New blog post up about the tooltip for Shield Slam not reflecting the 20% damage boost from Gladiator Stance. Just a text bug. No worries, Gladiators. http://www.somnsucks.com/blog/2014/12/25/bug-shield-slam-tooltip-damage

That's a good catch! I'll update the weakauras page. I didn't even think about that, thanks!

The more crit you have the better you can cleave, so that marks crit as king for Fury as usual. On top of that, as has been previously mentioned, Highmaul has 1 item for each slot excluding trinkets rings and cape. So there's no real way to choose your gear. You'll be taking what you can.

I believe i got all the videos updated with lower music volume with the exception of the talents/glyphs video as I didn't have them recorded on separate channels. Working on it I promise! or maybe napping.... or maybe not!

I can't speak on the fury part, but for gladiator get rid of that pillar of earth trinket for a strength trinket. The fact that bonus armor gives attack power is key for Gladiators. But more importantly you want trinkets with both strength AND bonus armor so you can doubledip and get attack power from both. You'd gain more damage from the second trinket you talked about as Gladiator because it has more strength as well as multistrike (versatility is poop until later tiers most likely). For managing rage/procs/cds I would personally recommend my weakauras, cause that's what I use and it's s

As I've said numerous times... I'm going to rerecord them! The audio was fine on my end and I can still hear it pretty clearly but its probably my speakers. Sorry about all that but jeez, I get it already! Figured out the problem... I went back into my actual files and it was automatically adjusting gain for some reason. I'll have them all fixed shortly apologies for the inconv-ear-nience!

You shouldn't ever delay a Shield Slam, even if it's to line it up with a Shield Charge. If anything use the Shield Slam and resume your Devastate spam and hope for a Sword and Board proc. Revenge is a small enough part of your damage that you're far better off simply using Shield Charge when you can fit Shield Slam in it, regardless of where revenge is at. Never delay a Shield Slam, they make up a huge portion of your damage as well as generate rage. Revenge is a small portion of your damage comparably and shouldn't be worried about too much when trying to line up a Shield Charge.

Ah that's not a stupid question at all! The reason that it's at the top of the list is it's essentially a flat 30% boost and when its off cooldown you should be looking to make good use of it. I typically line it up with a Shield Charge buff window and that seems to do the trick, generally. 11-12 is definitely low (don't even think about Heroic Butcher!!), but it'll get higher the more you play Gladiator. It's one of those specs where you have to make a split second decision depending on a number of different factors and only gets better the more comfortable you are.

...That's the definition of the lesser of four evils though! The least bad of the rest of the stats >.< haste is good but not currently worth gearing for extensively past 330, multistrike is fancy n shiny, versa is meh, and mastery is very meh. Haste and multistrike are the lesser of four evils. Although, if I had it my way, I'd just have 330 haste and double crit rolls on everything...But that's not exactly feasible :(
