I'll make sure to do it tonight Horse.

After we did 25 man yogg my 10 man group went straight to HM Vezax and downed it after a few tries. Then did yogg 4 because our stupid *** mage sent down hodir and not thorim and foiled us doing our yogg 1 plans.

By the time this was all said and done I needed to sleep so I just logged.

I did get the maul glyph if that makes you happier!

Gratz on Yogg. We're still working on 10 man. Our 25 man group is only on Thorim... >.< Why is it that I can get 10 people who don't ******* ****, but getting more than that is like...grrr.....

So I'm working like 60 hours a week and I wish I could raid. I missed 25 Ulduar's first night tonight :(.

Also, someone please look at my armory and critique my kitty gear some. Maybe tell me I'm a noob and I suck, blah blah blah....

I feel like no one in guild can catch me on dps and I'm looking for ways to improve. It's hard when you're pulling 7.1k on XT and no one else is any closer than 5.6k....

The only fight that I wasn't top dps on in the last 2 weeks of 10 mans was a thorim when I was battle-rezzing during a beam of awesomeness and the rogue got it and beat me... I even get top dps on Kologarn because I switch between the arm and the body putting up rake, mangle and rip on both...

You logged in what looks like more OT split DPS/tank duty gear so can't really say.

I'll check again later tonight in case you switch gears and see if can think of something but damn 7k is hawt for DPS.

mew mew FTW

Speaking of mew mew, I did EoE25 today.

Pulled 4k DPS before drake phase for top 2 on meters. Was #1 on drakes for a bit but lost my target on Maly and satcks fell off so I ended up as #9.

Chest of Recluse dropped a rogue beat me by 1. I out DPS'd him by 1k and he died in P2. So mad. So mad.

But ya mew mew FTW.

I'll log in my DPS gears. Doing some arena now. Finally broke 500 with a feral/holy team.

hate that so much. my warrior lost a dps ring to a much better geared blood dk who didnt do all that much more dps than me.

also, said blood dk wasnt specced for hyteria. thats like not speccing for LotP man....you just dont do that sh*t.

oh, incidentally horse, try feral with prot/holy. having an extra silence, shorter hammer CD, and generally high unkillability helps a great deal, in addition to the fact that prot/holy pallies still can add a decent chunk of burst to help you bring someone down. this also frees you up to cyclone someone to help bring someone else down in a CC chain.

I'm bored so I rolled a Druid so I could post in this thread. (There's no Bored Hunter Thread, after all. Smiley: tongue)

Srsly Feral is super fun so far, I have to wonder why anyone would play any other melee class. My hunter feels weak and squishy now, and I keep trying to to kittyform and stealth on my Warrior...

I've had a good few days. Got my 10man Sarth 3D achievement and title in a PuG zerg group and almost hit 7k dps. Then yesterday, the box of WoW trading cards I bought on EBAY turned up and I got the Spectral Tiger mount!!!! Should go buy a lottery ticket Smiley: grin

Could do Berserking on weapon, would be a boost. Massacre depending on cash reserves.

Depending on how often you FB could swing points from NI to FA.

You could lose some hit easily if the piece was a good boost elsewhere. Hit isn't uber crucial for kitties.

You are at 196 passive ArP so coming to the dark side, using the Shred idol and being evil may produce some results.

A new hat and replacing Ring of Invincibility should be top gear priorities.

Over all looking good. Nice gear man.

edit: If you still have Mirror of Truth see if using it boosts DPS. The AP proc is close and the crit may do you more good than the hit. Otherwise hat and that ring. Also if you get/have Grim Toll/Mjinor Runestone they could be sexy.

Never mind 95 is an assload of hit. Stupid armory doesn't have rating buster.

Berserking and massacre are such minimal dps increases when compared to mongoose that I haven't even bothered. Toskks DPS method is saying like...4-6 dps difference.

No one that has gone to the dark side has ever proved to me that they can do more dps than I can. (I also don't have grim toll or the mjinor trinkets) Until I see it happen, I wont switch. Might just be the caliber of the players i've seen with it, but that's a lot of money for an experiment.

Headpiece makes me cry.

Ring is meh, but I'm lucky to have it, I had a 10 man naxx ring till 2 weeks go lol.


And yeah, 95 hit rating is teh hotness.

MOAR

Ummm..

When you have Dual Spec. Don't. I repeat don't tank Uld through cat lady in your dps/PvP spec. It may work. You can do it but your healers will say something after.

Also when you tell your guild after they will laugh.

Luckily the warrior OT on Kolo cliff jumped so he got the LOL fail move of the night.

Galen you have seen teh suck of my DPS gear. I can shell out competitive DPS with it since I know what to do. BadKiity FTW.

Get Grim Toll or the Runestone. I like ArP DPS, Agi DPS works though and tbh I lucked out on getting GT. With a ArP trink + your JC you will be pushing the ArP cap. I am so into the dark side.

You can be Luke and I can be... Well I don't know. But I want the Star Wars analogy to work. So tomorrow that is everyone's homework assignment.



Side note:

I am assuming you are awesome about keeping everything up. Most druids aren't. The head, ring and minor weapon chant boost are the only things I can easily see that you can do to boost DPS. Galen you make all of us here so proud. 7k... Sh*t. Rock on.

XT's numbers are doubled thanks to the heart right? You half it to find your natural sustained value?

Yeah, XT is a *****. Heart doubles damage. Fun thing about that is I'm doing 7.1k through getting bombed because my rake and rip are still ticking while I'm running away.

If I put my stats into Toskks dps method, I get a sustained of 6.1k

My true sustained on non buffing targets seems to be in the 5.6-5.9k range although I can easily hit 6k with a few extra crits. Keep in mind, I can sustain 5.6-5.9k on a 10 man, with only 10 man buffs. :P

I'm **** about keeping up my dots and debuffs. It's the #1 reason why I can top everyone else. I made it a point to perfect the rotation/flowchart/JOHN FECKING MADDEN!

#367 Jul 23 2009 at 8:32 AM Rating: Good
Aw, and I was feeling all fuzzy about being able to sustain 3.5 (if your 7.1 was on XT that would be about equal) in 10s :P

In 25 man XT I do about 7.3k dps.

On fights that aren't gimmicky such as ignis I do a sustained 5.5-6k usually.

If I get The Lifebinder to drop from freya some day, or if I can get the 10 man hodir HM staff I'll be at something like 3200-3300 spell power raid buffed.

Consistently critting starfire for 16k while in eclipse/hero/haste pot... 1.4 second cast time is WOW.

But, if I just start wailing away on a practice dummy, mind you I can't use starfall and I don't use treants on dummies, I'll do around 4.3k self buffed.

I'm sure with treants and starfall I'd be 4.5k or more.

WTB: Moar raiding boomkins to talk dps!
#369 Jul 23 2009 at 2:45 PM Rating: Excellent
I'm in much the same position. I usually sit on about 6k or just under. I had one XT fight where I finished the fight at over 10kdps due to some sweet OOC procs and extra FB's (6/6 crits for FB in that fight Smiley: grin) during the heart phase. The World of Logs parse showed a brief peak of 30k DPS during the heart phase!

feral has been buffed to the tits in LK. it was pretty strong in BC, but once they homogenized feral gear with rogue leather, feral started to go thru the roof. add in berserk, the upgraded tigers fury, and bleed crits, and feral ranges from insanely overpowered (solo and small group stuff) to very solid (pretty much all group pve) to somewhere between balanced and overpowered (arena, depending on a number of factors).

resto still has my heart tho. nothing makes me giggle more than kiting 3-4 people around all the while giving them blue balls with well-timed heals.

And for some reason we haven't been scaled down yet, I love it!

A guild officer Naxx run last night because we were bored and half our Uld raiding team had to leave (on Freya and chipping away) so we brought alts/OS's and went on a leisurely cruise through 10 naxx.

I OS tanked, first time I've tanked anything more than H VH, I found it stupidly easy, and I am a terrible tank.

Helped that our DK MT made a macro for Gluth that just /rw "TAUNT YOU USELESS BAST**D"

I'm an integral and respected part of the team, what gave you the impression that I could be anything else?


Also Arex I've been thinking of swapping over to Boomkin on my OS for a while, looks more than insanely fun.

Yeah these are about what I see in 25s as well. On fights where I can stand perfectly still and never receive any kind of interrupts (normal mode vezax) I can eek a little higher but not much. Overall I'm pleased with my performance, I make top 10 in 25s; it's just hard to gauge comparatively because the only other kitty druid is terribad at his ability rotations, and I have no gauge whatsoever in 10s because I rarely get to go and when I do go we usually have one of our ******************* warriors or rogues on hand and they stomp me.
