No we did not(I didnt and my parses were equal or better). In 3.2 there was an option to go crit/haste or Spirit. 3.3 changed so that the "full out spirit" option is sort of removed and all need to go with crit/haste.

I have an idea about changing the spec if you already have an unholy dk providing ebon plague. It would involve giving up points from ebon plaguebringer, necrosis, dark conviction, and bladed armor to get black ice. This also kind of makes me wonder how it would be if black ice was first tier in the frost tree. If someone can crunch the numbers on it and get back to me that would be great.

I think the point he makes is trying a Drain Soul application as a last ditch effort to keep Corruption up when casting a 2 ish second Shadow Bolt would result in standing in fire, or taking multiple Bone Storm ticks to the face.

Yes, thanks edited it ^^

Ghoro - appreciate the long post. I was always a fan of the LT glyph. One thing I'm curious about, if you've done the numbers, is what LT glyph benefits you per immolate duration. For each immolate you get:

15s rotation:
920 damage from immolate (your numbers)
1.2k dmg from 1 conflag, and you get 1.5 conflagsper immolate = 1800

totaly damage gained: 2720 damage.
Let's put this in terms of 40s, the LT glyph duration, > 40/15 * 2720 = 7253 damage

So now the question is with your spirit, does the added spellpower make up for 1 GCD and 7253 damage over 40 seconds?

Now we need to add in all the other spells you'd use over 40s, 2/3s a CoD, incinerates, Chaos bolts, immos and conflags, along with added pet dps from higher SP. If someone wants to do this, great, or else run simcraft just to see...

I'd do the calcs now but I'm on my phone, so maybe layer. Would anyone else want to? It really depends on your gear and fight mechanics. I haven't used destro in a while though, so please take everything with a grain of salt.

The BiS trinkets should be Heroic Reign and Heroic Spyglass. If H Reign isn't available to you then it would be Regular Reign and Heroic Spyglass.

I strongly agree that MS should be prioritized over everything but Execute and TfB Overpower that's about to run out if you have the Execute glyph, because holding off using MS means a dps loss because it has a fixed cooldown.

Now, what I'm wondering about is, if MS can proc Execute, doesn't it make more sense using Execute if Sudden Death is on and MS is available only because MS can proc Sudden Death again, while if you use MS over Execute while Sudden Death is up, you lose that one SD proc.

My guess is that using SD Execute before MS is more damage if MS procs SD again, and a loss if it doesn't, only depends on if you have 40=< rage which means your Execute hits the highest it can and if white swing is about to give rage for the following MS.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on the optimal time to use speed pots. I used to just use them with heroism but with 2 pc t10 and blackmagic that easily puts me under 1sec casts and wastes alot of the haste. Recently I have just been speed potting before heroism on my first set of cooldowns but I would appreciate any input on the subject.

If this has been covered somewhere please direct me to it. Thanks.

I've always been a fan of modifiers and keybinds for abilities that perform a similar function:

Offensive abilities not used regularly

E - Hammer of Wrath
Shift E - Exorcism
Alt E - Holy Wrath

Offensive utility

Q - Hammer of Justice
Shift Q - Repentance
Alt Q - Turn Evil

Etc.

The keybinding you mentioned is recommended on paladinschmaladin.com, but I have to disagree mainly because you're using your index finger more than anything else in a setup like that, and that's slightly less efficient. If you're used to having things like CS and DS on your 1-4, then there's no need to fix what isn't broken. You'll have to get used to more keybinds, but spreading abilities like CS, DS, J, and Cons all over your keyboard just doesn't seem as efficient.

These bindings seems to be a rather hard to reach for me. Mine are QWES for movements. The primary dps abilities are:
CS : 1
DS : 2
Judge : 3
Consecration : SHIFT-1
Exo : SHIFT-2
Hammer : F1
Holy Wrath : Z. (maybe Y on english keyboard, near T.)

I don't say that mine are superior, but yours seems to be hardy on a movement requred fight, as moving and dancing around fingers isn't really confortabe for me at least.

The Tuskerr's Vitality run speed is by far the best enchant you can get to boost our DoB time (Damage on Boss). If it takes you 8% less time to reach your target then you have removed a good chunk of your "not damaging" time.
But this is arguable with the fact that we have Intercept. This gap closer has a CD and you cant reliably use it 100% of the time you need it. EX: warms in TOC they do 2 knock back effects. Or Lady D going from add to add to boss etc.

This being said, I have grown fond of Heroic Fury and enchant my boots with icewalker. I find myself almost never running out of a gap closer with 2xintercept. But it is arguable, and hard to model.
