So I have been seeing more and more combat rogues going either webbed death/hail storm or hailstorm/webbed death.

Whaaa? they going for just white and poison dmg? Most are using deadly/instant. I don't get it?

Anyone know why this is? the poison and white dps out dmg slower higher dmg main hand?

Hey guys,


I'm the raid leader of my guild and am curious about the DPS of a rogue we have. It seems like he's doing far less than he should be, and we only have one rogue that raids with us so there's nothing to compare it with.

He's in his PvP gear at the moment, but his spec is the same. As you can see from the WWS, he's outdpsed by our Prot Paladin main tank. Is there something he's doing wrong in the abilities he uses, is it his spec, or what's going on? Thanks in advance for the help!

You both beat me to it. I had a very lovely post with all kinds of math ready to explain this crap when I refreshed and saw your posts. This is what I love about these forums.

guys i have question about armor penetration. is it effective? i have 22.21% is it enought ?

Huh? I certainly wasn't whining, just making an observation about the hubbub of changes on PTR (and the discrepancies between the patches and patch notes). I enjoy the discussions about build adjustments and think it's somewhat exciting to see trees shaken up this much.

I'm pretty sure nobody in this thread has done anything close to what you bitched about. Not sure what you're crusading for.

i am new to arcane i was frost fire previously. i have read alot of the forums and have found out that arcane has been nerfed in 3.0.9. the glyph of arcane blast is broken, and the dmg coefficient on arcane barrage was drastically reduced.

i have a few questions...

1. what are good stats to stack as an arcane mage?
im at about 590 haste, 1900 spell power, and 21% crit.

2. how do i avoid going OOM while still maintaining high dps?
there are many helpful forums that give their suggestions on rotations,
but i have found the actual damage i do when using these rotations to be less than
what the forums claim. the only way im holding down 5500 dps is by spamming arcane blast
until arcane missiles proc then casting that. doing this i am OOM in 20 secs.

3. is there hope for arcane mages in 3.1?
as the arcane spec stands now frostfire is far superior. frost fire does about equal damage to a single target, while maintaining aoe dmg and a damage over time caused by the crit from frost fire bolt and pyroblast. unfortunately arcane cant even compete.

I like playing arcane, i was frost for soo long, and have had my fill of frost fire. please respond with any help, advice or inside knowledge or arcanes hidden potential. my arcane mage is oneleftout look him up if it helps.

Yeah that's a great of putting things. There's no doubt that my dps has gone up. I guess it comes down to which playstyle I prefer.

 

edisphinx

scorpy

i have 2251 SP self buffed 15.86% hit 13% crit 11% haste and ma build is 54/0/17 i hardly get 3.1k in OD 3D and other hybird lock in same grp gets 3.3-3.6k dps and i always keep up ma dots.. For rotation SB UA Imo CoA Corr SL. can u help me in here and what am doing wrong or build wrong ? plz assisst

Did they remove T.N.T refreshing Immolation trap? I guess that's why using it in the spreadsheet as constantly there doesn't work at all.

That's pretty frustrating. It not only makes Trap Mastery completely useless again, but it also nerfs Lock n Load since you can't even guarantee a proc with immolation any more, and it was never that great without trap dancing anyway.

I'll reword this to make it a bit clearer.

If I make the shot rotation, pet, glyphs, etc all the same as they are pre-3.1, I lose about 500 DPS in this spreadsheet.

Anyone else seeing the same thing? I must have missed something somewhere.

 

Doozel

how are the DW 1h builds looking? is there a benefit to speccing that way with the TG nerf?

Awsome Thanks!!!!

I noticed something interesting when I was doing H AN earlier, and I decided to test it. Apparently, if you us a cancelaura macro during the cast of a Holy Light, then the Holy Light goes off at full strength. For instance, i was using:

#showtooltip Holy Shock
/cancelaura Divine Plea
/cast Holy Shock

To get an emergency HS in during Divine Plea. But apparently, if there's an emergency during Divine Plea, then we can get off a HL cast that divine plea ticks during, as well as the HS. I don't think it's really gamebreaking or anything, but I hadn't seen this before, so I decide to post it.

I forgot to turn off titles and guild names. Runes appear just under the player frame, can see them faded out.

I wasn't sure which forum to post this question, and I might have been listed before, but, I'm curious. Out of all the spreadsheets, which do most people believe is the most accurate in terms of comparing dps? I personally know of 3 that I use, but I get different results. They are:

1. Rawr
2. Theory Craft-o-Matic
3. Magegraf

I see mainly rawr listed with even it's own post, so is it safe to assume the answer is Rawr? I like rawr, with exception to it's gem options. Also, are there any other good spreadsheets that you'd recommend that I haven't listed?

 

darthdusty

Seems like i'm in a similar situation as you. I have good gear, do the rotation everyone says is best, try to keep my hit and exp capped, but am i missing something? One bad thing i know of is my comp isn't the greatest but how much do you think that affects me? I'm probably just a noob but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Finally! I will have the perfect title! Bwahahahaha!

Those who were missing a few candies from Be Mine!, it's time for rejoicing, I was missing 2 and was awarded "the Love Fool" on PTR.
If this is intended or not remains to be seen.

Fans glory to the Gladiators,
Gods glory to the Heroes.

I have been using this spec in PTR and it works great.

My rotation goes like so,

PS-IT-BS-BS-SS-DC
SS-SS-SS-DC-DC-REPEAT

Anyone? would really appreciate some opinions/feedback here.

Cue a bunch of shamans complaining about how they need a buff now.

I vote they build in the astral recall glyph into the ability QQ
