I have been looking around to try and find the Armour Penetration cap for Warrior's and have been unable to find it. Can anyone fill me in please?

My bad, misread it. My apologies, Erdluf.

"Item - Priest T10 Healer 4P Bonus - Increases the effect of your Renew and Power Word: Shield spells by 5%. (Old - Your Circle of Healing and Penance spells have a 20% chance to cause your next Flash Heal cast within 6 sec to reset the cooldown on your Circle of Healing and Penance spells.)"

What u guys think about it ? I´ve always been Playing with 2 parts t10 (hands , shoulders)and 2 parts itemlvl 258 t9(head + legs) .. What do you guys think about the change ? Im Holy and the bonus before wasnt worthfull in my eyes but now with 5% more renew healing it may be more interesting..

At first my question , are those 5% Overall or is it 5% /tick?

would like to see some thoughts about it

If you really want to make a BiS-gear without hardmodes, you are free to use the stat weights from this thread or simcraft and use one of the methods I explained in the T7/T8 lists (which are useless now, I just keep them to show how you could make up a list for yourself). In my opinion, just taking any clear upgrade while having a BiS-list in mind is the best choice. Only fools would leave out every drop but the BiS-item. I can only image very rare cases where this does not work out perfectly, like strict 10-man raiders or something. Of course I respect those players, but they are really a minority and will probably be used to work things out for their own. And if you really are never going to do any hardmodes, just take away the "heroic" from the gear and you have a good composition as well!

Thanks for the reply Namnalia. I understand your point here. I will be looking at the stat weights, and make up my own list. I also noticed that I could just take away "Heroic" from each item, and get a good list.

Like I said, it was more a suggestion than anything else, and I have to agree, after a while, the list would become pretty useless. Thanks again for the fast reply.

Xindani. Great looking UI! Do you have it packaged so that we can see how it would work? I, personally, would love to try it!

I'd also like to know if the 5% bonus applies to Empowered Renew.

I can hold agro pretty well, but I want to be a better tank. I'm only doing 2K DPS while tanking most dungeons. I'm just now getting into 10 mans and have mainly been doing heroics. Any suggestions? All of my gear have been drops or triumph bought.

Hi landsoul. i noticed you are now using the glyph of rending over glyph of cleaving. Are u using rend into your normal rotations now? Please enlighten me if you can. Thanks very much for your time. Cheers

Hey could anyone upload Spreadsheet saved as Excel pleas? Thanks.

It's been known for awhile now that Rend is a DPS increase, but requires little latency otherwise the lag will offset BT/WW and create a DPS loss. If you look at his World of Logs, you can see he's using rend though.

Kezef · 03/03/10, 1:29 PM

I have a few questions regarding dps potential. Is there any place that list what this can be? I checked out the Simulator this thread is talking about and can't seem to actually locate it........Maybe it's just me but I'm confused.

I have a well geared Dranei Shammy but on single target boss's I struggle getting my dps to stay above 6k It starts well but by end of fight it begins to diminish. From what I understand boss's like Rotface on 25man require 7k dps to bring down. The other boss's after that require more and I just can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this??

My toon name is Kezef in Area 52, can be found on Wowhead and the Armory

GS - 5642
BD - 2744 (unbuffed)
Hit - 454 (17.31%) which is much higher than it needs to be but I'm not gemed for it.
Crit - 31.16%
Haste - 853

I would love some advice, I've read thread after thread and can't seem to find the answer to qustion of dps potential.

That would be amusing to watch a hunter run his pet around, intercepting them.

HI im new to modifying my UI and was wondering what addons are good for Healing especially for a Holy Pally and if any healers or Holy pallys could post there UI with the addons list for it that would be awesome or if you could email me with some tips that would be great.
Also Blacksen i love your UI setup what addons do you use? Thanks Guys I'm dumb and posted my email but a mod removed it for me.

Cerevantes · 03/03/10, 4:08 PM

The new PTR version of Ferocious Inspiration additionally buffing Steady Shot damage by 9%

Quickly doing some calculations about the net benefit to BM.

::EDIT:: Initial tests show a 210 dps increase by boosting SS dmg 9%. This puts BM above SV, but still drastically below MM

cArn- · 03/03/10, 4:50 PM

Talking about heroic brynntroll, is it really worth getting it given the lack of stats and fast speed ? Wonder if anyone tried it seriously to give some idea about how good or bad it is, compared to let's say heroic cryptmaker

Holas · 03/03/10, 6:21 PM

btw pets do not seem to gain the raid wide buff in icc

I tried dismissing calling pet, leaving the zone and getting my pet killed and rezing but nothing worked.

RE: Heroic Bryntroll

I got this last night and while it definitely is a great improvement over Shadow's Edge, it seems somewhat lack-lustre compared with the other weapons on offer. It didn't do much damage on my Saurfang kill.

Vice · 03/03/10, 7:06 PM

That's pretty much what I was doing, which is a definite no go for hard modes. Guess it just takes some getting used to.

They are crafted with Leatherworking; there is no heroic version.

Ok, I could use some advice or citique here. Mainly experimenting a little bit.

Current build is: http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?drui...z,F8S-OH,11623

And yes, I'm hit capped at 352, I can actually go with 5pt10. Unbuffed at 35% crit, 550 haste. Using FBS and toc25 chalise. Or side gear being, t9 helm with neiblung

Just thoughts on whether or not a build like this is worth it, or am I spending too much on hit for itemization?

Hyperion · 03/03/10, 8:14 PM

Drop some hit off your gear, 2% hit per talent point is too much of a dps increase to leave out. I also suggest, if you're a serious raider, that you drop Typhoon, as long as you're not using it for knock-back (i.e., Blood Beasts).

Slandebande · 03/03/10, 8:57 PM

Hey there, been reading here for a while, alot of great info to absorb so to speak!

EDIT: The issue was resolved quite quickly, sorry for taking up a spot here!

Keep up the good work!

onescout · 03/03/10, 10:17 PM

I am currently looking to change my spec and I have been looking around a lot at various things. One of the things I was trying to figure out is whether or not to drop force of nature to pick up an additional point in genesis or improved moonfire. Additionally I was wondering if it was worth it to pick up starfall if you main focus in raiding is single target dps. If not then that would add an additional 2% to damage from my dots each adding about 4% more damage for my dots.
