What is the approximate DPS value of Tier 7: 4 piece as compared to Tier 8: 2 piece for a rotation that procs Lunar Eclipse? I have not seen any direct comparisons to these set bonuses. I'm not sure...

Oftentimes, I think raid success has more to do with recruiting the players that do care and show effort than the leadership involved. Some raiders don't like thinking and just want to be told what...

If you want to develop a comprehensive "theory of raiding", I think the focus should be on exactly that. Of course, we should make explicit our definition of "raiding theory". The dictionary...

A few questions. Based on the WWS, since you didn't use Death Strike, I'm assuming you use the Obliterate glyph and open up rotations with Obliterate? As in, ...OB PS IT HS HS DC...?

I tried using DCs only after SD procs on a training dummy yesterday and all it seemed to do was throw my rotation completely out of sync if I got more than 1 proc. From training dummies that I've...

It certainly needs some testing, it is very difficult for me to make sure I hit all my HS and OB before diseases wear off.

What do you mean by "the rotation would have to make over 300 dps more"?...

I don't understand why the 2nd and 3rd row of that rotation is different. Why wouldn't he runic power dump in there? And what would a second opening rotation be?

Anyway, I've been quite confused on...

What would be the difference between "Wrath only to proc Eclipse" and "Wrath-spam. SF only during Eclipse"? Both sound identical.

From my own experience, if you see the portal, the Sentinel will spawn no matter what.

My guild was having issues on the transition too, and I'm unsure when the proper time to take M'uru to 0% is.

What works for me is to still use Quartz so I can see how long my cast is anyway, but spam the button as it's nearing the red. Not doing so may as well be like not using stopcasting before the spell...

I think it's quite obvious that it's spell haste that is doubled. If you have 100 spellhaste, you gain another 100 for 200 total. A 100% increase to spell haste is significant. If it meant cast rate,...

Just to clarify, it does care if you already get +damage from gems, correct? As in if a spinel is giving you +12 damage, you then need 1404 +damage to begin gemming for haste? And from what I read...

What I did was 295 * (1 crit percent / 100) = 2.95 rating. I guess if you multiply your non-haste gear crit percent by 2.95 you'd get your pseudo-haste rating. As long as your haste gear has more...
