Is there a thread that lists all the Warrior acronyms used in this forum? I've been searching for about an hour and still no success in trying to find a list.

Is it worth it to delay MS for one GCD if CS comes off CD?

For example, assuming CS is not up: MS - Slam - OP (CS becomes available) - _________
Should that last global be used on MS or CS? My gut says that using CS in those scenarios won't overcome the lost MSs and slightly lower enrage uptime over an entire fight, and certainly not worth it once you have 4pc T13, but I was wondering if anyone has seen or done the math.

It seems the t-13 two set bonus has made hit more viable somewhat than crit; any thoughts of human racial now a priority over worgen racial?

To get the crit cap how much crit should I get from gear without buffs ?

Auron · 01/11/12, 9:40 AM

You cannot critcap with the current gear

Is there any way to work around this, possibly through some sort of microscopic delay, so I only have to click the macro once?

While you do have to click twice, you minimize the lag between abilities by spamming your abilities, so for instance just after you use overpower, you start spamming your MS macro, and by the time the global is up, you'll be in zerker stance and ready to go. I'm not talking about precasting here, which is impossible on the CD, just the benefit of stances not being on the GCD.

Stances are not on the GCD in the first place. You need to click OP twice since it have stance requirment, but for MS for example you will only need to press the ability once even while in oombat stance and regardless of stance CD.

Kurathikai · 01/11/12, 3:37 PM

Yup, I was just pointing out the benefit of spamming to change stance before the MS would actually go off, to benefit from the extra dmg of being in zerker vs. battle.

What's the minimum number of targets before Blood and Thunder and/or Bladestorm become worthwhile to use?

The problem with that method is that if you go by single pressing your MS macro, MS will actually go off in battle stance, before the stance change. With the macros I use, It still requires 2 presses when you have to stance change.

Spamming your abilities is a minor dps increase since most of our abilities cant be queued.

would if be better to wait after Creche of the Final Dragon proc to use Recklessness so u dont waste crit? Or delaying Recklessness would be bad cause it might not up for DW.

Cevs · 01/19/12, 7:30 AM

It's better to wait until Creche of the Final Dragon falls off and then use Recklessness. Stacking two enormous crit buffs is a waste so it's better to wait until the trinket buff falls off.

Thanks to all who provide data and information in these forums.

Just a couple quick questions from a long time tank looking for a half decent dps parse.

1. I'm having trouble gauging whether or not i will be able to OP twice during a CS. Anyone have a suggested tracking method, perhaps an aura string?

2. I also just wanted to verify that the H Slicer is still better than the Reg Gurth even for humans, and whether or not that changes fight based say for example Ultrax Vs. Yor.

Thx

1. It's possible to use Overpower twice within the window of the CS debuff but your timing has to be exact. What that means is you delay using the first overpower until the last second before the next overpower proc and that would allow you to be able to fit two Overpowers in. Since you say you're a long tank, I assume you're not fluid or proficient at arms, so I wouldn't recommend you trying this since you would lose overpower procs while trying to fit two in the CS debuff, which results in a DPS loss.

2. It really depends on the warrior and fight. Some warriors choose to use the Heroic Experimental Slicer, while some choose to use the regular Gurthalak.

If you use powerauras you can track the taste for blood proc. since it will proc every 6 seconds from rend, or at 5 seconds with MS, that's your window.

Here's mine:
Version:4.23; icon:Ability_Rogue_HungerforBlood; buffname:Taste for Blood; x:50; customname:Overpower; mine:true; customtex:true; combat:true; size:0.3; y:-225; timer.h:3.64; timer.Texture:WhiteRabbit; timer.enabled:true; timer.cents:false; timer.Relative:CENTER; timer.Transparent:true; timer.ShowActivation:true
