Quick question for everyone who could give me a hand with this. I've been very beside myself as to choose between the t9 2 piece set bonus + t10 2 piece set bonus, or the t10 4 pieces set bonuses. I was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to answer this quickly for me.

I'm sure it's already been disputed somewhere on the site, but even though I've been browsing these forums for the longest time (first time ever posting though :P) I still have slight difficulty maneuvering my way around (as it may seem). I do not know how, but unforeseen threads always find their ways to pop up at random times.

I decided to go Affliction as my personal Dps was significantly higher and we generally only ran 2-3 casters in our raid when ICC came out. The difference between my Demo Dps and Affliction was approximately 400-500 dps. Do you guys think the ISB and demonic pact buffs that are incoming will bring Demo about on par with Afflictions dps after the patch?

I recently obtained TAiaJ, there is any need to post combat logs, or has the testing been done thoroughly?

IMO i think having the range dps (mage,hunter) are better off killing the adds at saurfang. If you have your melee dps just bursting the boss then you should overcome the boss fight... as long as no one is using AoE (espicially tanks) because i have recently found out that when tanks AoE... his runic power increases fast. Then when it reaches 100 it will target someone and that could wipe your ride espicially if it happens 2+ times. (I know from experience :P)

hey guys, I just bought the last 2 pieces of my T10. I now have 4 pieces and the 10% additional seal/judgement damage, but I somehow feel my DPS has gone down. Would you say the 2pc T9 and 2pc T10 is more DPS than 4pc T10. I am referring to the il245 for T9 and il251 for the T10

So I should definitely be bidding all of my dkp on TAIJ? I had a feeling that trinket was underrated at first.

hum... still having the same issue here. loaded my char several times and messed a lot on options and configs and still got negative dps values. This started happening with v2.3.6. Still using 2.3.5 here.

Now that the Dark Nucleus tanking has become a viable role for hunters at Princes, could you please add Flask of Stoneblood to the spreadsheet in future update.

A while back in this thread or the PTR 3.3 one I remember noticing someone talking about an issue I recently encountered myself, having too much haste for your mana pool.

Am I the only having these issues (faster cast times leading to more holy light casts again leading to mana issues by forcing me to plea so often I ended up going oom stupidly fast) and is there any calculations regarding ideal haste/mana rate?

My first post here so excuse me if I this was a retarded question that I deserve to be banned for asking, but I did try searching but I couldn't find much discussion regarding this.

I have a quick question.

Is Val'anyr worth the time and effort. Some people tell me its only 5% increase in HPS and I wanted to know if anyone has done the math and what they have come up with? Is there current items in the game that are actually better for Resto druids. I have one on my Druid and today I had a priest tell me that it was average at best.

How well does black magic sim compared to +63sp with the shaman t10 2set bonus?

Haste proc = more lb/cl's = quicker to reset EM.

Is it debatable, or clear cut?

Cheers for your time.

Because if you look, Winding sheet is only on BiS List for Plate Priority. The Plate Priority works under the assumption you are trying to reserve rolls for only Strength Based Items unless it is something that by taking it you won't be taking an opportunity from an Agility based class (i.e. Boss Drops as opposed to the Rep Ring)

If you look at the BiS List for all items (Non-discriminatory), you'll notice it is on the BiS list.

I recently won [Blood-Soaked Saronite Stompers] and they are replacing [Greaves of the 7th Legion]

So I lose 59 expertise, which brings me down to 10 rating (20 with SoV glyph). I'm having a tough time replacing what I lost. I do have this ring: [The Lady's Promise] but I'd need to swap out either [Ashen Band of Unmatched Vengeance] or [Ring of Rotting Sinew]. I tried putting all my gear choices into RAWR and hitting optimize but I'm unsure if it takes expertise into account?

To what extent should you reconfigure your gear to reach the Expertise cap? Should I gem/enchant for it... swap in the ring... hold off on the new boots.. or just roll with 10/20 expertise.

Oh and I logged out in my offspec tank gear, my Ret gear can be viewed here if needed: WoW Heroes - World of Warcraft PvE character info & ratings

Any help appreciated.

Reaching hit and expertise caps is important, but you can still end up (on average) with higher DPS if you're slightly below the cap with higher level gear. Rawr definitely takes expertise into account, why wouldn't it - just make expertise gems and -enchants available to the optimizer, if getting to the expertise cap is possible that way and better than sticking with alternative gems/enchants, the optimizer should find a gear set for you that leaves you with 0% chance to be dodged.

Everyone always coming to Zathras with problems. Great responsibilities. But Zathras does not mind. Zathras trained in crisis management.

ETA on ICC10/25 BIS Items?

I'm just curious as to what is the status of BIS lists for Arms and Fury warriors which take into consideration ICC10/25 loot.

Obviously the heroic modes for ICC are not yet available, however considering certain pieces which drop in the currently accessible raids such as Deathbringer's Will; one would imagine that the gear choices currently listed in the BiS should be modified considerably in order to maximize DPS return.

Since Arthas loot is not available and in most guilds you can't afford to get every item that is an upgrade for you, the BiS list will be available to discuss when Arthas loot is available (read: next week).
