Judging from the numbers tonight, clipping is DEFINITELY hotfixed. Surprisingly, it took under a week for the little whining fucking retadins and warriors in arena to get that pushed through. If only we could get Rolling ignites correct with such quickness.

currently, arcane blast glyph isn't working at all. I got the same damage on arcane missile with and without the glyph (both at 3 stacks of arcane blast debuff).

MM Spec

Hi folks!

I'm new as a MM hunter and read allmost all the spec posted beforehand.
Due to my style of playing the game i came up with this sepc:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

my question now is, should i reteat the imp. tracking and Survival Instincts to adress them in the BM tress for unleashed fury or not?

Are any other talents you would change in the process?

Thank for any help here folks!

As far as I know, the issue with crypt fever and similar buffs from other classes should've been fixed with 3.0.8 (apparently isn't) ... just redid the testline and apparently there was someone eventough i can't recall...

Nvm. then.

This is what they need to do to fix arcane for both PvE and PvP:

Arcane Barrage cooldown increased to 6 seconds
Arcane Blast glyph changed to Arcane Barrage glyph

Glyph of Arcane Barrage - Arcane Barrage causes the Arcane Fury buff, increases the critical strike chance of all spells on the target by 10%, this affect lasts 10 seconds.

I may have read this somewhere before, but I can no longer find it.

My rogue is about to hit 80, and I want him in 25man action ASAP. I bought him 2 x Librarian daggers, and merely put 50AP on each, I'm cheap >.>

I was wondering which spec and poison setup would be best for a new 80 rogue in a 25man raid situation?

I've looked in the SV forums, especially the first page, and did not see any exact no.s there. I dare not post there since these questions are probably considered amateur. Thanks.
Did you try the search before you posted this question??

If you looked around you would know the answer to this. The best possible DPS thread shows the Raptor out doing cat.

Hey there, I'm new to Frost DPS. I've been Unholy for awhile, I'm wondering which spec is the best Raid DPS? 21/50, 27/44, or 17/54?

Go back to the beginning of the thread.

Read it all the way through.

Do the work, don't ask others to do it for you.

I finished dps race at 1st place with 5782 dps --> WWS

Some people might say its nice score, but i am little disappointed . I was hoping for 6300 maybe 6500
Before 3.0.8 in BM 50/21/0 build i had 5950dps (scorpion pet ) but then i was using Wraith Spear instead of Journey's End.
Just day before patch release we were doing another naxx run and i made 5350 dps with 6/14/51 build.

Obviously i still miss some gear, need to change Mirror of Truth to something better, i try get Darkmoon Card: Greatness or Fury of the Five Flights, and then we will see
Thats pretty awsome, i'd love to find out where im going wrong, ive read every post in this thread/hunter forum countless times, i like to push the class to the absolute limit, i run 2/18/51 with a raptor pet (thru some various raid environment tests and get a 15-30 ish dps increase) i don't trap dance due to trying to stay out of the 30 yard range for Sniper Training benefits on fights that permit using the throw tooltip like mentioned in a previous post (great idea btw) i was 0.73 below the hit cap but recently (monday) after downing Sarth 3D got the 230 needed (Draenei Racial). My usual attack rotation is ES>AimS>SrS>SS>ES>SS>SS since im not soft haste capped and can't fit 3 SS within one cd of ES, unless rapid is up or Imp aspect, LnL proc is usually ES>AimS>ES>SS>ES, my gear isn't BiS i know but i feel i could do better with what i have and not be so far behind the rest of my guild! WWS stats from Monday would apreciate some help on anyway to increase my dps, ive not had time yet to set up my stuff on Shandaras WotLK Spreadsheet, any help on where i may be going wrong would be much apreciated! maybe the WWS i linked might not be a good fight to judge my curent dps on but its the most recent one i have for afew days my pet was alive pretty much thru every attempt here is another WWS from last Naxx raid my gear is alittle worse then the Sarth 3D, Thanks again!

What I could use...

I may get chewed up and spit out for suggesting this-but how about a glyph that reduced the cost of Mutilate. It is the most expensive rogue ability out there. In a world where energy is translated into dps this could help us compare better to mages and hunters. I'm not asking for a 20 point reduction to te cost, but possibly 5 or 10-something to make the cost a little less steep.
Expose armor is a fantastic abitily that is always underutilized by rogues. It adds dps for everyone in the entire raid and helps to down boss' faster. The 5 combo-point expense is far to great for rogues when trying to refresh slice and dice while recieving maximum value from relentless strikes. We have to admit that we are involved in a dps contest. What other class would spend their dps to make others look better? You tell me. There is no recount stat for "player that helped others the most". I want to waste everyone in dps adn I work damn hard to do so. I fight alongside plate wearers where dots kill me in mere seconds. I have to be crafty to stay alive. I don't get to stay ou tof range and my attacks don't automatically target whatever it is I am fighting. A little love for us rogues please.

Depends on your server and how fast you want to do it. I went through about 3000g to power level my JC in a few days (obviously I don't have mining or a miner alt).

Hi fellows,

I do not include/understand the advantage of choosing a 17/54/00 instead of one 21/50/00. Where are the pure dps abitlities included in the four extra-points after the 50 points stage in frost ? Especially when we know all Rune tap to be very usefull on encounters as Sartha3D ? The 2 expertise and 2% of strenght and stamina are more profitable than the pvp oriented 5 extra frost points imho.

Ty for reading me.

(Sorry for my holy crap English)

Explosive Shot

Best rotation for ES on lock and load procs would be to time them one after another and not clip. You have to wait .5 seconds after the GCD to fire to not clip. Creates more dps during the proc. Also a great Idea would be to macro your Kill shot and your Explosive shot together. They will line up every thirty seconds maximizing both shots potential in your rotation. Make sure that Kill shot is first in the macro though, or the shots won't go off.

Any ideas on what I could do to my gear and spec to maybe maximize my dps a little more The World of Warcraft Armory

I spent around 3000 gold just to get up to 375, now Kazzak is a pretty expansive server. So if you want to get all the way up to 450 I'd say around 6000 gold.

But it totally depends on your server of course, but be prepared to spend A LOT of gold. I wouldn't be lying to say JC is probably the most expansive profession in the game to level.

Enchanting is worse.

If you are going for just the JC only gems you don't even have to max it. They lowered the requirement to 350 so it is even easier to do.
