i would like to add another reason why 10 stats is better. +10 int helps on general vexax hard mode where you can't regen mana. you actually need a good mana pool and int is the perfect stat for that

on hodir, just before flash freeze, if you are standing in a light beam, use portal there and teleport back after you are done on the flash freeze. it helped me a lot to do the hard mode

what pet do you think it is the best to use @ Mimiron?
i have tried with felguard and imp, but both ended up dying because of all the damage around. sometimes it is really hard to focus keeping them alive while doing all the rest of things.
what do you think?

I have just recently switched to combat sword specc (I know its not the best) but i am just curious as to if wound poison/wound poison is still the optimal poisons to use for combat sword specc as of 3.1. Any information would greatly be appreciated.

Originally ~50s each, I see them going for 3-5g these days. Understandably, they seem to be in quite low supply aswell; I only managed to bag one stack prior to 3.1 buying singles and doubles.

at 50s each you should just buy them and vendor them, they sell for 1g each iirc
i hope to get that pattern soon though i've got a LOT of leather stored up between my storage banks

Curiosity...
I've been following this thread for some time trying to figure out which direction to send my gear. I currently and reading that agility is yielding a higher dps output than raw AP as far as gemming is concerned. Based on what I'm seeing here, I was wondering if anyone could take a look at where I've started gearing my hunter.
The World of Warcraft Armory
At the moment, I personally feel like armor pen is really the way to go, and the difference is notable, especially when trinket procs are up. Anwyay, let me know what you think and toss out some suggestions if you would. I generally spend most fights hovering in the top 3 or 4 on meters but I feel like I should be pushing more...

I've noticed that agility seems to outweigh expertise even under the cap of 214. Is this a mistake or should I not try to reach the expertise cap as mutilate now. I've always read that it is imperative to reach the expertise cap as mutilate. Also I was wondering if it is better to go 3/3 TtT 3/3 MP or 2 MP 1 TtT. I've seen many different opinions, the spreadsheet favours 2/1, I'd like someone's opinion if possible. Thanks.

The updated sacrifice in 3.1.2 will make the VW even more attractive as a PvP companion.
"Sacrifice (Voidwalker) redesigned: Sacrifices a portion of the Voidwalker's health, giving its master a shield that will absorb X damage for 30 seconds. While the shield holds, spell casting will not be interrupted by damage. 1-minute cooldown."
It'll be interesting to see how much a 'portion' is, and what the value of 'X' is - but that's a pretty nice thing to have on a reasonable cooldown.

Your priority should be roughly:
Lightning Bolt (if you have 4-5 charges of Maelstrom Weapon)
Earth Shock
Stormstrike
Refresh Magma Totem if needed
Refresh Lightning Shield if needed
Lava Lash
You should be dropping Strength of Earth, Windfury, and Magma Totem.
Don't bother with Chain Lightning unless there's nearby adds or you are on a trash pack though, it will drain your mana too fast to actually be a DPS gain. It is critical to hit your regular Lightning Bolt as soon as possible after getting 5 charges of Maelstrom Weapon. Get a mod such as ShockAndAwe to help with that if you need it.
Also, your gear has a lot of room for improvement. If you are pulling that DPS in a 10-man or 5-man, then it's not so bad and mainly you just need to gear up.

I love this feature. It's practically like breezing through the first part of the game just to get to end-game content.

In season 5 i had a dk/holy pally/feral druid 3's team and we rarely lost.
Seemed to be a sweet setup, we got from 1500 -> 1750 in about an hour or so.

I use this in conjunction with Badkitty and it really helps out a lot by really managing all your cooldowns/debuffs/buffs that you have up on your target or for yourself. They definitely helped me maximize my DPS.

well at the moment Sacrifice is 10855 absorb with Demonic Brutality and void is little above 27k HP so as much as I'd like to stay this way, it will be nurfed to something like 7-8k absorb.
My logic is based on the fact that glyphed stoneclaw totem absorbs 4340 dmg on 30s cd, but I haven't considered the damage reduction on the shaman side.

I'd also like to add that Lightning Bolt will do more damage than Chain Lightning in a single-target situation due to it receiving a higher percentage of your spell power.
