Elemental Warding

Why not in Reverberation?

Because dead shaman do no dps and there are too many ways for an Enh shaman to die in ICC. If you are just looking for best performance on Saurfang then go with Reverb but if you really want to help your raid progress on the more difficult fights then go with Elemental Warding.

It's always a good idea to sim it as well, as I've found what Rawr says vs. what is simmed can net different results. This is especially important if you're using various proc type items like Black Bruise or TAIAJ. I've found this particularly true of haste vs AP. In many cases, RAWR will tell me to gem AP over Haste, but EnhSim will show higher DPS from gemming the haste. Aoe type situations will also favor AP...

I also ran a battery of simulations on his armory earlier today. At 38% Haste is roughly 2.0 EP and dips to as low as 1.76 at 39.15% but already at 40% haste value goes to as high as 3.10 EP. This is just another case of haste rating EP inconsistency. I am curious as to why Rawr Graph didn't reflect the behavior.

Rouncer's point about EW is a good one. I'm partial to imp GW for sindragosa though (and gunship I guess?), if you choose not to spec for imp WF. When the patch hit, I spec'd out of it, and quickly realized that our frost DK wouldn't be in every 10 man I do and chose to spec back. It's 2 points sure, but it's not really practical unless you're respecing every night anyway.

And the shamans rejoice.

This may be a quick solution to TRY and help out our single target dps. It may not be what the shaman community has wanted but it most definitely is a step in the right direction, Especially with them also taking a look at our survivability

I suspect it's one of those cases where Flurry is positioned to boost so much of our overall damage (melee, FT, Mael, Static, WF to an extent - essentially the entire top 4), that it's the easiest single button to hit to produce a damage increase. Throwing damage on the other abilities singularly won't really change much without huge movement; which is more of a patch thing than a hotfix thing.

Enhsim adds an amount of expertise to determine the weight of expertise.
You are near the cap for expertise. When the sim adds more expertise it will exceed the cap.
So it warns that it could not determine the value of expertise correctly.

6.5% := 26 expertise is still the cap.

Was looking for the glyph comparison thread, but couldn't find it so this seemed to be the most suitable place for posting.

Has anybody else noticed a drastic reduction of static shock procs in Blood-queen fight? Up until now I've been using lightning shield glyph instead of flame shock (windfury) for that encounter, but on the last kill I swaped it back after 1 try, because It didn't proc nearly as much as I was hoping and as it had proviously. So I was going over the logs to see how much the difference was and noticed that the number of procs had gone from 42 to 28 compared to the week before. That's still a bit more then on any other encounter given the length of the fight. Given the special circumstances there's no way to sim a situation like this, so I'm just asking here whether anybody else has noticed the change and do you still plan on using the glyph for this fight (for those of you who bothered to use it in the first place).

Blood Queen's aura no longer procs shields. That's why you observed less procs of lightning shield. It's more noticable while healing as resto shaman because water shield is not consumed by aura at all.
