Heroic Sha of Fear P2:

Waterspout can be cloaked/feinted. However, recommend saving cloak for Huddle in Terror.

Huddle in Terror is a bit tricky. It goes through immunity effects (divine shield,...

The Anticipation talent can be used as a sort of low-cost Redirect.

The first step is to get 5 CPs on your target and build any number of Anticipation Charges. Next, select your new target, get in...

This is a very useful tool, and it has helped immensely. However, I'd like to make a suggestion: If an item ends up not being reforged, it would be helpful for the final result to note that (much...

Interesting. I try to keep up with as much as I can, but this site is news to me. Did it have its own thread, or was it just mentioned elsewhere? Either way, I'm quite embarrassed.

I'm also...

Now, see, that's along the lines of what I wanted. The 390 EP gain was not factoring in the loss of Opportunity, because I didn't know how to calculate its value, nor where to find it. That was...

That makes sense, but if I'm doing it strictly for spell hit (as I have more than enough hit rating), wouldn't it essentially be worth spell hit's EP value? If so, for my current gear set, the gain...

In the OP, it was mentioned that 31/3/7 was about 40 dps behind 31/2/8. This might seem like a silly question, but does that include the EP gain from being able to reforge that hit to other, now more...

He was saying that if you hover over the spell hit stat, it'll show you a breakdown of what % hit comes from gear and what doesn't.

For example, I have 17.03% spell hit. If I hover over that number,...

I haven't had a chance to try it since the hotfix, but I imagine the results will be the same. If you time cloak for just before the cast finishes (1s or less), you will immune the Wind Burst, and...

How much unbuffed haste did you have when running those dungeons? Did you have Hero/Bloodlust?

Hmm. I hadn't really thought of that. I'll test it out and see what the general results are.

Too much haste?

I've copied my character over to the Beta (which currently has the same rogue mechanics as the PTR) and done some reforging. I reforged nearly every piece of gear to haste, resulting in being...
