What would it be like, if Lava Lash was able to be cast on a 2h weapon? Maybe we should ask blizz to put that in for 3.1.. I hear they may take out the 3 sec hidden CD on Windfury, perhaps making it MH/2h only or a proc per minute. How sould lava lash on a 2h go in that situation?

Maybe it could make 2h dps viable again?

if WF was on a ppm, and Lava Lash was on a 2h.. you could get many WFs, usinig Stormstrike and Lava Lash on a very slow 2h, also, Maelstrom weapon iis a ppm ability now, you wouldn't lose Maelstrom procs from using the 2h

•Consumable ammunition has been removed from the game. Arrows and bullets no longer stack, but are not consumed. Ranged attack speed bonus gained from quivers and ammo bags will be preserved in a different capacity.
Sounds like a new excuse to have to grind another rep level probably more
Faction A ammo - 46.5 DPS with 15% haste
Faction B ammo - 67.5 DPS with 10% haste

•A new tier of hunter pet talents have been added. In particular, this allows Beastmaster hunters to improve their damage per second (DPS) with their 51 point talent.
I guess Blizz finally took the hint with the 50/x/x builds. EZ mode just got easier. Pets now do 75% of BM damage... just spam Mend Pet.

•Hunting Party – this talent has been reduced to 3 ranks and also grants a passive bonus to the hunter.
Sounds like a free-bee unless they nerfed it all to hell. No one was buying 5 ranks anyways

•Piercing Shots – this talent has been changed. Your Aimed, Steady and Chimera Shots cause the target to bleed for 10/20/30% of damage dealt for 8 sec.
MM will be the new flavor of the week until the 3.1.1 patch nerfs MM back into oblivion. A new shot rotation that calls for AS to be cast every 8 seconds will revolutionize the way MM are played.

•Sniper Training – this talent has been changed. After standing still for 6 sec, you gain a 2/4/6% damage bonus to Steady, Aimed and Explosive Shot.
Could be very bad for 50% of the fights out there. After standing still for 6 seconds you gain a bonus to your next Steady, Aimed and Explosive Shot? Do you gain an EW-type buff for 8/10 seconds? Best case would probably be gain Aspect of the Sniper that cancells on movement.

•We are also looking to add additional trap functionality to Survival.
With the Sniper change combined with this cryptic hint, it seems like Survival is being pushed towards Trap dancing without the dancing part. Hopefully the "additional trap functionality" will include an increased trigger radius so that traps can actually be used on the larger bosses. A Freezerburn arrow that slows and deals damage would probably be a bit much to hope for (Hey they did it with AotDragonhawk right?) but it'd make PoNE and TM much more attractive.

here goes nothing... again

sorry engineers, thanx for the jumper cables tho... keep up the good work

LoL, seroiussly tho, I might actually consider going BM again, that white Demondog is soo cool looking. J/K. I'm Just hoping this doesn't doesn't bring all of the huntards out of the woodwork.

It'd be sweet to see the hunter lay down in sniper/prone position or something.

Has there been done any theorycrafting on which rune is best? Cinderglacier, Razorice or Fallen Crusader?

Generally, what should the enh shaman attempt to cap/raise first?
Hit, crit, attack power,agility, or expertise?
Ive had many people tell me different things, and seen many people stack all kinds of crap.

Hopefully I'll answer before others can come in here and flame you for asking such a basic question.

Fallen Crusader. Always.

HI Everyone,

I've been playing my rogue for quite some time (few years) and i'd like to make sure that my rogue can be the best she can be.

WoW Armory Link

There's my armory link. Here's a quick history about my rogue. I've always been a fan of fist weapons, for both their look and stats. I've never been a fan of daggers in whatever spec, although in my inventory of weapons I also have Anarchy and The Fleshshaper.

Otherwise my armor is as it is at the moment basically because i've just been unlucky.

At the moment i'm using DP in the OH and WP in my MH. My basic raid rotation is ToT to the tank, garrote and SS to 4 cp/SnD/SS to 4+cp/Rupture/SS to 4+cp/Envenom. I've already gone through the spreadsheet to sort our my gear a little better.

There are few rogues that I can contact on my server to check my enchants, gem usage etc, but i'd like to ask our community to have a look at my spec and suggest anything that I can improve on ?

Thanks so much in advance for your help.

with everyone saying different cycles ive gotten confused, so right now is the best dps cycle AB spam and then mbarr,abarr (only if mbarr procs) at 0 or 3 AB stacks ??

Wow you completely read my mind.

just started my feral tank, RAF'ing him up and was wishing i knew the best druid addons

thx

With each set of patch notes, I want to keep playing my paladin more and more.

I've been frost for a while now, But I can't seem to break 2.6k DPS

The World of Warcraft Armory

That's my armory. I've used MANY builds, but maybe I just need some more direction. Instead of me listening what rotation I use, I'd rather have you guys take a look at my gear, and tell me what kind of frost spec, and rotation, I should be using right now. Just so I can compare and draw my own conclusions.

just to get this out of the way i am relatively new to wow, so i dont understand all of the things posted in here so i have some questions on my route to maximuim raid dps in a 10 man, i am not concerned about the new patch until it happens. i am 0/32/39 was using rotation, ps, it, bs, hb, rp dump, and if in a aoe fight with lots of mobs i woud use it, pest, bs, hb. i have read some new threads on improving that rotation. what i am concerned about is hit rating, on my quest to land howling blast and make sure my oh weapon hits i socketed almost everything with it to get a 260 ish (still not full 10 man naxx gear) is this overkill, i thought i was striving for a 280 number, i was told by a guild member. as is with my rotation, and my gear i have pulled 3200 dps on patchwerk, average for the fight. any pointers or links that wood be useful i uping my dps wood be muchly apreciated.

this is a continuation of my last post a couple hors ago, being i am on break at work i have to go when break is over.
this is going to be quite the noobish question but i need to know and cant find the answer. where do you guys get your information on stats, like the caps of them and what they equate into damage? likeits taken for granted 540 is the cap on def why, how do you know this? not that i am a tank, its just an example, but i did read a thread that said 8% is the most hit rating i want for dw after that its a neglibale gain, what is 8%, 8% of what? also how to tell which stats are better like strenght, vs. ap on an enchant? how can i get the info to actually compare the relative value of say 40 ap vs 16 str? i am looking to boost my dps and know my stats are not optimum, so i am looking at my stats tryn to determine wich to invest in and why. i have had guild mates tell me to invest some in expertise, but from what i have read here on elitist jerks, expertise seems only useful for a. 1v1 mob, b. tanking. and c. pvp, being that it is posted as a relative valuse on whether your hits get dodged or parried, but in raids i am behing the target so i have no need for this stat right? i am willing to listen and try out things, so please let me know what i can do and if my conceptions are wrong.

You might start with reading the forum rules, maybe take a close look at #7.

Then you should read this thread carefully, all you need to know about 2H Frost-DPS has been written here.

I might seem a little biased playing a rogue, but I think the obvious class to give the second heroism to would be the one with no group buffs at all, that is if they do want to dupicate it like most other buffs.
.

i just recently hit 69 on my shaman and i am looking for a cookie cutter enhancement build. previous to this my experience with the class has been mainly elemental/resto. its gonna be a big change i would think and could use some advice on build tactics and general info about enhancement.

Shaman: Enhancement

tried to keep it as clean as possible, inspired by Caithlyns ui wich i belive is the greatest ui designer out there.

Yeah, even with increased use of Ice Lance, frost will still be the most retarded-ly boring of the specs available.

The first intelligent thing written on this forum in months

I'm sorry this may sound a bit noobish but is Rawr an addon spreadsheet or what?

LMAO nice find

Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet here, I'm just going to throw it out there. Armor pen + haste = "potency rating". Whether you buy into it or not is your own prerogative.
