For Frost-DW Damage Dealer (4/5 T9):

1. Mainhand = higher max dmg + Razorice, Offhand = lower/same (but high as possible) max dmg + Fallen Crusaer?
2. Sigil of Awareness > Sigil of Virulence?
3. Is it expedient to use trinkets while at the start of a fight to stack strong Debuffs and dont let them drop with Rune of Disaese?
4. 8% hit is the goal, but a little bit more isnt as bad because of spellusing?

Hi there, im extremely new to Cat Dps in raiding, however ive collected some great gear along the way. So i decided to try it out.

So someone told me to gem ArP, i did it, i started to read and now im confused.

I dont have grim toll or that other one.
My ArP without gems was 323
now with gems (rare gems) its 459


should i have gemed Agility ?

also just confirming when you say x < 400 this is the static ArP value and not when trinket procs ?

should i re gem or work towards having another 77 ArP rating to get to 400 from gear and then leave the gems as is ?

Thank you for any help you provide.

Are you seriously asking that? The trinket proccs are 612 and 665 ArP.... And that is stated several times in my guide.

You can leave your gems like they are right now. It doesn't make sense to regem to agility and next week you'll get new upgrades, which will push your ArP...

i'v been looking and i cant seem to find this simple answer.

what is the arp hard cap in 3.2.2?

I've been running spreadsheets until I was blue in the face, but since I don't have a full copy of Xcell, I can't use the spreadsheet fully, although it probably comes down to my incompetence. I have some general questions regarding Mace spec arpen builds.

My current live stats are:
576 armor pen with Grim Toll
4200 ap
40% crit
270 hit
13/13 expertise

No set bonuses to speak of, although I have 4/5 conq (missing shoulders) in the bank.

My question is, with Grim Toll, I'm at the soft arpen cap. At this point, is it better to stack all agi or continue socketing arpen (think I get to 750 with all gems for arpen)?

Also, for a evis only rotation, is 13/13 expertise okay, or should I put on some pieces I have that would put me at the cap but sacrifice some serious stats?

Finally, with the changes to arpen, what is the acceptable general gear level to switch to evis only from 4 piece t8 high rupture builds?

I've sat behind training dummies for hours, but I have terrible RNG luck, so the numbers are inconsistent at best.

For the Survival Hunter, in PvP you'd need 75 spell pen, 35 on the cloak, then 2 of 20 spell pen, so its 35+40

Then, I gemd my pvp helm with 21 agil and 3 crit strike rating,.

Nostory,

The actual hit cap is 8% or 263 hit rating.

Soft caps are as follows:

7% - 230 + Heroic Presence or 1/3 Focused Aim
6% - 200 + 2/3 Focused Aim or 1/3 FA AND Heroic Presence
5% - 164 + 3/3 FA or 2/3 FA AND Heroic Presence
4% - 132 + 3/3 FA AND Heroic Presence

.The fast and easy rule of thumb for ArP-based MM Specs is to wait until you are Uld 10 geared, but there are exceptions.

The wolf is the best pet for raid DPS for MM/Survival Hunters. The Devilsaur is arguably the best pet for BM.

The Glyph of Steady Shot is "bugged" for lack of a better term. It appears that you get the benefits of Glyph of Steady Shot with 5/5 in Marked for Death. I hope this helped somewhat.

Currently I use

Since I haven't seen posts regarding comparison as of late, how do enchants currently stack up in end-game/near end-game ToC gear? Obviously Executioner would work if stacking for hardcap, but what are thoughts regarding Berserking/Mongoose/Massacre at this point?

change glyph back to stun and remove gcd on the ability would make it a really fun addition to the rotation imo. Just a thought

then we would have to care about mana again which would bring us to pve viability of improved stormstrike and other mana consumption reducing talents... I see a chance of some really fun additions to the class tbh!

Wrong
