On festergut we have a ranged collapse point for the spore, the dark triangle. 2 rows of 4, one in front and one behind it. A long line of 8 ranged creates an awful lot of running and impacts dps too much for a boomkin. I usually pick the middle of the back line where two steps gets me where i need to be to stack which helps on the my dps contribution. In my 10 man i am the ranged collapse point so the only thing impacting me is the puke.
A good raid leader should be trying to maximize his raid classes dps, and just like ret pallys keeping thier stacks up, a boomkin must be allowed to minimize thier movement. All of the ICC fights must be analyzed to best exploit our eclipses cycles because without the 40% damage that it represents, we arn't contributing very much.

I would also suggest that you get your 4p ASAP. The extra DoT is great for movement fights.

Why? It's a buff to Starfire and Wrath. 2T9 and 2T10 are strong in movement situation, but neither 4-piece bonus is.

The int gem is from when I used to main specced Resto, forgot to switch it out. The 3rd purified will be fixed when I grab the t10 chest tonight and the 4th was looking to the future, but was looking too far >.<.

Once again thank you all for the suggestions, I will defiantly try them out asap.

Last night I got the heroic version of Nibelung. After about 15m of testing on the dummy, the Val'kyr were doing about 32k damage per procc, 2k per hit. So the procc seems to do about twice the damage of the normal version.

Do you happen to have the minimum and maximum Smite values (with or without Earth and Moon)?

Also, that's not twice the damage of the normal version. I'd hazard a guess that it's precisely 13% more, in fact.

Surely that can't be right... 32k is almost exactly what I proc of a normal Val'kyr when Earth and Moon is up.

You have to ignore partial resists (or test on an 80 dummy). Normal one does 1591-1785 before E&M and resists, 1688 mean. Heroic probably does 13% more, like I said.

Well, 4set T10 is also a buff to fights where you move for 2-3 seconds when you really have to move, like Festergut and some other bossfights. I know T9 2set bonus is nice for movement fights, but the languish proc is also nice when you have to move for said seconds, cause then the dot will tick for the duration. If you stand still and nuke, chaincrits, then move for two or three seconds, why isn't the 4set T10 a buff for movement fights?

I am not saying it is better than T9 2set bonus, but the 4set T10 bonus is not only a buff to Wrath and Starfire, it helps when you move.

It ticks when you move, but it ticks when you're standing still as well and moving will not build on the DoT like critting will. The DoT is just a fancy way of adding 7% to wrath and starfire crits, when it ticks doesn't change the dps of it at all except in the rare event that a boss dies while you're chain-critting and it's not ticking.

In my opinion, people are putting too much emphasis on the DoT nature of languish. If the T10 bonus just increased the damage of your crits by 7%, there would be no argument about whether or not it was beneficial during movement fights. The damage you see from the languish ticks while you're moving has already been "paid for" when you crit earlier; there is just a delay in the delivery. This is the same mental hangup people have about "stacking the crits" the increase the damage of the languish proc. 1000 damage is 1000 damage. I don't care if I get it instantly, in 2 ticks over 4 seconds, or split up in 10 ticks over 20 seconds. It's the same amount of damage.

The obvious exception is the last languish proc of the fight possibly being wasted, but that's small potatoes.

This is just speculation, but I would imagine Blizzard gave us the languish mechanic instead of the flat "increase SF/wrath crit damage by 7%" because the latter would be boring, and the former seems exciting, even though it's really not.
