How does 3.0.8 affect which poison to use for a mutliate rogue? I heard something about IP on Mainhand and DP on OH.... Is that true?

I am making the switch from 50/21 bm to survival and want to make sure my understanding of the optimal survival spec/geming/rotation/pet/etc is correct to insure optimal dps.

1: spec: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

is this close to what I am looking at for the cookie cutter max dps surv spec

2: gem/ench

agi > ap?

3: pet: raptor > cat?

Pet Calculator - Wowhead

4: shot rotation

Explosive Shot > Kill Shot > Serpent Sting > Aimed Shot > Steady Shot

no arcane shot?

5: macro

anyone have one?



thanks in advance.

All right, I apologize, I have the wrong word in my mind for it. But grammatically speaking, "gets worst" isn't correct either for my misunderstood meaning. It would have to be "becomes worst" or "gets to be the worst" for it to truly make sense for it to become lowest-value.

Quite the interesting thread. I am working on figuring out how I want to max out my HIT right now, so I will keep a close eye on this topic.

With patch today this is now implemented, Sounds good... But personally i feel Like the melee range requirement is holding it back.

Any thoughts?

hey im a full pve resto druid ive got decent gear for how long ive been raiding...but i still come behind most people in healing and mana gained...my gear is all out spirit and mana regen and ive got bout 1650 unbuffed in tree and i still get out healed by other druids...i mean i understand pallys and priests but other druids out healin me is makin me mad plus how im last on mana regen...is there anyway i can get any advice on how to heal/fix my mana regen problem without gettin laughed at?

P.S. i am aware im probly bad compared to many of you but i have to start some where

Why do your personal feelings have to have anything to do with building macros.

Or is this a forum made solely for you to whine and act like a tyrannical asshole on?

I thought this was a place to get information, not a soapbox for you to soak in your own spittle.

And who gives a dime if ones get banned by some abusive mod on the interweb ... ?

This forum is a respected forum, because you can find some TECHNICAL information on the game mechanic that you can't find any other place, and also because people tend to post in a polite and correct manner. If mods start acting worse than the people they police, what's the meaning ?

is that Windows OS your running or no? and very nice ui btw.

Thanks, that is just what I was wondering.

Yes, i'm going to say he/she is using Stardock.com - Your Edge In Software or something like it.

Hi guys,

I was thinking about switching to Survival with this new patch and I was wondering with the new change of Arcane shot(reduce mana cost) and the nerf of steady shot, is it a good idea to add it in the survival shot rotation?
I was thinking something like this: Serpent sting, explosive shot, arcane shot, steady shot

Does that make sence? I've never been Survival spec, so any advice would be appreciate, which glyph is the best etc...

I was thinking about this build: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance !

I was able to write a spam macro that seems to work well with the patch.

/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/cast Kill Shot
/cast Berserking(Racial)
/castrandom Arcane Shot, Arcane Shot, Arcane Shot, Steady Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE")
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1

Sometimes steady will fire off twice when arcane is up, but overall its a handy tool. I play a troll so the racial line can be taken out etc.

FoK was 22% of my overall clear damage tonight. I did 12,000 dps on the first spider pack.

Windows OS w/ some visual style from deviantart (possibly the best place to get themes)

lassekongo83 makes some damn nice themes, fyi.

Jup, you just need to download a Windows Patcher and run it .. forgot the name right now tho.

But yeah it's Windows XP with a theme from Deviant art

I actually did a whole new specc, which should be a plus to my dps. Can't wait for next naxx run! with loads of hastepotions to be used, jeejee.

... Though I need more practice with IS MF wrath till eclipse starfire rotation... Only 3.1k dps in 10man vault :E

First of all, I want to thank your for this detailed discussion, wich lead me to spec on 0/16/55 with 3 points in better flamethounge / strength totem an no points in better HW / better CH.

Yes i know this is quite radical. But in my opion only a bit forward thinking in terms of this thread.

For those who might want a little background info. I'm resto since launch BC on Mal'ganis EU and love it. Leveling up to 80 at enhancement (which i needed as a casual as I am) I ended up at respeccing resto with pure 70 ZA/SSC/heroic badges Equip.

As far as i am lucky having a guild taking me with (1,5 k SP @ beginning) them to 25 Naxx each Sun I could reach little imrpvements in equip. with 1755 SP and something above 30% crit unbuffed mana is around 18 k. I glyphed healing stream / LHW / WS

Even under these bad equip conditions i could now heal some 25 encounter with no manaproblems even @ Patchwork, wich we do in 4:11 right now. As much as my Sp and Crit rises I will be able climbing up the total healing done ledder. Wich is quite difficult with 3 COH priests in my raid.

Summarized: I love this spec. With a few changes it should also greatly work in pvp - as far as i often give ES someone else, as long as I learned ES i no kind of thing I will last long from cos of purging or stealing it etc. But rigt now i love this spec espeacially fpr PvE. I got only to focus (this is my opinion regarding my act. eq status) +crit and SP. I avoid items with haste cos with TW my LHW is at .9 wich is quite enough.

SO heres my question. Installing Patch 3.0.8 right now i had no chance to test it but theres a siginificant difference in patchnotes in english and german language, wich is as far as i could see is not causes by mistaken translation.

EN: Shaman

* All shaman talent points have been refunded. Please visit your trainer to learn spells and abilities.
* Fire Nova Totem: Now no longer generates threat.
* Healing Way: Now only one application is required to reach full benefit. No longer stacks.
* Improved Water Shield: Lesser Healing Wave now has a reduced chance to trigger this talent.

how awfull - seems Blizz wants to get us back to CH spam / MP5 collecting

GER

*Verbesserter Wasserschild: 'Geringe Welle der Heilung' hat nun eine höhere Chance, dieses Talent auszulösen.

what exactly says the opponent of the english note.

So what to beleave? Is there a future for LHW spam (beleaving EN version is right)? Or am a a damn lucky ass - playing on a german realm :-P

with the changes to bm what would be the raiding bm spec and what would be a good macro with arcane shot on it. i still want to be bm cause it's my playstyle .

Hi all. Plz ask macro 0/14/57 Macro Surv bild

Forgot about Sniper, thanks.

Lol Meneldil just noticed your on barth pst me on your DK we do some testing sometime
