Thanks for the clarification Wogue

help for combat daggers
Combat daggers is lagging way behind other builds. Mainly due to positioning, and the fact that most encounters dont allow you to be behind the boss 100% of the time. Bosses like Thadius , for instance, you're the same charge as the tank and now your forced to use sinister strike to build combo's. Lets face it, SS with a dagger is basicly futile. Durring that time the average combat dagger rogue see's a major drop in dps/damage, untill he can get behind the target once again , backstabing. My thought was to add a talent , deep enough in the combat tree to avoid PVP use, that gives say 10/20 % more damage on SS with a dagger equipped in the MH . SS with a dagger still wouldnt be as powerfull as backstab, but atleast it would close the gap up a bit when a combat dagger rogue is forced into a frontal attack position.
Again , this was just a random idea, any other thoughts on this ?

I am wondering which of those items has the best ratio of materials needed to create it and what you get when disenchanting it, rather creating a rare lvl 75 item vs the lvl 73 one.

Hi guys, I've read a part of this topic, trying to understand how the patch will affect rogues pve dps with talents and glyphs.
Do someone has any suggestion on spec (expecially for assassination builds, but also for combat) and on glyph's set up for the incoming 3.1 patch?
For example, I think that the new "Master poisoner" and the new "Lightining reflex" can change the (optimal since 3.1) 51/13/7 spec, with combat I think we will have no problems, will be enougth using 3/3 Lightining reflex instead of endurace, improved sprint or improved kick.
Another great change will come from glyphs I think: assassination build will probably gain the glyph of mutilate and of hbf, and for combat they will add the killing spree's glyph right? And also blizz will add the fan of knives glyph...
What do you think about it? Whitch do you think will be the best spec/glyphs configuration for pve dps?
Thank you guys, bye.

Anyone who has used squak and awe, disqodice, have seen the potential in a system to queue you into what spell you should be casting in a priority based cast system. Makes it much easier to juggle fluid rotations.

I have always joked about smite-bots, and have been know to do my fair share of dps whilst healing on my priest. So finally I have decided to take the plunge. I finally thought to give it a try because of all my constant swapping back and forth between shadow and holy has made my gear a mish-mash of both. (pre-wrath it was my understanding that +dmg and mp5 on gear were the road blocks).
These are the specs i'm tossing around, haven't been able to test them yet to see how they fair and which is essentially superior.
Spec1: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Spec2: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
my armory for lulz: The World of Warcraft Armory
Spec two would incorperate more shadow dmg with tossing SW:P and sw  into the mix. I haven't actually come upon a rotation for either, though I think the second would be the same as the old standard HF > SW:P > Smite > SW  > smite > smite ..... and working devouring plague in there somewhere aswell.

I leveled up enchanting today to 410 to get the 19 SP to rings. As I hit about 375 the thoguht of the epic gems did cross my mind, which made me think that if Blizzard doesn't buff enchants and other professions else then a JC/BS would be the way to go. However, even if they don't buff the other professions, the difference should only be maybe 12 spell power (assuming 25 spellpower gems), and only a gain of 8 spell power with blacksmithing if they go with 23 spell power gems? That is jsut my estimate right now. Personally I don't think it will make too much of a difference as to whether enchanting or blacksmithing paired with jewelcrafting is better except in the wallet. I think blacksmiths can edge out enchanting at being able to make a little more money with less effort.

Well I am a new 80 DK
I decided that I wanted to go unholy for DPS. After reading and talking to many people on spec and gear I finally got into some decent pre raid gear... its still coming along but its okay. And I used the spec given in this thread.. I am using the standard rotation
PS-IT-BS-BS-SS-Dump
SS-SS-SS-Dumb
using IT, SS, and ghoul gylphs along with Horn of winter, raise dead, and pestilence.
if you want to armory me to find more info on gear and what not search MoonieDk on gorg.
on the boss dummy I cant even break 2k dps.... I have no idea why.
my questions are..
What presence should I be in?
Should I use a different rotation?
and any other ideas for a newer DK
Thanks in advance
-Moonie

If you have taken a couple of minutes to read the last few pages you would have realised that this is no place for basic questions. If you need help with basic thing, since you are a new dk, try here: Death Knight: Simple Questions/Simple Answers , you will have more luck there.

I would still use Mark of the War Prisoner, as assuming its on use is worth ~30 spellpower less than the Forge Ember's procc then its still a pretty good deal. Thats without going into the various pros and cons of on-use vs. procc trinkets.
The gain would be minimal. You would probably get more of a stat boost by simply rearranging your gems so you are hitting a better socket bonus than the dreadful one on the T7 chest, and you aren't 11 points over the hit cap.

:P i didint gem the chest to get the socket bonus, it just kinda ended up that way when i was looking for something i could put my 27 hit gem into that i wouldn't replace for a long time. thanks for your response  i'll shoot for the war prisoner... i actually had the trinket a few months ago but vendored it =/ not sure why.

Now that we are getting close to the release of 3.1 (assuming that it will be release on the 14th of april), whats the conclusion of all the data gathered so far?
1. Best Combat spec (with best glyphs)?
2. Best Mutilate spec (with glyphs)?
Of course its hard to say what are the BiS items as we still have around 50% of the loot not listed so no point in asking for BiS items for the both specs.
Thank you!

Hi,
did anyone already do some maths on the EP-Values regarding patch 3.1?
Since haste and armor pen rating gets buffed, it would be nice to know if there are some items, which get way better then they are at the moment, e.g. [Boots of the Great Construct] vs [Boots of the Renewed Flight]
Greetings,
Janathema

In the last few hours I read post here and there on this site, but I wonder if anyone can put together the calcs to understand which way go when 3.1 comes live.
Personally I tryed all 3 specs and I like them all.
Every tree has pro and cons, so for me has no importance going blood, frost or unholy.
The target is max my dps in raid, but maybe is too early to say wich template will be better for dps?
Thanks,
|

I'm sorry if this has been answered, I didn't see it, but in reference to the meta builds:
Why immolate glyph over metamorphosis glyph? When I run sims the meta glyph wins out by about 80dps or so consistently. Is it counting the second cast of immolation as a full 15 second duration and thats why I am getting inflated numbers, or does it actually win out?
