Kavan, this may have been addressed somewhere else, but AB4AM is more DPS than a straight AB burn?

To much homogenization. All we need is a bigger buffer, more health, to equalize things. The change to blade barrier is already bad enough. Start doing things like the above poster suggests, and we...

With the wards its just another trinket proc, which is good. This is using your numbers, 900 SP with a 33% uptime is actually pretty good.This is an actual dps increase as opposed to the other...

The chart is exactly like he describes. And to say its useless i think is a bit unfair. From a game designer point of view i would assume it would be very useful. At the very least it is a snapshot...

"We would like to get Arcane back up there. The Living Bomb change is just going to be another reason not to play Arcane -- we get that.

Arc/Frost

I tried setting up rawr for a 50/0/21, and i must be doing something wrong, but i was wondering if that spec is as viable as the old 40/21. The sequence that came to my mind was, FrB,FrB(MBproc),...

Are the t9 stats available for rawr. I'd like to see the dps spread between our specs. I'm assuming arcane takes a hit just by looking at relative stat values.

If Vontres calculations are correct, or even if there close for that matter, do we not lose by default to fire? In TBC our dps increased as a result of faster and faster kills, while fires, although...

AP

I dont see how a 42sec AP butchers our cooldown rotation. We end up getting an extra 2 in between most cooldowns.. As far as IV goes were essentially in the same boat as we were before. What may...

Haste

Im still a little confused as to the value of haste on the sample simcraft output in the 3.0.8 thread. Simcraft has it valued lower than crit. This seems counterintuitive considering the paltry crit...

Arcane Rotations

Here are some numbers from the ptr. Spec is 57/3/11. I have no gear on and no buffs. I did not use arcane power,IV, or POM. Hit is assumed max as i was practicing on a theramore dummy. Latency...

To be consistent you are right, but as i said before, the crit buff benefits these two specs to much not to cast it. While arcane is sitting with its terrible bonus of 50% and no other procs.

Kelfar, perhaps you could explain a few things to me. I didnt see a 57/3/11 spec on the DPS Ranking. Am i to assume that it fell short of the list? Also, for the 52/19/0 spec haste is valued at .43...

I would be very surprised if Blizzard were done with the mages. Frost and Arcane falling behind Fire by 600-700 DPS would be unacceptable to even Blizzard. They'll make another pass i bet. I would...

Oh yah. I haven't thought about that for awhile because most of the builds i've been playing with don't include Arcane Barrage. I've been trying to get a spec similar to the current 40/0/21.

The DPS that DeDmon posted for Arcane looks discouraging.It seems Blizzard is at an impasse with arcane for the moment. Dedmon, why not go all the way to cold snap for the extra IV?

AB Spam

Roywyn, Are you able to test the AB spam with random interrupts instead of a flat 12 secs? Say from 1-12 over the 6 min fight you have numbers for.
