Im a 53 BE hunter currently using Precisely Calibrated Boomstick. I have a chance to buy Dwarven Hand Cannon for a very reasonable price. Is there a noticable improvement in upgrading to the Hand Cannon from the Boomstick? My concern is that by losing the +14 Agility and the incredibly fast attack rate of 1.90 I will lose some of the edge in Attack Power and PvP play.
I look foreward to reading your thoughts and opinions between the two guns. Thank you.Quote:I know that the Blood Ravager will become untameable (if it isn’t already), but I hadn’t heard anything about the other Ravager varieties having stats changed or reduced.
That?? the only change I??e heard of.

I really like my Ravager, and went through hell to get him (I’m a horde player), so it would be a shame if they brought major changes to the species as a whole. -Andikun wrote:Of course Taurens can stealth. They have

My talent build is a little odd. I’m still debating on whether to take the 5 points from Lethal Shots, and push them into either BM, or SV.

Post your armory, so we know what stats you are lacking, and what build you have. These are important pieces of information we need if we are to give you any advice. Different Builds require slightly different stats for best results. -Friar Bijou wrote:ITT: NorthAI is a L?rd Kaolian wrote:We get some batsht insane people here on occasion.So I’m trying to make a decision about Gems.
I just had a friend of mine craft me a set of the Felstalker gear (I farmed all the mats), and I am wondering what gems to look into placing.
I have 3 Blue Sockets, and 3 Red Sockets
I am looking at the +AP, +AGI, and +Crit/Stam Gems
What would be your recommendations keeping in mind that these need to be Somewhat attainable (Nothing crafted from super rare Instance/Boss drops).
I am a miner and have been saving a lot of the high end gems I’ve acquired in outlands so some I may already have a fair set of mats for. I’m just not really sure if I should continue my focus on AP, and AGI, or maybe spread into some Stam/+Crit. Also having not put a lot of thought into Gems previously I haven’t really gotten my head around whan I am looking at spending.

I prefer to go against slightly lower level mobs when leveling a weapon skill. It’s low risk and you get loot to sell. I can’t see doing anything for that long without making some gold from it.-Myohmy

Just thought anyone who may have just specced a new ranged weapon late in the game or maybe has that 1 or 2 weapon skill that they really want, but don’t use that weapon. There is an easy mob to do this with. Dr.Boom. He doesn’t fight back if you are far enough away and has so much health, it is almost impossible to kill him with your ranged weapons. He is really close to Area 52 (Dont have cords, so can’t help you there). Just thought those like me who just went crossbows, might enjoy him. Just get a fast weapon. Rapid Fire + Imp. AotH + Serpenst swiftness = incredible weapon speed which means fast weapon skills. Even if you dont have Serpents Swiftness and Imp. AotH, its still damn easy.

Pray that it’s a slow day on tickets about how a hunter ninja’d a rogue item, or so-and-so had a name that was almost sorta offensive, or doesn’t follow naming guidelines.
If the GM is in a good mood, he might do it. If not, like you said, not a big deal. It’s still a name that a lot of people wouldn’t think of.-Ayrianna 80 Nightelf Hunter – Queen of Typos

You can ofcourse ask a GM if you can change it.

I decided on Micrathena. Micrathene whitneyi is the genus/species name of the elf owl, and Athena is the greek goddess of wisdom whose symbol was the owl.
However, I typed in only Micrathene without changing the last letter, and didn’t notice until later. This isn’t really that big of a deal, but if I can change it, I’d like to.
I’ve thought of asking a guildie to report the name as offensive, but if the gm’s half awake, that won’t fly. Any suggestions?

1st question is about 35AGI vs Savagery because I’m not sure which one to take? Since I’m a BM hunter I believe Savagery would be the way to go since BM’s want AP over agi, but most hunters I see take 35AGI. So which one is overall better.Agility is better for BM too as long as you raid.
Simply because it gives a good balance of crit and Ap for raiding and because it benefits from BoKings.
Quote:My 2nd question is about survival gear. I see a ton of threads about how there is no good survival gear till past SSC, so my question is what exactly constitutes survival gear? Besides AGI what else does survival gear have on it that makes it survival gear? Also can someone link a prime example of some gear that fits the survival criteria.
Thanks all.Necklace of the Deep is true SV gear, it has loads and loads of agility.
And actually, is (depending on the amount of physical dps in your raids) the best necklace ingame for SV.
And that should answer your other questions about SV gear too.

Savagery is only 70AP, and it doesn’t scale with buffs at all, +35 Agility gives 35 Armor, almost 1 Crit, 35 AP, dodge and scales with buffs. And lets face it, 35 AP is NOT going to make or break your DPS game.
Survival gear is basically just mail gear with lots of Agility on it, it’s really not more complicated than that. Obviously there will be other stats on the gear, but as long as it has tons of Agility, it’s survival. -Light travels faster than sound, which is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.Hello all, I actually have 2 questions.

I know I’m going to get rped, but here I go. Last night in Naxx 10 man, we went up against Pahworks, whh we all know is a straight DPS burn down. I hear you guys talking about numbers in the 4,500-5,500 range on this fight with toons geared very similar to me. My DPS was aonstant 2,600 all night long! Where’s the DPS? Here is the question: When I’m firing shots ( SpS, ES, Aimed ) sometimes I get eited andannot tell if the shot goes off or if it is still ond. So I will spam that shot until I see it on the target ( xpearl ). I didn’t think that it would make a big differee if I pressed that shot 2-4times, and was just trying to get the shots off as fast as possible. The only thing that Ian put my finger on is user error. So, does it matter how many times you try to take a shot or try using a shot that’s onD by mistake?? The Armory is down or I would link my toon. My gear is not the problem, as I’m sure I will here it is something I’m doing wrong. I have ed a WWS before, but the onlyomments I reived were to use Steady Shot more. Missing a few SS is not going to rede 2-3K DPS…or is it?? Thank you

Good

This is a big problem. Spamming shots that are onool-down will kill DPS. It’s that simple. There are addons that tually darken out the on for shots onooldown- that might help if you are unsure if you haveast them or not. Otherwise you should be getting messages about “spell not ready” or “a stronger spell already exists” message when you are spamming. These mean you are only doing autoshot DPS whh is BAD. I know I get ahead of myself on serpent sting all the time and when I see that message I get pissed- it’s telling me I’m a noob and am sking serious DPS air. If you are using some sort of rotation don’t get too eited, go through your shots and things will be OK. Blizz now has the keylogger that stores your last button pushed to oveome latey issues so overspamming is also not rommended. Also, are you trap-daing for pah also? If you are survival you should be using frost traps to override the LnLD timer.

has anyone heard about any DK specific gear?

I’m asking cause DK’s run off rune power, so I was curious to know if anyone has seen or heard of any armor that would have runic enhancements? Death Knights will need the same type of stats as a warrior does.

At the moment there isn’t any Death Knight (only) requirement armour, but I will post some as soon as it comes out.”Death Knights will need the same type of stats as a warrior does.

I’ve never leveled a warrior past lvl 10, so the important stats to build would be #1 -strength, #2 -stam, and #3 – agility (dodge,armor)??Actually Death Knights need the following Stats listed from most important to least important.

Blood Spec

Strength (DPS – Parry)
Agility  (Critical – Dodge)
Stamina (HP)

Frost Spec

Strength (DPS – Parry)
Stamina (HP)
Agility (Critical – Dodge)

Unholy Spec

Strength (DPS – Parry)
Agility (Critical – Dodge)
Spell Power (self-explanitory)yeah i was wondering about spell power stats for unholy also.

do they even count as spells? cause you really don’t use any mana.

They are spells… That’s why Unholy has a talent called Impurity that adds a percentage of Attack Power to Spell Power
do not worry …there is DK specific gear in northrend I just took my lvl 68 DK to Borean Tundra last night, and by the time I popped 69 (which only took about an hour) I had replaced 3/4 of my gear.  Nothing was “DK specific” but most of the plate had higher strength or AP than what I had….There is no class specific DK gear BUT the plate gear in NR is made for DK/Pally. It’s set up for tanks(more stamina) and DPS(more strength). It maintains that setup the entire time through North Rend. I was wondering about if a DK can use a shield or notThey can’t use shields.

To make up for that DKs have a huge amount of parry rating and Frost presence.

imurrently raiding and pvping quite a bit. my build is good for raid dps but im dieing a lot in pvp and it makes me mad. is there a way that iould have more survivability but not lose my dps? i want to stay deep in affltionause i like. the other thing is i dont have any pvp gear yet so is that going to help me out? armory link wowarmoryomcharter-…amp;n=Ituri ok my link isnt working and i need help with that too now : )

this is not merely a matter of personal preferee… it’s a matter of effiey. leveling fury at least until youan get MS (whh at the earliest is level 41 if i’m not mistaken) makes sense bause youan get 22 imp slam about ten levels earlier than that. leveling arms after that makes sense bause youan sp into MS and take advantage of a low miss rate with a 2h and ireased damage over a 1h or DW at this level (MS relies on weapon damage. DW and BT are very gear-dependent). spcing DW fury before you are suffiently geared for it does not make sense bause it leads to missing with your spials and not being able to keep flurry up most of the time (whh you need arit rate of 25-30% to hieve aonstant flurry uptime). youOULD try to level DW fury before you’re ready for it… but then it just wouldn’t make mh sense, from an effiey standpoint.
There are a ton of questions on this subjt, but sie I didn’t find thisovered in the stky, I didn’t rate you down. If you’re level 25, I’d strongly suggest you resp to fury. In 5 levels you get Slam, and at level 31 youould have 22 in Imp. Slam. After that it’s an easy walk up to BT. When you hit 40 some people argue that you should resp MS. I advise you not to. I strongly believe that Imp. Slam + Flurry with the cational BT weaved in is alot better DPS than MS + Impale + Weapon sp. After you get BT youan easily walk up the arms tree and get Imp. for easier instaing, but if you’re more of a solo kinda guy it’s better to go for Rampage. Note that 2h Arms doesn’tomelose to being as good as 2h Fury until level 64, when you get MS AND Imp. Slam. However, even then it’s agruable that Flurry makes up for the damage gap from BT to MS. To all of you who assume fury = dual wield: STANDORRTED! THIS IS NOT THEASE!

Hello, Seems to be my week for asking questions about blessings. I’m trying to wrap my head around this and I’ve been googling. Sifting through WoWheadomments. Looking bk a few pages here. Ian’t seem to find aolusive answer. I’m leveling retribution on my sond paladin and just hit 68. I’m playing mostly solo with the casional instae group Ian manage to get into. In this situation, not raiding, no heros. Whh is overall better for a ret paladin? Improved might or Kings (full 5 points)? I’m starting to think divine strength + kings would have ne synergy but overall would I be doing better damage in solo5-mansleveling? This is a build I’m toying with right now for level 70 (pked a ne round number sie I’m almost there) wowheadom?talent=sZaxZVf0toIMspzAo
For personal DPS, Imp Might is better than Kings until you have around 3k Strength. A bit less, bause of Agility, but still far more than youan get. You pk up Kings in your sp later bause it’s better for mostasters, and sometimes you’ll run with another pally or a warrior who battle shouts. I’d suggest not putting points in it until you’re above 70. I took it from 75-80, myself. It’s really not a great blessing. Far overrated.

Thank you for your input. I’m guessing Ian understand from a pure dps persptive the advantage of might. However, the extra 10% intellt, stamina, and agility (=dodgecrit) seem tempting. I do plan on grabbing kings at some point. Just trying to determine whether its solely utility or a marked improvement over might.
