I'm looking for a mod that displays current attack speed based on active haste effects. I saw it mentioned a few times in the hunter threads but I haven't been able to track down the name via search.

I shoot for a 1.5:1 rotation at the moment. On Naj, I managed 1.3:1, which seems reasonable given the three rapid fires where I drop down to 1:1. But I agree with the point. I don't think I have...

Evaluating Survival Viability in Early T6

As a follower of this thread, I decided to give Survival a try shortly after my guild downed Kael/Vashj. I've enjoyed the change of pace from BM, but I'm worried that I'm not contributing as much...

Compared to the 11/41/9 spec, you're not actually losing much damage with your build.

(3.0) / (2.7) = 1.111, so you'll need 11.1% haste. 15.76 haste rating = 1% haste, so that works out to 175 haste rating. That's a lot of gear. :) I don't know what the item budget is for haste...

With +5 weapon skill, you would reach the hit cap against boss mobs with ~95 hit rating. The change to this racial means you'll be ~47 HR short of the cap.
