problem wit this kind of stuff if that some ppl plain out suck, so suckackage sint gonna make up for dps ect..

To begin with I understand that the hit rating for elemental is 17%. Ive talked to many of shaman and have read on forums before that shamans should stack to get 14%. Which in turn would mean I stack to 11% hit + 3% from talents = 14%. Because of Shadow Priests and boomkins adding the additional 3%. My issue now is what if in 10 mans I do not have a priest or boomkin? At this point am i supposed to gem hit? Ive personally never heard of gemming for hit, but would that be the case? I obviously am not going to swap gear out and not going to swap my trinkets out because of the substantial loss of haste/sp. So for 10 mans is running with 14% hit going to hurt me and be a huge noticable dps loss or will I be fine? Other wise should I gem hit or possibly just use hit food over a fish feast? Also is using the hit food to gain 17% hit but less sp going to be better dps wise then a fish feast with the 14% hit? I would like some proven answers and soultions please. Any input is also appreciate but if it is not proven and backed up please let me know. Thanks for any input.

You're mistaken. The flat damage reduction only works against players, but no matter how many times players rumor it no longer reduces crit in PvE simply saying it doesn't make it so.

Currently running a 12/0/59 build. My guild is 9/12 ICC25. For my own sake, ran Blood this week. Sat out on Festergut, but here are the WoL from Saurfang/Rotface last week(unholy) and this week(Blood Dark Death).

As for why 12/0/59, Death Coil's our dump, and imo Dark Conviction/Morbidity are meh in the same. So now my death coil and unholy blights are hitting harder. 3% crit is well just that, I really have not noticed a loss of it at all. Switching from 14/0/57 to 12/0/59 my dps has actually gone up. Though it may be my playstyle.

I've been contemplating dropping one of my professions to pick up Engineering for the battle-chicken and other perks. We also don't even have an engineer in the raid for a Jeeves and all that fun stuff. The only thing is though is that I have no idea what to drop in order to pick it up, or should I just not even drop anything for it. So I decided to bring it to the forums to ask. I'm currently Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting.

BS/JC is currently the best professions to have due to the str gain instead of Ap or haste gain. It's your own choice, and not a big dps loss but I would stay with BS/JC.

Is there a post that has what gear, enchants and gems to improve ones haste & haste cap?

I searched more into threads & post, and found many answers. I apologize for any inconvenience or the repeating of what has already been written. i know now to only ask for things that are not posted. Thanks to all for the wonderful information.

Considering this, and i'm still kinda confused about it, is Trauma good for a shamy with 4 pieces of t10? cuz i think is preatty cool but some shaman friends still think is not.

I hope this is the right place to post this.

Anyway, my guild raids with an odd healing comp. We have 3 Resto Shaman, a Disc Priest, A holy pally, and me (a holy Priest).Sometimes a Resto Shaman is subbed out for a Resto Druid and sometimes I'm sat.

Anyway, last night we did the easy bosses in ICC25, and for most of the night I was just horribly horribly out healed on every fight. I know healing meters don't matter, but I'm talking I was out healed by a Disc Priest bad.

The spec I was using last night was-http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bVcbuZrEzcbMqihhcuAo

But then I went over my world of logs (World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis) and saw Flash Heal was my #1 heal by quite a large margin, so I specced into empowered healng (4/5 cuz i ran out of points, I also wanted to max out all the Renew talents)

Granted it was probably inflated a bit because of whatever the healing dragon fight is called (that's why I have 54 greater heals) but yeah.

The problem I was having was just almost every CoH was overheal and PRoM was hardly effective, and by the time PoH went off there had already been 3 Chain Heals bouncing around so my healing was almost all overheal.

I was playing conservatively with mana which is one of my problems, but the healing officer told me that I need to up my healing if I want to keep my spot.

So I just want to know, realistically with the amount of Resto Shaman in the raid, did I just have a really really off night, or was it just pointless to have a Holy priest with 3 resto shaman and a Resto druid all in the raid?

Thanks in advance.

I am a big fan of Ouf layouts. Kreoss your layout really caught my eye. I was wondering if some of the authors here would mind sharing their custom Ouf layouts? I would try to customize my own except I have no coding experience. Thanks in advance.
