People who can't bother to read even the first post of a thread really shouldn't be here.

Original Post:

Hey there,

I am having a similar problem to what many other people have posted... inferior DPS. Now I know that due to some changes Paladins and DK's are doing an intense amount of damage.

Now I am routinely #3 on DPS (Behind a DK with excellent gear and a paladin with equally amazing gear) in 10-man Naxx. I go nuts during every encounter. I use Tricks of the Trade (on the tank) and immediately pop my AP trink/Blade Flurry macro and use Killing Spree (group pulls only obviously) once Killing Spree stops I pop Fan of Blades and settle onto the tank target. Since these are trash-pulls I cannot get into a proper 5s/5r/5e rotation (Since I am specced into S&D and glyphed on trash I just pop a few CP's of S&D and call it good).

What my issue is is my boss damage. It is usually the same arrangement as my overall. DK on top, Paladin second and myself third. This is with me blowing CD's at appropriate times (TotT on tank, AR/AP trink once initial energy pool expended) and a 5s/5r/5ev rotation. I knew something was wrong when I only got 2300ish on Patchwerk the other night. Deadly MH/WoundOH of course.

I would really appreciate a critique of my gearing choices. Have I prioritized hit over AP too much? My next badge purchase is the Mirror of Truth (I was dumb and got the belt first... I know I am not terribly bright).

Thank you!
