From a quick glance I can see a few things that you did 'wrong' on your butcher kill. - More execute, 2 times is way too little. - Seeing as Butcher is a single target fight you should be using Bloodbath instead of bladestorm. I'm sure there's someone here who is more knowledgable but maybe this'll help :).

Had my first raid yesterday and my single target DPS is just very very very very bad. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong either (arms). I use Colossus Smash whenever I can, spam Mortal strike and Execute when it procs and just use all my cooldowns all the time. One thing I wasn't doing was pre-potting, does this really make such a big difference? To give you an example, on Kargath or Butcher I was doing 12k-14k DPS which was way below par.

I was referring to the issues the OP was having, where I have loot spec set to Protection but am still getting Arms loot :)

I've been having the same issues. Playing as arms and have gotten zero pieces with Bonus Armor so far. 10+ drops so far.

I remember Sottle from his ScoreHero days, nice to see you again friend :D

I've found this on reddit last week, might be helpful:

Thanks everyone for the pointers :)

In the past I've leveled a few characters and have always been somewhat of a hardcore raider. Clearing all content in the expansion as soon as possible and raiding a lot. I've taken some breaks inbetween when I grew tired of the game. At the start of MoP I leveled a monk to 90 as fast as possible and quickly found the class very boring. I felt no real connection to the character so to say and didn't like the skills very much. I wanted to try tanking but it was just not my thing, I didn't like the dps or healing mechanics either. Back to current day, I leveled a rogue to level 90 this weeke

Thank you for the information, I will be putting this to use once I get a little more gear :)

As of last sunday I dinged level 90. I was looking forward to tanking so I specced into brewmaster straight away. I looked at the guides on the site regarding tanking and felt that I knew all I needed to know. Was I surprised... Bosses weren't the problem. It was the trash packs, I take so much damage that healers have a lot of trouble keeping me up. I know that after dinging recently and queuing right away as tank I wasn't going to optimum route but I wasn't expecting the damage to be this bad. What is the most important ability to get going on the pull? I open up with Keg Smash and getti

Newly dinged 90 monk ^_^

Thanks ^_^

Still the best site around :)

I would like to thank the entire team of Icy Veins and the rest of the community for the effort everyone put together to make this site as awesome as it is today. I have been looking for a site like this ever since I started playing WoW, after giving up on the game at the start of Cataclysm I figured I should give MoP a chance. Your guides have helped me tremendously in both picking a class to play and discovering how to play the classes as well. I know that once my character reaches level 90 I will continue to use your guides for the different events and raid guides. I finally have an awes
