Sorry for being inaccurate in my earlier post. When I said "similarly geared", what I really meant was similar average ilvl. Obviously boomkin set pieces will be better for boomkins than resto set...

I'm in pretty much the same situation as the above poster, I am consistently pulling 16k on fights where I see similarly geared boomkins pull upwards of 23k. I'm a resto druid, but my raid leader...

This may sound a bit silly, but I was curious about the exact interaction between mastery and efflorescence. I searched this thread but didn't find anything specific. Does efflor get to double dip on...

You seem to agree that lichborne is valuable during progression - great, let's move on. This thread isn't for talking about how to gear or talent your character once you are 13/13, it's about...

Butchery simply gives you the RP to cast additional rune strikes, which have a chance to proc runic empowerment. RE gives you runes, and you get to choose when to use them. If you're trying to say...

First of all, I don't see how the DS being avoided is relevant to this discussion. Butchery gives you the runes to cast a DS, and if your DS gets avoided, you just cast it again.

Secondly, I don't...

SparkDKTank, you are discussing blood shield numbers while not even mentioning avoidance, while your gear is fully stacked towards avoidance (with some stam stacking, not sure why). Does this not...

This is exactly what I was trying to say.




The point is not that mastery helps mitigate magic damage, it's that avoidance has absolutely no effect on magic damage, while with mastery stacking the...

When I'm maintanking I try to optimize the amount of my DS heals. So, if I know a big attack is coming in ~2 seconds, I'll wait to DS until it's happened so I will get the extra benefit. You can also...

As far as I know, if your blood shield completely absorbs a Halfus attack you won't get a stack of the MS debuff. Additionally, any fight with a high ratio of magic damage to physical damage could be...

Tested on live realms: the tooltip for blood shield now tells you how much is on the shield. However, the tooltip "absorbs x amount of damage" caps out at your maximum health. Disclaimer: I haven't...

What I said was that the percentage modifier refers to the amount healed. As in, if your mastery is 75% that number means 75% of your heal. In the same way, 1% dodge really refers to 1% of the damage...

I think it's fairly clear that 1% mastery isn't directly comparable to 1% avoidance. For avoidance, the percentage refers to damage taken (in a statistical sense) whereas for mastery the percentage...
