have any of you guys looked further into the CB glyph lately? i'm curious if it is viable...i know that in the past it was considered to be a waste, but i was thinking about the combinations....

i currently use Conflag+Inc+LT. thought about changing it to either Conflag+Inc+CB, or Conflag+LT+CB. what do you guys think?

i'm going to do some test dummy work and see what i can find on my own. i'll post some figures after...

i generally agree with you on the inc glyph...but how about the LT one?...a more streamlined cast rotation due to not LT'ing just for the glyph, mixed with more CB's over the course of a fight....what do you guys think?

You have 701 spirit. That's 140 sp that is easily maintained throughout a fight. Chaos bolt glyph is reducing the cd on one spell. LT buffs them all.

yea...after testing i agree....just thought it was worth revisiting the idea...next question

firestone or spellstone?

Always the firestone as destruction. Unless under extreme cases where your haste is horribly low.

Given how much spirit we are going to lose with ICC gear, and how much more haste/combo gear is available, I am curious what some of you have in mind for gear planning. It seems to me that after choose all but legs for the 4pc, and the available options for haste/spirit gear in ICC, it seems it will be hard to keep a high spirit lvl.

What I am most curious about is at what point do we say it's not worth try'n to get spirit on the other pieces and focus on hit/haste/crit? And if we do this, at what spirit lvl do we go back to glyph of immolate or another? It is a little frustrating because spirit is such a huge source of spell power for us, and now we are faced with an entire tier set with not one point of spirit on it

I always gear-plan when a new tier of gear is released, but this time I am having a harder time in deciding on many things. Obviously it's important to decide these things early on because of the various dkp systems and not wanting to waste, so I would be greatly appreciated at the opinion of some you more hard-core theorycrafters here.

I can only speak for myself but the only way i found to be able to keep a decent amount of spirit in t10 gear is your going to need to get the new monster hit trinket and that will allow you get spirit on every single piece of gear outside of your tier gear and the faction ring and keep you hit capped. If you don't use the hit trinket and get hit capped through other pieces of gear the most spirit i was able to come up with was around 300 spirit. I didn't take into account gems and enchants so you probly can add another 100 spirit but 400 spirit is still to low imo.

Is this a work in progress? Some of your gear choices are a bit puzzling, like the Loop of Endless Labirynth instead of ashen rep ring, or picking some heroic items but normal versions of others.

I avoided taking 25 man heroic loot because it's just rather far away. Perhaps I should've also avoided ICC10 HC loot, I dunno. I made this list about 2 weeks ago, and I'm guessing that Wowhead was still missing quite a lot of items at the time.

The scale factors I used to work out this gear set were demonology + raid dps factored in. Meaning that I'm probably very heavy on spirit gear (ie: wand).

Just a note: The tooltip for Fire and Brimstone (5/5) says:
"Increases the damage done by your Incinerate and Chaos Bolt spells to targets affected by your Immolate spell by 10% and the critical strike chance of your Conflagrate spell is increased by 25%"
So it has to be your immolate to get the benefit.

Try testing it rather than trusting tooltips. It does not have to be your Immolate.
