Hit rating already increases both Spell and Melee hit, just at different rates (changing to the same rate in MoP). Spirit is the only stat that increases only spell hit, and that is due to the way...

The spread works exactly like the Fire mage Impact proc. It spreads the current duration of your fire dots to nearby targets, so I'm guessing LL's FS spread is as intended and not a bug.

Er, no. I say this by hovering over my Flame Shock skill in a raid, and having it read just under 13s, and I have nowhere near the 1377 haste you mention. I suspect your 50% haste is an inaccurate...

You can swap weapons during a GCD tho, and all it does is reset the GCD from the point at which you made the weapon swap, so you're basically on double-cooldown if you macro in the swap after the FE...

Cool, thanks for that. I really thought that anything that wasn't applied to everything didn't show up on the paper doll. Guess I'll be getting another 5% or so crit and trying again.

I do apologise, I think my thought processes went along the lines of 'things that aren't hits or crits, some of which can be zeroed, but whose actual values don't matter over much'. My point was more...

Aye, I realised this on the way home, too late to amend my post. Yellow attacks are also hit capped, adding an additional 9% leeway in the example.

Just to come back to this, I disagree with both points. It doesn't increases your leeway on crit, but nor does it decrease it. It's a conversion, so it effectively reduces your crit chance by 4.8%...

It's already there. If you look at the 'Set Priorities' menu item, your first dropdown will be 'Priority List 1'. Select prio list 2 and so on, and viola, your musical instrument of choice.

Take your stats without ANY buffs (including weapon imbues). Setting the weapon imbues to FT and glyph to FT will sort everything else out for you. I'm sure that's in the instructions somewhere.

Uh, no, I believe you understand incorrectly. I was purely coincidentally going through that thread today for my rogue gearings, and it just reduces your crit chance by 4.8%. Nothing more.
