263 hit, haste until steady shot casts are 1.5 secs, quivers are fucked and the 15% speed bonus is now factored into weps.

My spec is a decent dps spec with replenishment which you may not have in 5/10s. Jodwahh arathor eu.

Does anyone know at what # of mobs it becomes better for a blood DK to use DnD and Blood boil. In aoe I spread the diseases but don't really know the cutoff point to stop using heart strike and use dnd and BB.

[Eaglestrike]

I read on EJ it was 6 mobs for BB to beat HS. Not sure about DnD though. And not sure if that was before or after the HS nerf.

[Tricen]

Since HS itself hits for about 3kish uncrit and 6kish crit, with a secondary target, that's about 4.5-9k dmg going out (with 5man gear etc) which is better than 5 BB since they can also proc DC's. As for DND as a blood DK, I wouldn't really use it unless there's 6-8 mobs.

[Siniroth]

While I haven't seen how its affected raids yet, loldummy dps on my rogue has dropped 2-300 from nerf it seems

[Blarg]

The rogue changes are already active on live servers?

[Tricen]

Yep

[Norellicus]

I'm terrible at macros that do anything more than give button modifiers. I want one that I can use on DK to apply Hysteria to my mouseover target and whisper them that they have the buff. Halp?

With the random dungeon system, has anyone been getting thrown into groups where everyone is speaking a different language? I'm guessing I'm getting put into groups with people from latin servers because almost every run I've had today, the whole group cannot understand what I am saying (or only one person) and they are all speaking Spanish to each other. Found it weird, this is the first day I've ever noticed this.

oh yeah I get groups like this.

pretty much anyone from warsong server speaks Portuguese, and anyone from a server that starts with the letter A speaks spanish. I've had some others speaking tagalan? and a few others I have no idea, since they didn't speak english either to tell me what they were speaking

@ dps warriors

Currently I'm fury: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...+Blade&n=Aerss

I know that with NES I can gem full arp now and hit the 712 or 720 I need, and everywhere I look says "if you can reach that number with X trinket, or get close, you should be gemming full arp".

However landsouls sheet says I'll drop like 30-40dps if I swap out every str gem for arp... in fact every arp gem is like a 1-2dps loss.

On rouge it's always been spreadsheet > all, and I know it should be the same for warrior... but why is every source I read saying go arp if thats not what landsouls sheet is saying to do?

btw excuse the leather boots I need them for the expertise, my warrior is geared entirely through pugging and some pieces have just been impossible to get. Only been 80 a month also.

NES is chance on CRIT hit. Grim Toll / Runestone are on normal hits so naturally NES has a lot lower uptime.

SOLO as Prot Warrior: fast or slow weapon?

Which site do you use for hotfix info and game updates in general? i.e. the Oculus buff and Rogue nerf?

/cast [target=mouseover, help] [ ] Hysteria


Should work for the mouseover hysteria cast, as for the whispering the target, I'm not sure how to do that with a mouseover macro, hopefully someone else can answer that.

[Jodwahh]

"/whisper [target=mouseover, help] Hysteria on you!"?

[Norellicus]

No player named '[target=mouseover,' is currently playing.

Edit: I got it with some google fu and some modifications to a priest macro. :D

It's unsightly but it also prevents sending whispers when the spell isn't up and I don't have a mouseover:

#showtooltip Hysteria
/script local u,h="Mouseover","Hysteria";if IsSpellInRange(h,u)==1 and GetSpellCooldown(h)==0 then SendChatMessage(""..GetSpellLink(h).." on you!","WHISPER",nil,UnitName(u)) end
/cast [target=mouseover, help] Hysteria

Quick question to hunters, i've been looking around for you know basic 80 info (hit caps etc) and i cant find any, any help with this type of information, i just want to know what i should be hitting (at min) to be decent in raids.

I like reading throught this blog:

http://www.wow.com/category/scattered-shots/

Not sure how terribly helpful it will be for you, but it meshes a little of beginner with advanced.

[Tricen]

So I was in icc10 doing gunship, and I equipped my rocketlauncher and it wouldn't let me use it saying "You are in a shapeshift form". I am a DK and I didn't have any costumes on, anyone have any idea wtf that was about?

[Onorgul]

Sounds like a bug, Tricen.
