Anyone know if you have to wear Shadowmourne to complete the quest ?

I mean use the axe to get the infusion and go back to my regular tanking gear.

Saw a fellow rogue with black magic enchant on OH (250 haste proc). Since it is not available to the spreadsheet choice I assume it has been modeled and judged not worthwhile? It has been proven to proc from poisons and poisons are applied at very high frequency for both combat and mutilate so how good is that enchant given how haste seems to take over AP at higher gear levels. (Apologies if this has already been posted)

Edit:
Searching rogue forum and its various threads brings me no results other than lower uptime on black magic, I guess its a good enough reason!

A thing that no one has realized yet is that for arms the 4t10 bonus, increasing execute usage and thus reducing slam usage, will mean we won't have to stand still while dpsing. I personally hate slam and hope blizzard will take it off our rotation because it is casted. Just imagine on a fight which involves lots of movement (like say professor putricide) how nice it is to be able to use an ability every GCD while not having to stand still (and risking of having the boss/add going out of range). I personally think that the bonus will be quite good (after it gets fixed) out of this sole reason, it takes slam off our backs (well at least to some extent).

Figure it's a proper time to bring this thread back, Resistance Mechanics in WotLK.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

check the FAQ

A: ...if it was any good? Short answer: no. Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.''

I don't go OOM. Unless every single person in the raid is completely topped off, I never have to stop casting. I know how to manage my cooldowns and I know how to take advantage of Holy Concentration procs with my stacking Solace and outside-of-casting mana regen.

I could just as easily tell you enqi that any priest that goes OOM on an encounter is doing something very wrong and doesn't know how to manage their mana. I'll save a real response to the points you made in your post when you can vocalize them without complaining about how "terrible" Priests are compared to Druids and Shamans.

God doesn't kill people. People who believe in God kill people.

Gemming all ARP: At what % is it best to gem for STR again? Should I take sunders into consideration? I currently have 88.24% with the food buff.

You're absolutely correct in that I don't understand. I will now excuse myself from the rest of this conversation. Happy theorycrafting. I'll await the results.

Question regarding expertise for a Retri pala. My expertise is very low atm, due to not having the proper expertise items. You can see my profile here: The World of Warcraft Armory - Maertsol @ Bloodhoof - Profile

The question is: is it better to socket/enchant expertise till i get to cap (this makes sense to me, as being expertise capped will greatly improve my damage), or socket/enchant STR/AP (this is what rawr tells me is better to do)...

Obviously, the solution is to get expertise items and gem/enchant ap, but AT THE MOMENT, while i don't have those items available, what is best course of action for max dps?

Took this from another thread but does anyone else feel this way too? I'm not exactly thrilled with either t10 bonus and assuming you can get expertise capped without tier legs it'd be better to use the craftable legs. I know it's dependent on your other gear and stats of course but unless our set bonuses get buffed I don't see much of a reason to use 4 piece t10.

I'm sorry if this has already been addressed, but...I was hoping someone could help shed light on the differences of AP and AGI for an enhance shammy, and why AP seems to be the "clear winner" between these two stats, as far as gemming is concerned.

I have a small question. Is (264) [Heartpierce] better than (264) [Rib Spreader] ?


Thank you.

Hello, I use the spreadsheet to itemize my gear and look at the best way to upgrade what I have on a daily basis.

I came into a debate, with BiS ICC 25 Normal gear, which includes 2 pieces of tier, Ribspreader, and SBB (H), I came up with two possible options for legs, and was wondering what others were doing or would choose.

Gangrenous Legs off Festergut brings me purely over the critcap, so I need to gem all my yellow sockets for Rigid King's Amber (20 hit). Leggings of the Broken Beast (H) brings me slightly under the critcap and I wouldn't need to gem for hit whatsoever.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, such as, is it better to stray away from Hit gems/Crit due to RNG, or however you feel.

I pretty much plugged in the best gear I could get, as I only need to upgrade a few more items, which means itemize like TAiaJ is not something I can obtain at the moment.

***Also, please note that the Est. DPS for either Leg piece set up is only a difference of about 12-14 DPS, Gangrenous Leggings being higher, but I'm not quite sure if gemming hit and relying on RNG is worth it.
