Next question, if FTongue can proc lightning capacitor, can it now proc clearcast?

Does this calculation take into account the fact that 66% of shockinators chain lightnings will proc clearcasting? Could be relevant, that in a sustained fight with mana concerns that stopping midcast actually is preferable if it allows you to throw a bigger spell that procs clearcast more often and soak up one tick of the 5 second rule mana regen.

If there are 3 mobs of course.

Not as of last night.

It doesn't no, but I can't think of many mana-taxing fights that have more than one mob next to each other for any length of time; Huntsman maybe and possibly Moroes while you're killing the adds (can be very dangerous with shackled adds however).

Any clue how EF interacts with "on cast" procs? That is will the free spells still trigger things like the restore on spell cast gem or the spellsurge enchant?

Binkenstein · 03/08/07, 7:49 PM

They should still be affected.

the FSR gets triggered when mana is expended, but those procs are triggered on casts.

EF means no mana expendature, but still a "cast" flag to trigger proc effects.

Before the patch, elemental mastery was consumed first and clearcasting remained intact.

I might be asking the obvious but since the talents are worded slightly differently, does FT crits proc Elemental Devastation?

I'm wondering if you guys are using the Stormstrike/Mutilate synergy at all and, if so, how do you coordinate it best? Have a couple Mutilate rogues in my guild though one is respeccing out of it due to not liking its dps. Since he's our most reliable raiding rogue I'd like to entice him back to it.

I have the PowerAura mod show me when Stormstrike is up on a mob. Maybe you could get your Rogue friend the same? The fights where you care most about dps are unlikely to have perfect damage rotations, so it's I don't think it's feasible to set up a static rotation. Other than that... get him to call when he's about to Envenom so you don't ES?
