With the new ArPen nerf coming, gemming ArPen won't be a good idea like it is right now. You should save yourself some gold by just waiting for 3.2.2 and not gemming ArPen. I'm kind of upset that I have to replace as many epic gems as I do, but there's not really anything I can do about it.

Is this thread going to be updated anymore? Or has another one been started with more current info?

Have wondered for a while, on what point spell power becomes less benefical than haste rating. This is my gear currently atm. Generally i know its probably better to just improve what u lack most in. But wondered if a number cruncher could kindly run some numbers for me as i have completely no idea wtf to do or how to do it and dont generally have the time due to work commitments.

Here is my current armoury profile

The World of Warcraft Armory

Just atm when we have algalon tried or other HM bosses and i get a Power Infusion from a disc priest, my dps naturally rockets. Also i recall there was a magic number in TBC (1400 or so with FA) when if u crossed a certain threshold of spell power, your at the level where you may as well just gem for sp/haste or pure haste as its more of a dps increase.

Generally tend to have about 3.5k with raid buffs as destro.

Thanks in advance

Im new to heal but what does a healer need in order to up his/ her heals

Currently horde sets are listing [Velen's Gloves of Triumph] in place of Carnivorous Band for some reason.

Then perhaps I stumbled upon a bug with Windows Vista. I will take this topic to the sim thread to avoid cluttering this one with it.

Thanks Mavanas - two questions:

1) I already have two Stygian Bladebreakers, is it possible to create a macro to swap them or am I SOL?
2) I guess I'm still a bit fuzzy regarding weapon swapping - are you swapping after 5 stacks? How does the rotation work out with swapping? Do you still envenom?

**edit: the following is from about 2 pages prior to this: "Basic idea is to have deadly poison on, then as soon as DP is refreshed, swap to the same offhand weapon with wound poison on it, and before DP expires, swap back in time for DP to tick." - additionally on the "simple answers" thread the following is posted "Basically the model is as follows. As soon as 5th stack of deadly is reapplied, swap the offhands, thus swapping deadly for wound poison. Use the latter for a certain amount of time (denote it as n seconds). Then swap the poisons again. If you are lucky, in the time left before the deadly poison runs out, it will be reapplied (the probability of that depends on n). Alternatively, deadly poison stacks will drop and you will have to reapply it and suffer the corresponding damage loss."

- I'm a bit more confused now...just to clarify, you only apply one stack of DP and then switch to wound right before dp expires (or is it 5 stacks?) - swap again and re-apply dp. How do you handle envenom? Upon some cursory dummy testing (anecdotal considering I wasnt in a raid) - I found more often than not I was backed up against the 4/5 cp stack by the time I hit 5 DP stacks - I envenom and the process started over. This wasnt always the case, and there were times when I could switch to wound poison, but it wasnt every rotation. What am I doing wrong?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I can almost guarantee you that the Recount you just linked there, is taken out of a Hodir fight, might also be from a trash pack

also in that case, it's not impressive at all, as a decently geared Elemental shaman you should be able to push atleast 10K DPS on Hodir and even Vezax

Hi All,

I currently have a lvl 21 Druid. Any suggestions on any lower level armour sets/trinkets etc to help with the levelling grind? This is my first druid and I am planning on being a Balance spec.

Thanks in advance.
