We got 10 man hard mode freya done last night and moved onto Mimiron, WOW what a ramp-up in difficulty. Can't find a good strat videeo/guide for it either, anyone got any tips?

[aurik]

Don't stand in fire, phase 3 is the hardest.

Strategy Ulduar Mimiron - TankSpot

Tankspot's guides have always been pretty good at giving you a basic look at what the fuck is going on, the rest just comes with experience as you learn the timings I've found.

[aurik]

Mimiron hard mode strategy is very very very different from normal mode.

[Norellicus]

Oh, I didn't know he meant hard on mimiron too. Sorry, yes, very different >_>

Newb Rogue question, been playing off and on for ~4 months with some people I work with and I have question about rogue builds.

First, I've been following Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft build for leveling with one modification, I changed the 2 talents in improved sprint to 3 talents in lightning reflexes when 3.1 came out. This means I am short one talent in the other trees to get the 30% rupture damage increase in one tree. So which talent in the combat tree do I drop to get it back?

2nd question: I just got dual spec after questing for the gold and what is a good secondary build?

[Correction]

Drop a point from Endurance. Extra health is only useful while pvping.

But if you're already 80 you can just get dualspec and push into mutilate.

[Lauzian]

Got a link to a decent mutilate build?

Is there a macro command to center your view on your current target? Locating a specific target in the midst of bedlam is something that I find difficult.

[Norellicus]

Use enemy nameplates, active one highlights brighter than others

I'm pretty sure any commands related to that are protected (and thus not script/macroable)

[Rama]

I see. I think I'll try adding a Jade Focusing Lens to my macro then...as that seems to turn you around to face whatever it targets. anyone ever tried this?

do I need a Bear (or any other tank pet) to better level as BM hunter?
I really love my red cat, but was wondering how much i'd lose using a dps pet to grind.

also, are wolves now the top tier dps pets for raid? I'm seeing a lot these days

[Guitarman]

im leveling my hunter, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but the threat difference is huuuge. growl and thunderstomp are incredible threat generators, which lets you open up a whole lot more. I used a cat for a little while, but immediately went back to my tenacity pets. There's just no comparison for safety.

Btw, my personal pick? Get a turtle. I fucking love my little guy. He gets to 50% he pops turtle shield, which cuts damage he takes in half for 12 seconds. He tanks like a champ.

Edit: yeah, wolves are top dps for SV hunters. Use devilsaur if you stay BM, but i'd recommend going SV and grabbing a wolf at 80. Hunter in my guild is the top hunter on the server, (3rd best player overall) and swears up and down by em.

Crocs are great for leveling, Bad Attitude is fun.

#1 leveling pet by a long shot.

[Guitarman]

Yeah i had a croc until i got my turtle. Dunno why but them having 6 legs really bugs me way more than it should o.O

Ok so, I just picked these Iron spring Jumers cheap off the ah for my dk(unholy for now), according to elitest Death-Inured Sabatons are better, but maxdps has iron spring far ahead of the other. WHich ones are better for unholy? I'll keep the Iron spring jumpers either way when I switch to blood later on but which are better for unholy now.

[Guitarman]

I would say the iron spring. That's alot of hit on a pair of boots, and 23 more str. Armor pen isnt great for unholy, but its not horrible either. You lose crit, but so much hit on the boots will allow for more crit in other places to make up for it.

edit: scratch that. keep the death indured. Keep the iron spring around though, because alot of ulduar weapons have no hit on them, and the hit rating might come in handy down the line.

[Blackice]

If you're going for hit, the Bladed Steelboots from the Valor NPC would be a better option than Iron Spring Jumpers. Those are hit/crit vs hit/ArP, which the former would be better for unholy.
