I haven't added much (non AH) PVP stuff; I have no idea. I have tanked; I heal; I play the auction house. I get into arguments that I shouldn't get into.

At my days, Tankspot (http://tankspot.com/) also had some good information and videos about raids and stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou have all the basics and some advanced stuff nailed there, so its a good list,will help a lot of people.
omg if you recomend askmrrobot one more time im going to stab myself in the eye. as a spriest they wanted me to lose 60 int to regem and reforge for a little bit of hit and mastery. int is god and any regeming out of it is stupid and an indication its time to leave the game.
ReplyDeleteFor newbies; the difference Daketh is talking about is trivial.
ReplyDeleteDaketh; I am going to recommend ask Mr Robot again. Do you need that pencil?
We have this discussion often. (A) we are talking a storm in a teacup - probably 0.25% of your theoretical DPS.
Mr Robot does suggest taking a complete set of buffs. if you don't like the numbers, then you can even override them.
Daketh on AskMrRobot
AskMrRobot suggest:
gems
Shoulder: -10 Int; + 20 Haste
Chest: -20 Int; +20 Haste; +20 Spirit
Hands: -10 Int; +20 Spirit
Waist: -10 Int; +20 Spirit
enchants
+100 Mastery; -100 Haste; +Run Speed enchant
This totals
-50 Int; (Not the 60 you claim)
-60 Haste;
+100 Mastery;
+60 Spirit
It takes your Hit from 16.28% to 16.89%. Yes I know it's only a global cooldown; that is still 6 gcd's in 1000 casts you are missing; You will still continue to miss 1 gcd in 1000.
No-one is claiming that 1 point of hit is worth more than 1 point of int. However 2 points of hit might just be worth more than 1 point of int.
Finally - I am not sure why you even care; You dropped a real proffession for Herbalism; You worry about 50 int from gems, but don't have the 80 int from a real proffession.
But don't worry; you are trying your best and still welcome in my raids.
History: I often run with Daketh. He is nearly as good as he tells others that he is. Just don't tell him that.
Daketh - if you don't like run speed enchantments, then the final numbers are -50 int, -10 Haste; +65 Mastery, +60 Spirit.
ReplyDeleteyour an evil little man you know that dont you :) do you think in a years time we will still be arguing on this issue? haha
ReplyDeleteDaketh: We will only be arguing if
ReplyDelete(a) we are both still playing WoW, and
(b) you stubbornly refuse to correct your position :)
