Ahhh. Thanks guys I appreciate that.

SO basically what im looking to do is maintain HS, while using a typical bs ww slam on proc rotation.

Really apologize about that,
I have not updated my profile in a long time, I have the correct character name now.
If you would like to check me out now you can

Im trying to decide what i should buy first. I can buy [Herkuml War Token] and [Malevolent Girdle], OR i can just get [Lightsworn Helmet]. i do get a bigger dps boost if i buy the waist and the trinket, but i feel bad that im not going to buy a future BiS item. Any suggestions?

I am currently using the major glyphs It, DD, and Ghoul. However, I have been thinking of testing out SS glyph for IT since i've obtained 2 pc t10. My reasoning is that since SS is now the majority of dmg with reaping spec, having diseases up longer so I can fit in more SS or BS would be more beneficial to the 20% of disease dmg on IT. (Single Target dmg) On AE situations I think the IT glyph may still be the clear choice. Basically what i'm getting at is that I am still not sold on the IT glyph and feel that perhaps other glyphs would be more beneficial. Any thoughts?

It is essentially impossible to fully resist anything now. You could be missed (via the imp def stance or something similar) but a full resist cannot happen unless you have some absurd amount of resistance (over 2k, basically).

I would suggest to go for 4p bonus first as it is quite an unpgrade. When this is done you can buy offset pieces and purchase last part of set only when and if you need it. BiS is just relative term derived from your curent gear anyway...

If I missed this somewhere else in the thread I am sorry. I have been running unholy since 3.3 and up until then been playing blood so this has required some mild adjustments on how I play and perform. I have a couple questions that I hope I can get somehelp with.

1) On encounters like Saurfang and Festergut I am performing roughly 3-5% below what I am simulating, is this typical? Should I expect to perform at 99-100%?

2) The rogues, warriors and retadins that I used to compete with and in most cases out perform even dominate are now outperforming me, especcially the rogues, is anyone else getting similar results?

I have a million more questions but this is enough for now.

Thank you,

Waitnbleed

Just started back on WoW again.
Do 2 Unholy DKs still have to fight for EP?

Does EP stack with Crypt Fever if one of the DKs isn't specced down into EP?

Karv · 01/29/10, 3:04 PM

Looking at your gear/spec your ideal gemming would be AP/Haste and it sounds like the spreadsheet is telling you the same. You may have been confused with the Combat discussion on Hit gemming; the spreadsheet seems to recommend hit gems for HnS spec. This is of course general information and will largely depend on your gearing.

Thanks for the info... Yeah i guess then the best thing for me would be the haste... Regarding my current gear it will change significantly in the next week... but thats for the help. Ill try to message you if i have any other questions if you dont mind

Noobia · 01/29/10, 3:10 PM

Hi, my first post. So please fogive me for being noobish. I just had a question. I want to level my dk to be a tank. She's currently 71. What spec do you suggest and how to place her points to make sure she levels correctly without getting anyone killed in the process? I have all her tanking gear on now. Any suggestions would be good. Thank you!

xeonight · 01/29/10, 3:17 PM

Thank you Ewok. To further that question; does Icy Reach then increase HB's radius, or just my reach to the target?

Moonziold · 01/29/10, 3:22 PM

I figured as much...I'm at the point of just saving badges for 4 piece t10...I'm assuming I should just keep plugging away at ToGC

shermmann · 01/29/10, 3:31 PM

ok looking for help here on my spec...for some reason I'm only putting out 3500-4000 dps and feel I should be doing over 5K. The World of Warcraft Armory - Barlaam @ Thrall - Talents

rotation

CoE/CoD
Immolate
Conflagerate
Choaos Bolt
Incinerate till Conflagerate and/or Immolate is ready to be cast again

Moonziold · 01/29/10, 3:38 PM

This is me currently:

The World of Warcraft Armory - Moonzi @ Mannoroth - Profile

This is my pre heroic build:

character planner . moonzi . chardev seven

I basically need the 4 piece, heroic solace, heroic autumn bracer, ring off LDW, we've almost downed Put (I have the cloth belt which is basiaclly the same thing besides gem slot) and weapon off BQ.

With this build I would also be able to go 11/0/60 correct? having 866 haste and always having a ret pal/boomkin and ele shaman in raid.

On World of Logs, for example, go to the Log Browser, and clear out the general query. Add in one where your Priest's name is the SOURCE, Prayer of Mending is the SPELL, and tick the HEAL checkbox. Run the query, and you have every heal that your PoM did throughout the fight, including bounces.

For every line in the log, sum the effective and overhealing. Divide by 1.2 to see what the heal would have been without 2pc. Subtract that amount from the effective healing on that line. You now have the real bonus that 2pc provided for that one line of the log. Repeat this for every line of PoM healing.

Like I said, on the few logs I examined of my healing with 2pc, it provided an abysmally low overall bonus to my healing, typically on the 1% side of the 1-3 range. Which is most certainly made up for by 264 upgrades in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply.
