If you capped the defense rating the "Hit Table" is %miss + %parry + %dodge + %block = 102,4.

[...] the server makes a single "roll of the dice" to determine what happens on an attack, and all your avoidance chances, as well as your chance to be crit, are applied at the same time to that one roll. [...]

It largely will depend on your particular gear set. 4PC T9 favors FS, Long, stationary fights (over 5.5m) favors Fire Elemental. There's never going to be one perfect answer unless you're wearing the BiS set. The answer as always, is sim it yourself with your gear, and determine what makes the most sense for your gear. You may be a person who just doesn't like using FS in your rotation... That's the beauty of the sim, you can configure it to cast spells in the priority you choose, and go from there.

Hi im new to the forums and was just wondering what the thought was on the Tiny Abomination in a Jar for us Frost Dks?

Just trying to decide on if I should pick it up or just go with my DC and get a DBW.

rotation after 2p t10?

So is there a conclusion as to what the best rotation is after acquiring the two-piece T10 bonus?

All I've heard is AB spam is no longer the highest dps and/or should not be used during burn phases.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks much.

The haste stat is a very common misconception, 20% haste is not a 20% faster cast despite Blizzard's poor tooltip, so in the interest of making sure people understand the correct formula (which I think is important regards Simulationcraft's output):
Hasted Cast Time = Base Cast Time / (1+ %haste)

thus 40% haste on a 2.5s SB is 1.78s

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong!

I was wondering if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong because I only reach about 5k dps max.

I follow the following rotation if its a boss:
IFF, MF, IIS, Wrath till eclipse, starfire till eclipse ends, redo dots (occasionally use starfall,treants,typhoon on moving fights) then start the wrath till eclipse again

On trash mobs I generally not cast IFF or IIS if I think raid can kill it quick

On Aoe trash fights more then 3 targets:
starfall,treants,typhoon,spam hurricane until one of the instants are up

The World of Warcraft Armory - Dargu @ Eitrigg - Profile

For weapons I have Nibelung(264) or Perdition (232)

I have 4T9 but I replaced the gloves with Handguards of Winter's respite, the pants with Leggings of Unrelenting Blood, and the chest with Lunar Eclipse Robes (gemmed it differently to see if it would help so I know those gems are off). I have the Lasherweave Cover for a head slot but don't want to lose my 2T9 set bonus.

As for gems I have tried all the different type of druid gems and it doesn't help much at all. I figured I would use the +12SP/+10Crit in sockets where I would get the SP bonus of 5 or more. But stick with Runed Cardinals for everything else.

As for Trinkets, I'm not sure which to use in order to keep a decent hit rate and to maximize dps
I currently have Abyssal Rune, Sundial of the Exiled, Elemental Focus Stone, Darkmoon Cardeath, Talisman of Resurgence, and Shard of the Crystal Heart.

As Idols I have both Idol of Lunar Fury and Idol of Lunar Eclipse

I know my gear isn't the greatest but I am working to get better. Everyone else in ICC25 raid does 7k-10k even though some of my gear is better then theirs, gearscore add-on says my gear is 5567 even though that doesn't mean much but everyone elses isbarely 5000. So I have better gear but consider my dps to need lots of improvement. I am just not sure what I need to do. I use to top dps charts back in the BC days.

Just someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong so I can fix it and become good dps again.
oh and sorry to post here if its in wrong place, its the only place it would let me.

Here we go after a full nights work... I don't have school tomorrow, or should I say today ; so I decided to get my UI going. Here is my final outcome - except... I want to find a better place for Omen that fits the rest of the UI nicely. Anways.. enjoy!

I had a similar problem with Omen when I started trying to build a custom UI. Have you tried locking it? It removes those two lines down the middle, as well as the resize hatch in the bottom right, and makes it look a lot more "in place". It did the trick well for me.

Quote from Blizzard staffChanges to PPM procs
We changed the way PPM procs work to make sure many of the weapons and trinkets did their expected performance in Icecrown instead of proc'ing too much for some specs or classes or forcing players into unusual behavior to try and fish for the procs. This change also affected some older mechanics in the game too such as the Berserking enchant. For the most part the intent is that these systems all proc off of attacks and they are balanced with that assumption.

At this time we're happy with the damage that characters are now doing after these changes, though we'll continue to monitor and adjust damage overall and that includes the proc-based items. (Source)

Obviously it's a matter of personal preference as to what information you want and when, but I find that I don't need to watch threat and dps at the same time. It's possible to set omen to hide out of combat, and recount to hide in combat. You can then stick them in the same place and save yourself some space.

Even better, in my mind, is to use Skada. It lacks the more detailed information that recount can offer (the pi charts and such), but if like me you rarely if ever use these then skada offers both a dps/healing/death/failetc. meter and a threat meter together. It can be set to switch in combat, looks neater than recount and is much lighter. It also displays exactly how it arrived at the figure it outputs in a tooltip, which can help you to make a bit of sense of the occasionally odd-looking figures that dps meters can throw out.

Well I'm not that focused on what will be optimal for me atm, more of which set pieces will most likely be included in bis gear(264)? Impending boots are quite expensive to craft and heroic fur boots should outoperform them anyways.

If I take the T10 pants i have the option to switch T9.245 helm to marginally better bag of entrails or even to geistlords helm.
