Awesome thanks!

Just out of interest:

My first purchase with Emblems of Frost was the [Verdigris Chain Belt], because I thought it was the biggest upgrade over my Lord Jarraxxus 25 (nomral) tanking belt. Also, as proved on the last page the tanking sigil isn't all that effective as the old lvl 245 one.

What will the first purchase of you guys be with your Emblems of Frost? And why?

Hello guys!
I make some profile of Muti spec items for a 2 first wings of ICC. Profiler - Wowhead
What do you think about it? Is it the best choice for a time pre Hard Modes? For that moment have 1\2 of this items,not seems to be hard to get other(need badges & 2 drop items).

I took the belt as well Blanch. It is a very solid purchase. The only purchases I can see people making right now would be the Belt, Cloak, or Trinket, just based on their specific need. The cloak is definitely best in slot, at least in Rawr, even over the 277 items.

I was wondering if anyone had a complete list of the spells that proc Torment the Weak in raids besides Icy Touch and Tunderclap?

Not true. Haste simply falls below crit past the 400 mark, beforewhich it is equal to spellpower and above crit. Everything you need to know can be found here: http://elitistjerks.com/f47/t66856-moonkin_pve_dps/

Let me start by saying this forums have helped me play my DK better im a older person what im asking is can you put in the hard numbers for the specs instead of the formulas i dont know how to use the formulas when i say im a older person i only know the old math i never took algabra in school just the basic math i have a blood spec and frost DW i would like to enjoy the game better do better dps but the hard straight numbers is what i need if someone can explain how to use a formula for figureing out the specs that would be awsome thank you again for the very useful imformation that you ahave given everyone

In the very first page of the Compendium, Roywyn writes:

On unsnarable targets like raid bosses, only the attack speed slows Frost Fever, Thunder Clap, Judgements of the Just, Infected Wounds and the mage ability Slow triggers it.

I took the cloak due to the fact that I got very unlucky with the cloak drops in ToGC.

quick question for everyone here, in terms of DPS alone(not factoring in the bonus that healers would get) which spec would benift the raid more, demon or affliction (Both cookie cutter specs) with a group build of me(warlock), an arcane mage, a shadow priest, and 2 pally tanks (those are the people who would get more dps from the SP) assuming my demon pact is giving an average of 500 SP. Also one of our healeres is a shaman so we would have flametounge if I was affliction.

I'm looking for more information about Haste and Marks, specifically "soft cap" values.

How much do I need to get my steady shot down to a 1.5s cast in a raid (assume full raid buffs) WITHOUT Quick Shots (Imp. AotH)?

Should I be aiming for this cap in my BiS gear? Or is haste really just that bad and I should go for 0?

I'm currently planning 2 gearsets, 1 for non-herioc ICC loot (~700 ArP + an ArP proc trinket) and 1 for BiS heroic ICC (as close to 1400 passive ArP as possible), but I need to know more about how much haste (if any) I should go for.

Does it ever pass Crit in value (I.E. get 1-2 Haste/ArP pieces over Crit/ArP)?

Hmm,that one was unexpected.I don't want to spam in another thread,but,how would the situation look like for Destro?Should I save t9 4pc as long as possible as well?

Blanchtard · 01/02/10, 5:56 PM

Tbh, the gloves are pretty decent too. I think I'll burn my next set of 60 emblems on those.

This because I am still wearing my lvl 245 T9 ones and I think the emblem ones quite an upgrade (stamina wise: ~50 and armor wise: ~800). Also I am not really affraid to break up my set, as I didn't encounter a situtation just yet in ICC where healers were anywhere in trouble of keeping me/other tanks up. So in my eyes, they extra armor and stamina from the gloves will benifit me more than the 10 secs off the VB cooldown.

Warstehgnome · 01/02/10, 6:18 PM

Yeah I think the breaking of the 4pc T9 is not a huge deal at the moment. I love 50second cooldown UA/VBs, but the armor on the gloves, with a +armor enchant on them, is a huge amount of EH. Huge.

My next purchase will certainly be the cloak, due to the fact I'm wearing a 219 cloak. I am quite impressed with the offset pieces and am contemplating not using the t10 until we start thinking about hard modes.
