Curious--I didn't check the code when I claimed it hasn't been updated, when it apparently has. Why I claimed that, though, was that yesterday, and even now (r54414.10) hitting a mob for 1000 melee damage causes Omen to display 850 threat, at least on my system. That should be only 700, right?

edit: the version check is the culprit, and the bug is still live. Specifically, self.IsTwoPointThree does not return true at the moment, so we are getting too much threat displayed on Omen. If it doesn't get fixed by your raid today, you can change the line quoted above to

I decided to quit a few weeks since, and until I accidently clicked on this bookmark had completely forgot about patch 2.3

Just wondering how it all turned out with the shaman changes? I have only seen 1 link to a WWS by someone with similar gear to what I had, (shabadu) can anyone else link some please, still interested in what sort of differences there are between pre 2.3 and post 2.3

The reason you are seeing an increase in Searing Totem DPS is the new AP -> spell damage talent in enhancement. In my current AP gear I have just under 500 +Spell damage... An increase of.... 500? I wonder if the temporary AP increase WF applies to the paper doll affects your spell damage for a split second? I wonder if you fluked out you could get an ES for 2300+ with the right conditions in T5 equivalent gear.

WTF you must be kidding me

Wow Web Stats . Planning on return with Sunwell Plateau, Stigmata?

Anyway, I have to agree with what's been already said here - no need to hold back due to threat, more damage, better on the spot heals, Shamanistic rage acting as a Diet Shield wall, close to none manaproblems, I consider this patch nice early Christmas present.

WWS

I know, such a crime.

If I had known about the omen thing I could of gone a lot harder on Teron instad of constantly twisting TA/WF, at times even backing away. >_>

This week is attunement week for us, so thankfully I have WWS parses from pre2.3 of the same bosses.
Also, before 2.3, I was a habitual totem twister with medium to low earth shock usage.
I've since honed my twisting skills and with 2.3 I use a ton of earth shock while still twisting to nearly 100% uptime of WF. I've not found an addon that counts debuffs on bosses, so I've not used flame shock all too often, fearing that I'd knock tongues off or something drastic.

2.2 _ the bladefist+merci glad axe, leatherboots from kara, no t5 4piece bonus, no band of devastation

2.3_ syphon+syphon

i interrupted priest on FL (so just look at my damage against Karathress himself)
On Vashj, i got the first two charges, so I did nearly zero damage in phase1.

Wow, i wish i could just delete this post. I was merely trying to put up what could be useful WWS information and it turns out that I did substantially less damage in 2.3 than in 2.2. Of course Leotheras is a terrible example to use, but Karathress and Vashj aren't shining examples of melee not influenced by randomness either. All in all, my data more or less just shows that in SSC, it doesn't matter what gear I'm wearing or what changes Blizzard does to my talents. The less than melee friendliness of the area counters any gearing decisions I could make. Hopefully keying is done and on Sunday or Monday, i can look through WWS of tier6 content and have some real results for folks, which I'll do some math on first, before wasting a post.

Edit: Silly me, I respecced resto for some arena... But I know what your gear was like, I'm about at the same level now. (T6 helm, gloves and shoulders, midnight chestguard, bracers and neck from anetheron, cloak of darkness, DS + Syphon, Stonebreakers totem, Belt of One-Hundred Deaths, Bow-Stitched leggings, Soft-Step boots from Teron, exalted hyjal ring and unstoppable aggressor, DST + Ashtongue trinket)

Major Flurry Bug:

Just read it here and now tested it myself. If you have only one flurry charge left, you wont proc flurry with the next critical hit.

Thank you so much for this information, Last night during ZA I was completely confused when I went over our tanks and didn't pull.
We didn't bring a paladin, No salvation for the night.
