As Doc said, it's definitely possible to "roll" your AP-buffed diseases. Self-buffed (i.e. just HoW) on a dummy, I was able to maintain a BP+FF applied during a stars-align proc of Greatness/FC/UA...

I'm in the process of simming some new EP weights for DW Frost given my current kit, and I'm confused about the tier bonus values output by the sim. I got the following EP values for the selected...

Since 3.0.8, Deathchill won't be consumed if KM is active. You can make a Deathchill + HB macro but if you hit it when KM is active, the Deathchill will be consumed on your next IT/HB/FS.

Unless I'm...

Just a minor nitpick:

Warrior, priest, mage, warlock, hunter, shaman, rogue, paladin, druid, and death knight makes 10 (rather than 11) classes I see in WotLK. Unless of course we have officially...

Thanks Rob. So after another solid half-hour troubleshooting I discovered my silly mistake: gotta have values in all of the inputs below "Stats" on the Tracking Headquarters page. Evidently I'd been...

Getting Yo!'s sim to run

So I've searched the thread for some troubleshooting ideas for Yo!'s sim but couldn't find much. I've only been able to get it to run a sim once (out of *many* times messing with it). I read one post...

To be honest I find the biggest problem with the (often brutal) horde dominance of AV in BG9 is that honor-desperate alliance have started afking EotS and AB in droves. I don't have the data to show...

Anyone know of a mod that will track Earth Shield charges? I vaguely remember one of the Shaman-oriented mods doing it, but I've tried YATA and GotWood and unless I totally missed something those two...

I think this is really the key point. The power of sustaining an ultra-buffed stack of any HoT/DoT is well established (rolling ignites in vanilla, scorpid poison currently) but if it weren't for the...

Just to play devil's advocate, rogue/fury warrior/enh shaman synergy is so good that you can't use those classes as a basis for DPS comparison. Comparing feral DPS to the other DPS classes/specs, I...

I'd argue that this is already the case. That many encounters are made easier with a balanced raid including hybrids of various specs is a testament to the devs' attempt to make as many specs as...

I think using AB spam above 20% as 10/48/3 is never going to be worthwhile; trying to optimize heroism/combustion/AB-spam-mana-dump use to that extent isn't realistic. The real question is (as you...

Based on the Leotheras parse, Lightning Capacitor accounted for 6% of your 829 dps which means it was worth ~50 dps by itself. That's just godly; Sextant/Capacitor are the clear winners f you will be...

I would suggest 33/28/0 (with 3/3 arcane med, 4/5 arcane mind, 3/3 MoE) as a fire-based spec that has more flexibility than deep fire without sacrificing too much dps. It provides a stronger scorch...
