It's an Arcane talent, in the Arcane tree, whose tooltip says "Arcane spells". So no, it does not apply to anything but Arcane spells.

AP is the BM hunter's choice of gemming.

To add to the (correct) explanation, and alternatively, the frost hit talent affects all spell schools.

Dear Paladins,

I have a rather 'simple' question for ye'all today. Unbuffed I'm having 3633 AP, as you can also see on my armory, in my retribution off-spec. I do not find my gear that worthless but as I look up other armory pages I see lots of 5000 AP~ unbuffed Paladins! For the first time I'm going to ToC as a DPS (I normally heal everything) and I was wondering if my 3633 unbuffed AP was able to handle it. Do ye'all think I'd be able to pull off at least 3,500 DPS raid buffed ;-)? I've never DPS'd before, did some readings beforehand, and I don't want to completely fail there.. Since I was only able to pull off 3,300 DPS on a dummy..

WoW-Heroes.com says I can do it, do you think I can?

Thanks in advance.

Yours sincerely,

Cicil.

PS: I'll be buying the [Conqueror's Aegis Battleplate] today and the [Furious Gladiator's Scaled Helm] on Wednesday. Both will be gemmed with +20 STR gems and the +21 AGI / 3% Crit Meta gem.

Thank you!

How much arpen will i need for ruptureless combat?

 

Cromedan

Well im kinda new for cat dps, most of the time im restoration, then i would like to know

Right now i dont have a hit cap, and i m using [Pyrite Infuser], becuase of this i was planning to replace it for a badge(emblem) one but i dont know wich one to take, the haste or the ap one

[Shard of the Crystal Heart] or [Mark of Supremacy]

i have never tested the up time of pyrite infuse
taking it as a always proc out of CD it would be a 10s under a 45s = 0.22
and the other trinkets would be at 20 under 120(2min) = 0.167

thx

I've been raiding as moonkin for sometime and used 2pcs of T8 set (hands+legs). Should I consider upgrading them to 2pcs of T9 (lvl232)? Is the 2pcs of T9 must have? I've got the lvl245 idol. This is my big question now. I've enough emblems to do this.

I don't think I will be getting any Trophys soon, since moonkin is not my main spec and I've had horrible luck with Trophys for sometime. It would take a lot of time for me to get 2 Trophys.

I've got normal LVL245 head (ony25) and chest (toc25), also LV232 shoulders (toc10). Should I consider switching these to T9 lvl232 so I'd get 2 x T8 + 2 X t9? My other armor gear is lvl219-245. I don't have that good trinkets, but neck/rings are quite ok.

I've got 5pcs of T8 (T8 - T8.5) so I can switch them rather easy, but I'd loose a lot of haste/spellpower/hit rating by using them.

i go into heroics healing as a druid resto and get caught up healing the tank and the whole group. is this normal or should there be an off healer for the rest of the group? I do pretty good in healing however i cannot concentrate on thehole party and get failing the tank.

 

rbryinc

Hi, I hope this is where to post this, if not I am sorry. I have posted the link to my armory and my question is if anyone can tell me why I am still only doing about 3.8 DPS. With this gear is that about right or am I doing something very wrong, thanks.

[Elemental] WWS & Gearing help thread- http://elitistjerks.com/f79/t40634-elemental_wws_gearing_help_thread/

(No I'm not great at coding and such >.>)

Head on over to that, but at a glance...You are about 160 points over hit cap, half of your gear is healer gear (see mp5) which explains why your haste is so low. You use the wrong totem too, get electrifying wind ASAP. You don't have glyph of lightning bolt, replace it for lava ASAP. Other than that just try to replace all of your mp5 gear and poor trinkets. Also you didn't list a rotation, but here is the one you should be able to follow:

Flame Shock-->Lava Burst-->Chain Lightning

From there, use Lightbolt in between Chain Lightnings and Lava Bursts, and keep Flame Shock up without losing more than the final tick if you can help it. Edit: Use Thunderstorm every CD, or as you find necessary. And glyph it, or your tanks will hate you

 

Dioneirra

The times of heaving a healer for the tank(s) and another one for the rest are a thing of a nearly forgotten past, back then when Stratholme, Scholomance and the like were being visited by 10 player 'raids'. Today, you are indeed expected to soloheal your whole group in heroic, something that is usually no big deal anymore.

Taking a quick look at your armory profile, you really should invest some time in reading up how to choose your talents, equip and most likely also base principles of healing as a druid. Anything more as an advise right now would be quite useless, because the described problems could just be related to your missing background as experienced resto player. If your problems persist after fixing the most serious problems, you can always ask for more help i suppose.

 

Grymoire

Trinket needs to be replaced fast, both Sundial of Exile and Abssal Rune are easily get hold of, get that pair for now.

Nice neck but wrong gem, spirit does nothing for us, either just put a 23sp gem on there, if you need a blue for meta, both the mp5 or stam would have do you better.

Head: Meta gem, the Crit+crit damage meta gem has been said many times is the best meta for ele, so try replace with that. And you are already WAY over hit cap, so no point in gemming for hit gem on your head, replace it with sp+haste gem instead.

We scale better with haste than crit, so replace your sp+crit gem with sp+haste gem instead.

Your haste is way too low for the gear level you are on, but with those changes it should bring your haste and dps up by a good portion.

 

bodvarbjarki

Bored with typhoon? What the hell does that even mean?

 

Ericmelvin

Only use that setting when you are ArP capped. In the majority of cases it should be set to "No".

 

Mnemonicabyss

Now do you mean ArP soft cap? I'm still unsure as to what the point of this option is since at ArP softcap agility surpasses ArP anyway.

For example right now, im slightly overcap on my sheet with about 730 ArP and agility is roughly 43-44dps per 20agi gem. Meanwhile ArP has dropped to probably around 30-35 due to breaking the soft cap.

Will enabling 'use ArP value for agi' further increase the value of agi?

*edit*
-Just realised Aldriana's post above, i'm clear on this now, thanks.

 

jackinthebox

hey i'm sure it's posted somewhere but i haven't been able to find it, is it better to go with the 21 crit or 21 agi meta, assuming that you put your 10 str 15 stam gem in a socket with 6 str, which would give you 16 str rather than a straight up 20 str, is 21 agi and 4 more str worth taking over the 21 crit from the other meta?

I have a bit of a problem that im wondering if you people might be able to help me get to the bottom with.

There's parses from Beasts from two resets, im curious how my DPS can fluctuate so heavily from one week to another, it doesnt really make sense to me, so any tips or advice you people would have to share would be greatly appreciated.

Gear scaling-wise, which spec is theoretically the best to enter endgame with?

 

keebz

If you have a yellow gem slot somewhere in your gear, then pop a Fierce Ametrine (+10 Strength / +10 Haste Rating). You also obviously have at least 1 red gem in the form of +20 strength somewhere in your gear, so that leaves you with the final requirement for the +21 Agility meta-gem, which is 1 blue gem. You can fulfill this requirement simply by using a Nightmare Tear prismatic gem. This is better as you will benefit from the +10 Haste and +10 to all stats more than 2 +15 stamina gems (you should have plenty of health from your gear alone, especially if you are at the point where you are considering a +21 Agility meta-gem).

If you come across another blue slot, you can either put in a +20 strength gem and avoid the slot bonus (especially if its not a +str bonus). You can also pop a +10 str +15 stamina, but the stamina won't help your DPS (you'd need 2 of those to equal 1 bold cardinal ruby [+20 str]).

 

ricefrog74

Jackinthebox is correct. Assuming you have at least 2 blue sockets (ie: T9 Chest and Weapon) which yields at least 3str, the 10str/15stam with the 21crit meta is better than the 21agi meta.

Hey guys, first time I've posted on the forums, but been reading for a while. I'm a blood DK dps spec, and I miss dual wielding. I haven't found a spec where the gear I have will let me do the 3.5k I can do in 2-h blood spec. Anyway... I was messing around with dual wielding yesterday, and made this spec. On heroic training dummies, I usually do about 3k dps, and I did 2.8 with this spec using the Horseman's Baleful Blade and Torment of the banished. If someone could help maybe come up with a rotation, or make this spec better, I'd appreciate it. The World of Warcraft Armory

Hi, I've been trying to increase my DPS in raids, and I've hit a bit of a wall.

First off, I'd like to know which is more useful to stack as a hunter; Crit rating, haste, or hit rating?

Also, I was curious to know which is better, two one-handed weapons, or one two-handed weapon?

Rupture-less

Im at 4728 Gscore 3513 AP, 232 hit, 31.50 Crit and 26 expertise. I have 423 ARPen non gemmed.

Should I try Rupture-less build and if so does it mess up the clear casting from the t9 set bonus.
