I'm running Excel in OS X without Parallels or any similar software. This means that Macros aren't supported. Are they necessary to get optimal results when using the spreadsheet?

I've noticed my pets DPS is terrible. It's consistently the worst pet in the raid for damage. I've been making sure it's fully buffed and has mammoth treats going but it just doesn't provide anything of value. Is it really more valuable to glyph ghoul than something else for single target?

I was reading a few posts back and noticed no1 has included the [Fetish of Volatile Power] and it's non-heroic version. I was wondering if any 1 has done the math with this trinket to see how it stands DPS wise for our 3 main specs and if you could post it, Thnx.

Is there a "Haste Cap" for arcane mages? I'm sitting at 2700 Spell Power, 833 haste(25.4%).

PS: Is the Snowflake even an option after the hotfix?

I'd consider neither of the three trinkets you listed very effective to you as a holy priest in general, although if I personally had to pick one I'd go for the Talisman of Resurgence and make a macro with activating the trinket together with my PoH or something for larger throughput when I need it. I'm pretty sure 44 (+kings ~48) intellect would be valued above 500 mana every 45 seconds.

I personally use double SP trinket and since I've had no luck with any of the solace thus far I've just picked up what I can from a SP trinket perspective. If you want a second trinket with the Spark of Hope, try get the Sliver of Pure Ice from ICC10. Personally I use it together with my BElf racial every two minutes which is basicly a free mana pot per two minutes.

Also, I'd love to request some logs with tests of Lightwell in ICC on fights such as Deathwhisper and Saurfang where you could pop a Lightwell for Melee/Range or for the Marked people. Would be much appricated.

wondering why Black Magic isn't available in the enchants for weapons? Also wondering if Im a absolute retard for having Black Magic on my Off Hand.

Shaker · 12/30/09, 4:45 PM

The answer to the second question is actually the answer to both questions....

Gigulz · 12/30/09, 4:48 PM

Anyone out there tryin Black Magic on your off hand out of curiousity? I've been using it now since 3.3 and maybe I'm wrong but it seems to be working really well for me...

Yea I missed that part

thx

I will see what I can work out on the information you've given me. I will place any future posts related to this topic in the correct thread.

Messing around on the calculator it seems you have to take a few points from crit talents in order to max MC and decimation.

After the changes in demology, it has become more powerfull in raids. I dare say demology now is fully able to compete with affliction and destruction, that is of course provided that the gear setup is correct. I do not know for sure, but i dare say you will need mostly the same stats as for destruction, but with the ability to focus more on haste over crit due to the great deal of crit you gain from demology with the right placement of points. I have, however, not tried this myself and base the given information I've got from observing my fellow warlocks in raids who are demology...

I think probably it's just that 3.3 is working out for you (it is for all rogues). All the testing shows black magic as a significant dps decrease over berserking.
