Use double solace. Don't use wings with DI.

Hi!

I'm running in to some crit cap issues (according to Aldriana's wonderful spreadsheet) and was wondering the best way to approach this.

Is it better to raise the cap with expertise or hit?

My guild is sponsoring a guild only Naked Run through Wailing Caverns. Which in itself ought to be interesting. However, we can only use gear we find. Which puts me as a hunter at a disadvantage; however, I can use my pet.

The obvious pre-answer is Beast Master. How would I spec as such to do maximum pet dps? Considering I will only be using weapons I find.

For some reason I am unable to see the document. Its acting like the link to it is broken.

To be honest, why would you be in need of such a thread... Reroll Orc and you can skip some of the expertice gems for haste gems, you don't need your own little thread to figure that out... Or as Draenei, gem haste in one of the gem slots instead of a hit gem or something?

Having a thread based on a race which gains nothing at all from racials and such is the best way of doing it, as it is way easier to go from there and figure out what to do then to move backwards if the OP were using an Orc engineer/jc.

This scenario will occur when you get 4t10.. so my question, is glyph of molten armor still better? With 2 or 3 blue gems you will have 219 Spirit selfbuffed - when wearing absolut no spirit item (which is the case for me tomorrow with 4 pc t10)

219
+52 Motw
+80 Priest
+10% kings
-----------
386 Spirit if i didn't forget something

386*0,20 (glyph) means you will get 77,2 Critrating through the glyph

77,2 critrating are 1,67 % Crit.

Seems like with major cooldown stacking this could be? Considering a trinket proc like on [Dislodged Foreign Object] coupled MI, Bloodlust, Black Magic, etc... the 3 seconds of AP may well be worth it at your spirit level. Seems like it would be hard to test. Would you rather get 1.67% crit on all your casts, or get +20% damage tacked onto ~9 casts per fight. Id be willing to bet in a perfect cooldown stacking situation the AP glyph would be better, but hard to say. I'm interested in seeing but don't have the time nor brain power to calculate exact numbers.

Did you check "Use Rotation Test"?

I am. In fact, I'm trying to get two 258 T9 pieces right now to upgrade my existing 245 T9 pieces.

Now with the changes to Improved Shadow Bolt increasing shadow bolt damage more, is it still worth switching to incinerate on above 35% molten core procs?

I got tiny abomination from last week but i only use it for pve because it has a bug that only can proc in 3-5 yrd, and today bz already fix the bug of it, so im wondering that is it better than greatness or greatness is still better than it.

Looking at some of the 3.3.0 numbers for DPET of Incinerate and Shadowbolt, ~7300 and ~5400 respectively, you would need much more than a 5% bonus to shadowbolt in order to reach the DPET of Incinerate.

Hello im just wondering for Prot/Ret would the new Ashen Str ring would be worth using as Prot/Ret?

Thank you.

SoC is the best seal for multiple mobs due to the cleave effect. On trash in heroics (and ICC for that matter) that is all I use since it really increases DPS. For single target fights SoV is best as long as the mob lives more than ~15 seconds.

What is your basis for thinking SoC is a bad seal to use? Maybe you just haven't been keeping up with the many changes to our seals over the past 6+ months.

My initial guess is that AH will be completly run by goldseller companies if this goes through. This is already a huge growing problem and my fear is that it will be impossible to compete in the AH game w/o this "extra feature". Have to pay a bit of wait and see until exact details come out though but my initial thoughts are nothing but negative.
