I bought a second set of items from the vendor (from the points you get from killing raid bosses, can't rememder the english designation) to reforge out of expertise into haste/masteyr for the madness of deathwing encounter. Would this be a profit for Ultraxion as well (is he unable to doge?)?

Ultraxion can still dodge, it's just parry that's off the table (to simulate standing behind him). This is explicitly stated in the tool-tip by the way.

Looking at these two logs: World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis and World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis ...

What happened between those? In the better one Im using normal no'kaled and in the worse Im using tier2 daggers. Are they that much worse or am I missing something here?

Did you check your buffs gained?

Did you have the 20% AP buff in the first fight? Were Synapse springs significantly more active (edit: the better) fight?

Offsetting that, did you use two potions the second fight?

You're missing plenty, because they're not nearly 7k dps worse. I did 1400 more dps with daggers on hultraxion this week than I did on it last week with no'kaled, which is not to say that the daggers are definitively better - they may still be worse - but they're not going to drop your dps by anything noticeable even if they are worse.

You had more main gauche hits and you gained more energy from combat potency during the no'kaled week, which makes absolutely no sense. With that increased energy gain you performed more cp builders and more finishers, though not by much. You had much higher deep insight uptime (~20 seconds more), and you used your synapse springs 6 times instead of 2, which is entirely user error. You also have your AP buff from trueshot aura in the no'kaled week and don't have it in the dagger week, so unless you had might, you were lacking a 20% buff.

Want to know what happened? You forgot to use adrenaline rush. In the no'kaled week you had 50% adrenaline rush uptime, and in the dagger week you used it....once. 6% uptime. 50% uptime, by the way, is almost physically impossible so the log is also bugged.

Edit: No, it is physically impossible even if you abandon SnD completely or get good glyph of SS procs. The time it would take to get adrenaline rush off cooldown again even with absolutely infinite energy is longer than 45 seconds.

I also judge the logs because I recorded the fight and used ar on cooldown pretty much.

Ahh, ok I got the basic idea. Thank you

Yeah I've been doing that and I think my gear got too high now during AR the energy happens and it's just nothing I can do about that and I'm spamming my buttons to prevent energy cap as much as possible. still practicing the spec think I got it. Just need to manage energy better in some sitations.

So at the end of raiding this week, I have 332 gems. The first kill next week will allow me to complete Cluster Clutch.

My question is this: if I collect clusters from subsequent kills *before* actually getting the quest "Sharpening Your Fangs", will they count towards the quest? Or do I lose another week lol?

Just keep collecting them. You don't need to hurry and make the second kill. Any clusters you save are good for the next stage of the questline.

does kick reset swing timer? I was thinking about using as a energy dump

What?! No. Just let your energy cap. You get nothing by dumping energy into something that doesn't generate damage.

There's no such thing as kick-immune. If casting kick had some potential effect like proccing a poison, it would always have that effect. Bosses can be immune to the other effects of kick (interrupt or talented silence), but no boss is entirely immune to an ability.

Edit: By the way, kick still procs your mh poison. Turned sideways and it took 3 kicks before I got a proc. Combat log showed only instant poison.

I have been using NugComboBar for about 2 years now, quite happily, but it does not cooperate with the legendary proc. It does not show the regained 5 combo points, and ceases to work as normal until you perform a finisher after the buff expires. I wanted to know if anybody was experiencing similar issues, and could recommend a replacement addon. Thanks.

EDIT: After relogging, this glitch has gotten a little better, but it is still not updating the combo point graphic in a reasonable amount of time for the amount of eviscerate spam going on. Open to suggestions on new mods still.

I use UIM:ComboPoints. It works fine with the daggers.

I use several macros and have a basic question on how WoW handles lines that can not be completed or are already in progress. For example, here is my combat spec dps macro:

/cast Adrenaline Rush
/use 13
/use potion of the tol'vir
/startattack

I have added in the use trinket portion since I am occasionally now using the VP trinket for burst, but what happens if an on use trinket is not equipped or what happens if my combat pot cd is not up? Does this waste a GCD or cause any other delay? Also what if I am already autoattacking and it gets to the startattack line?

I use similar macros for assassination and I also use the recommended /startattack in a macro after all my moves that give CPs so I am always autoattacking, but my real question is any of this causing a waste of processing time, resetting my swing timer, or otherwise causing me some delays. Thanks.

Seems like your macro would work fine even without the trinket and pot up.
Because none of those abilities invoke a GCD.

I have a rather simple question concering RvS because i don`t think, i`ve fully understand the description
of how to use RvS, as written in the Combat Guide.

From my understanding, the first and most important rule is, to only use RvS if you have 4 combo points, to prevent loosing one additional combopoint from the SS glyph.

What i don`t understand is the follwing part:

I pretty much just use RvS anytime i have 4 combo points and are about to Rupture or Evis after receiving the 5th.
The 5th combo point comes from RvS of course and i repeat that everytime i`ve build 4cp through SS, except when i refresh SnD. Anything wrong with that?

If you only RvS at 4 just before you are going to do an Evis or Rupture, then no, it's fine.

But your DPS may improve if you also RvS at 4 just before refreshing your SnD. You then have enough time to work back up to 5 CPs and do an Evis or Rupture before the RvS buff falls off. Doing this can be helpful because on the second build-up you may proc directly from 3 to 5 CPs. However, if you go this route, you have to remember NOT to RvS at 4 on the second build-up, because you will still have the previous RvS buff active.

This has probably been anwsered but I cant seem to find a response...

On Madness Ive noticed since switching to a SnD/Evis rotation and cutting out Rupture I have lost dps. I was talking to some people and they said it because of the Spellweave Mechanic. Is this True? And should I be using rupture on that fight?

I noticed the DPS loss in LFR (So it could be cause RNG someone told me)
Silly but I have no idea what RNG means(Would love an explination)

Thank You for your time...


EDIT: If this is posted in the wrong place please let me know...
EDIT 2: Fixed post per Forum Rules

Thanks for the explanation. Now i got it.

it means random number generator

Yes I recieved a private message about RNG... Now the question about wether or not to use rupture on Madness hasnt really been anwsered. Private msg said to just keep using Evis. But Im curious to know if rupture will have more effect on proc'ing spell weave over the course of the encounter thus doing more dps or Evis is the way to go all the way dont worry about spellweave, etc. etc.
