So since this thread has no order in it at all, I was wondering if someone could tell me the typical DW rotation for a 0/32/39 build thats used on live. Thanks.

First time poster, long time lurker. I apologize if this has come up in any other thread, but I am trying to find the perfect PvP build for the Arcane/Fire mage.

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
*I apologize edited for correctness

This is my idea for an optimal PvP build. Constructive/Destructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks.

Didnt really thought arms would make it through.
Now I have to slash all my leather-hit gear and get stuff with alot of str/ap/arp/crit/xp.

How much does arp-rating get boosted and the hit-cap rating for 2h is 8% on lvl 83 bosses right?

I didn't read the whole thread, but used the searchfunction without any success, so I ask directly: Is there any possibility to track the damage done in Phase 3? WWS etc don't show it up, so I don't know any possibilty to watch out the "bad dragoncontrollers", who still can not do damage the right way

That build doesnt make much sense in my opinion.
First of all, the question would be what kind of PvP you are referring too. If you just want to have some fun in battlegrounds or want to perform good in Wintergrasp that is a different thing then playing arena. If playing arena is your goal, the question would be in what bracket you plan to fight and if at least one of your partners will be a caster who relies on a hogh crit rating. Only then taking Focus Magic would make much sense for a pvp-spec.

You put one point into Playing with Fire. That is mostly a PvE-Talent and doesnt do much for PvP: The one percent extra damage won't change much in short-timed PvP-battles while you also take one more percent extra damage yourself. If that trade makes sense outside a raid-environment I don't know.

And you did not skill Arcane Fortidude, which surely isn't necessary but might be more important in certain pvp-situations then Arcane Concentration.

Happy to be corrected by others who have a different view on this.

When to stop with haste?

Hi guys, here is my armory:

The World of Warcraft Armory

I've been struggling to reach 1750 closes so far (1746ish) so I've been trying to squeeze some more out of my mage and I am focusing on haste atm.. yesterday I reached 476 (14.52%) haste and am still working on picking up the titan-steel salv helm for 44 more haste the T7 shoulders and the haste back when I reach 1750.. but when should I stop stacking haste? and when should I start swapping back my PvP items / gems for more resil stam etc?

I current have tons of gear knocking around full hateful, deadly chest, T7.5 chest, legs, T7 chest, legs, gloves, all the badge loot and heroic items, all deadly items aside from back. titan-steel boots hit and haste, titan-steel helm hit, WG trinket etc etc

Basically then how much haste is an ideal / perfect amount to have? eg? enough haste to get 2 frostbolt on a deep freeze? enough to get 1.5 FB with IV? I've stacked 476+ haste and I could push it to about 500+ but I'm gradually losing HP, RESIL, SPELLPOWER and CRIT.

I have 0 experience with Simulationcraft so I was wondering if you could run this spec The World of Warcraft Armory
against the standard 0/31/40 spec
The World of Warcraft Armory

Just wanting to see if the 2 points moved are an actual dps increase.

Thanks

Hunter 3.1, which spec will be top dps?

Survival is currently top dps for hunters, will that remain the same in 3.1 or will BM or MM be outputting better dps? Is survival getting nerfed or buffed and by how much. Compared to the other classes i am always in the top 3 of the damage meters as a SV hunter, will I be able to maintain that position in 3.1 or are other dps/caster classes getting buffs that I won't be able to compete with?

I do not know if any of these questions can be answered since 3.1 isn't out, but does anyone plan on making a new thread when 3.1 comes out for the best builds for DPS?

I tried searching the forums for what rotation will be most effective in 3.1 but there is too much information to siphon through.

If there are too many questions here to be answered, please email me at evok99@yahoo.com

Centered around the player unitframe with a minimalistic timer bar which can show me every timer I need in a extremely screen saving format.

If you are interested the timer bar addon is CompactBars : WoWInterface Downloads : Combat Mods.

I find this to be one of the best addons for BG's and Arena. It will announce what was grouned how much dmg was avoided, shields that drop, what spells you EarthShocked ect... Its a must have for Arena.

A 9% greater chance to crit on a spell we only cast when we absolutly have to, brilliant...still won't be able to use it effectively unless you glyph for it thus losing the shiny new living bomb glyph which will lower our dps even further. Which either way is still below a destruction locks dps thus we don't get to spec out of it yay for zero sum?

I entirely agree with you.

What is the list for DoT priority?

When two-three DoTs occasionally tick off at the same time isn't there one you would want to get back up first?
I'm assuming haunt, if it HAPPENS to tick off, though it shouldn't, followed by CoA, Corruption, UA, Immolate, SL? Any thoughts?


Edit: Spelling
I always start out with the following:

SB
Haunt
UA
Immo
CoA
Corr
SL

Then prio is (for me):
Haunt
UA
Immo
CoA
SL

and SB as filler

Corr should stay up due to haunt...

At 25% I stop doing SB and do drain soul and only cast SB if NF procs. I might be off here but it has worked pretty good for me.

you could do proper enchants on your head, shoulders, chest, wrist
check your gems: no need to put crit gems in, when your lacking expertise
swap your weapons: faster one MH in your case, or try do get another fast one for your MH

last, but not least: check the pocket guide for info about gemming, rotation and enchants.

I'm looking for a RaF buddy. You recruit me. In other words, I'll buy the new copy of wow - you get the free month.
I want to play horde, on a PVP or PVE EU realm with a decent faction ratio. You will need to have a lot of time to play the next few days so that we get to 60 asap. Sounds good? PM me.
