Hey guys Been reading on this thread for a while and I've come to a fork in the road with equipment. Should I use Gauntlets of Serene Blessing (standard 28 spellpower enchant) or Gauntlets of Revelation (28 spellpower with some variation of an INT gem)?

Serene Blessing obviously has more spellpower, but not as much int. Revelation has the gem socket so I can stick 20 int in there and increase my mana pool. But what im worried that Holy Guidance wont fill in the spell power gap between the two gloves and it will turn into a downgrade. Thus my predicament. Any idea?

Can I ask questions as a level 40?

This thread explains why there is only punishment and no rewarding in here. Drunktards.

I've been dpsing in arms for the past few months but I've decided to go back to fury. My dps has been dismal since I started back.
The World of Warcraft Armory

What is wrong with my build? should I replace my ArP gems with strength??

Help would be awesome.

With the nerf coming to Arm Pen, will arm pen MM still be on top?

I was wondering if UA is considered a viable choice, since I have not seen in the OP's example templates.
25% strenght every 2 minutes at the expense of a frost rune seems like a good tradeoff and I could leave out 1 point it subversion to get it.

25% str for 20 seconds every 120 seconds tranlates into 4.166% str at all times for 1 talent point (if used every immediately).

I am a long time reader, first time poster. In response to Daidalos, I too had the same questions as you in concern for the HEP report values for SP and haste. For a while there SP was typically top HEP value for most of the HEP reports, then all the sudden haste HEP doubled with a patch change. I was as skeptical as you and with some free time I crunched the numbers and came up with almost the exact same SP to Haste conversion (mine was 1 sp = .98 Haste) for strict throughput, ignoring how haste interacted with mana consumption and overhealing. I have the math saved in a word document if anyone was interested. I also did some simple math for SP -> Crit and had around 1 SP = 2 Crit. For a while I used all SP gems and SP trinkets and was raiding with 3820+ SP, mostly because I find it to be a well rounded stat. SP interacts very well with Earth Shield, Healing Stream, and Earthliving where Haste faulters. I jumped on board the haste bandwagon before I did my own math and going mainly off the 1.4-1.7 Haste HEP values, and it was a very hard decision for me since I liked big numbers. But I am finding since the change that the Haste makes chain heal a more comfortable spell to heal with when your sub 1.7 second cast. What I guess im trying to get at, and I have seen alot of people agree with this, is that you cant go wrong with either SP or Haste. It mainly comes down to playstyle, but I think the reason HEP for haste are higher is not because it is a better throughput stat but the reaction to raid damage improvement that cant be modeled with theorhetical calculations but rather by the HEP reports based on your specific encounter, raid setup, and healing assignment. Haste will make you more of an effective healer than SP will.

The nerf ends up being a 12% decrease to armor penetration, meaning that the armor pen spec would need approximately 200 more armor penetration to be the most effective. (In my current knowledge that would mean Icecrown gear if no new changes to our class or armor pen. happen)

Hello,

I am pretty new to Warrior but I did get my hit rating to 8%+ and my expertise to 26 like the posts suggested.

The one thing I am having problems with is the dps and what abilities to use when.

1) On multiple pulls I pretty much just spam Cleave and WW when its not on CD.

2) On Bosses I Sunderx5 since I have low ArP and then just Heroic Strike and WW when it is up, and of course Slam when Slam! procs.

I know Im probably not doing things correct so I was wondering just in general how ppl are dps'ing for multiple pulls and single target like bosses.

Thank you for any advice you can offer in advance.

I was wondering if you guys could help me improving my dps a bit further. In 25man raids it seems I cant break 6k dps - peaking around 5.5k on non gimmick, single target only fights.
My rotation is IT PS DS HS HS - dump - DS HS HS HS HS - dump. I mostly pop DRW/Hysteria/Ghoul right at the start of a fight and hope its ready for BL again, which isnt always the case - at least for Hysteria. Is it worth to have 1 hysteria less/fight but at least having it during BL?
My disease uptime seems to be around 80-90%. This is mostly due to dodged attacks (not expertise capped).
Also, it happens to my that my rotation starts to shift to something more improvised, but always with the priority to have Diseases up for my HS's.

Here's a log:
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis

If there's any obvious mistake I do, please tell.

Spec is 51/0/20, glyphs are Dark Death, DS, DRW, armory on the left side.

Thanks for pointing that armor bug out. I knew there was something up with that, armor was being way overvalued. I definitely see potential though
