As to the dps, they're pretty much right smack in the middle of the pack spec-wise, which puts them near the bottom class-wise. They're better than all the shit specs, and even some of the middle ones like frost dk, but they're way the fuck behind your anylock/unholy/assrogue trifecta.

If they keep Blink strikes the way it is BM will be passing everyone right up to mage/lock dps levels in 5.3and our cleave is also getting buffed so hunter is going to be solid as fuck DPS wise soon.

Leveled my rogue from 85-90 last weekend, already at 480 thanks to LFR bonus rolls. Can't find daggers for my life though, how op is assassination vs combat. Should i pump out heroics till i get a 2nd dagger or stay combat with my LFR claw?

**Plow** · 2013-04-26 17:41

do you have a bunch of charms? spam ToT and use all your coins on lei shi

there's also a boe 480 you might find on ah left over from winter veil, and then there's 2 476's that drop from the weekly quest elites on isle

**nicholai** · 2013-04-27 08:08

Cool thanks I'll work on those. I still need to find a guild that lets me play Hpally and Rogue haha and maybe DK down the road. All the guilds I keep finding are inactive or wildly mediocre. I don't want to commit the time for top end raiding really but miss the actually killing things in a top end progression guild.

Killed Magaera last night. We 3 healed it, but our Enh Shammy spend a lot of his maelstrom weapons healing, so i guess you can say we 4-healed it. My biggest issue was the dps spread. Minus the shammy, all dps were over 102k.... but our monk was sitting between 67-72k dps the entire night. Do we have any dps monks here that can give me a rundown of how her rotation should be? We've basically carried her over all of our progression runs; even on tortos with the bats and AoEing everything to death, both myself on demo and our destro lock found it relatively easy to beat her on dps. That, or when she dies, we tend to get kills. Help me help her?

**Meresgi** · 2013-05-05 20:31

Make her go MW? I don't know how monks are now, but I quit within this most recent patch and they were just complete shit w/o the best A+ gear on. The dmg nerf was pretty rough considering all the sims were based on the monk having that one trinket from heroic Le'shen or some stupid shit.

Is she using chi wave on cooldown? Popping TEB as between 8-10 stacks and never letting it go over 10? For AoE fights she should be popping those clones and Spin 2 Winning I think, though not sure on that part if it's still retardo damage or not.

**Korialstrasz** · 2013-05-05 20:58

This past week our monk did around 140k dps on Megaera and 250k+ on Tortos, with only normal mode gear.

Your monk is just crap.

**Abandon** · 2013-05-06 01:24

Do you have logs you can send me so i can see, Korial (fuck spelling that long ass name)? In fact, let me post logs of last night so you can see what she did wrong, and hit me up with things she can change?

**Abandon** · 2013-05-06 02:06

here are logs from our kill for the monk.

**Korialstrasz** · 2013-05-06 02:37

Sure thing:

Tortos
Megaera

The monk you're looking for is Ifted. My monk is only in it's 40s and I don't know a whole lot about it tbh, but surely someone can get something out of it.

**Clash Perez** · 2013-05-06 04:59

Hate to break it to you, Korial, but Ifted is padding his parse at the expense of your raid group on Maegaera. He's got an uptime of 91% on S/E/F, which means he's doing only 60% of the damage he could be doing to the appropriate head, while getting parse credit for another 60% damage that serves no purpose since the heads heal to full after each kill.

Looks like he spends most of his time in Mistweaver, so perhaps he just doesn't know any better.

**Clash Perez** · 2013-05-06 05:19

As for Möu, it looks like she has less than 70% uptime on the Rising Sun Kick debuff, which is a very important part of WW DPS. She should be using RSK on cooldown both for the damage it provides and to maintain the +DT debuff.

She could probably stand to reforge out of about 1k haste in favor of using Energizing Brew and Chi Wave more frequently. That parse shows 1 use of Energizing Brew (1m cd) in 8.5 minutes.

Her Tigereye Brew counts look about right for having been stacking them with trinket/swordguard procs, but it's hard to say from WoLs.

Sounds to me like she needs more practice managing her various cooldowns and resources. At least she wasn't using S/E/F!

Any suggested strats for Alliance side Silvershard mines?

Seems like no matter how good a group I'm in, as soon as we get it the leader is crying in the corner and it's p. much a guaranteed loss. I started hosting my own rbgs yesterday and we won everything until we got to SSM, and ya.... I feel like everyone has the same idea: send tank to top, all push lava/mid depending on what's capping first. Every rbg I've done has used this strat, and I think I've won it all of two times doing it that way. I feel like there's gotta be other ideas, but the only one I've come up with is to set a rogue to change lava cart then defend middle/top paths while capping them.

**Plow** · 2013-05-10 15:13

don't worry about cart control at the start, establish healer control

i.e. get their best healers to one, don't kill them, and don't let them leave

the team that keeps healers on 2 wins

**Abandon** · 2013-05-13 00:38

Disc priests, which tier 3 talent are you using, and why? I started with from darkness comes light, but i hate how random the procs are. power word: solace looks to be shit to me, personally; i'm leaning towards mindbender

**Plow** · 2013-05-13 01:00

our damage disc uses solace, the other uses mindbender

**Abandon** · 2013-05-13 01:03

For atonement healing, i can certainly see Solace being nice. I don't do atonement healing a lot unless the dps in my group suck ass (i've literally led dps and heals in the majority of my groups, it's depressing). That being said, i can blow through mana like nobody's business using heals, etc

**Meph** · 2013-05-13 04:11

Im using mindbender cause I would always go OOM w/o it, from darkness is neat if not tho, easy to keep grace stacked with flash heals

**Abandon** · 2013-05-13 04:39

yeah, but those fucking procs are few and far inbetween. i hate random procs.
