Does any dps spec regardless of how incomplete their buffs are have any excuse for sub-20k dps on Ultraxion 10m or am I just being an elitist prick?

Feral cats can't use their main attack shred throughout the entirety of the fight... Should still be higher then 20k dps though.

Is survival supposed to be the best hunter spec now, or its just a statistical fluke on raidbot?

I haven't done any serious looking into from a Elitestjerk/theory crafting stand point but just from my eyeballing of it I'd say that it's right at or above MM levels now.

I've been using it the past few weeks and have really enjoyed it, especially with the new tier 2set bonus.

As a feral, can you get vengeance stacks when you shift into bear? Or does that only apply to tanking ferals and not pvp kitty ferals? Seems kind of OP that a druid could shift into bear form and still hit like a tank if you try to focus fire the feral down.

Kiroptyric Sigil: Bind to SS macro or to RvS macro?

You can get Vengeance stacks anytime you're in bear form but they only work while in bear form afaik

No wonder why I still get my teeth kicked down my throat even when a druid pops bear form. Pop Enraged Regen, go from 10% hp to 45% hp and hit with 6k+ attack power. Balanced pvp is balanced.

My Enhance gear is ilv 351, and my Resto is 315. Is there any way to LFD at 315 instead of 351?

I'd like to LFD with both flags, but there's no way I can handle a 351-ish group with the current state of my Resto.

[Siniroth]

queue for normal? I don't think you can queue for heroics as 315. Best alternative is queue as dps and roll for resto gear and fuck the haters

I have only played wow on my laptop but I am going to set it up on my pc as well. What all will I have to set up again? I know my addons, that I can redownload through the curse client I will have to set up the settings. What else? My macros, action bars, keybindings? Where are they saved, will they still be the same from laptop to pc?

WoW has no real "install", it's designed to be "portable" (standalone)

Just get a hard drive and copy pasta it onto it and then onto your PC, and run WoW.exe.

I can say I've done this and it works fine. SC2 is the same way. it's convenient for gaming on a laptop when you can just stuff your games onto an external drive and take them with you.

Heroic Hagara, how do you guys handle Snowflakes?

Ranged: Doesn't matter, all ranged/healers stacked in middle.
Melee: Run into bubble and call for dispel

The damage isn't that over powering if all those people are inside the middle?

Guild just started doing DS, 4/8 normals first night. Was wondering what normal DPS for like, 378~ geared people is on the first 4 bosses. Our groups actual ilvl ranges from like 375 to 392, me (rogue) and our frost dk where top 2 but it seemed like everyone else was lagging behind quite a bit.

It's really hard to tell since the first 4 fights have mechanics that mess up parsing result (dmg boost, lot of movement, downtime for certain class). Ultraxion is 4.3's real test , and everyone with 378ilvl should be able to do close to 25k).

Even ultraxion can be a bitch too at times if you judge it by a single kill, since some people will eat the Twilight debuff on every cast and have to phase out each time.

I pushed 34k on ultrax 10 this week at 384 ilvl, my first actual raid night running masterfrost (and now I got 2 piece so back to oblit til I get 4 piece lol). That was with 3 fadings on me, including a late one where I had to jump out at 4 seconds to be safe for the incoming twilight.

Theoretically you were originally required to average 27k per dps and 13k per tank on him in 25 man. I think in 10 man it's closer to 25/12.

I done Ultrax10 last night and as the one to tank first I held 29k against him for a short while until I had to tank swap. This later dropped to 20k through out the fight

Opener:
Death Grip/Taunt > outbreak > 2x Death Strike > 1x Heart Strike > Empower Rune Weapon > Icebound Fortitude > Dancing Rune Weapon> tank buff (resets DRW/IBF) > DS DS RS HS HS/whatever > Throw DRW up again and yeahhhhhh! Ghoul up too!
