So I've noticed the rotation page hasn't been updated to the recent talent changes, namely Galactic Guardian. It says (at time of this post) to prioritize GG procs over everything else for the 15 rage it used to generate. My question is now that it generates the same amount of rage as a gore proc'd Mangle, where does it sit in the priority list now?

Will gore procs take its place? or will the priority remain unchanged?

Thanks in advance.

Fair question, I'm not entirely sure, honestly. I'll forward this to our writer/reviewer and see if we can get it updated if need be. Will let you know - thanks!

Despite the tooltip, it is not a direct correlation. You won't get +5% crit = +5% dodge. Also, remember that Dodge does nothing against a huge amount of damage that is incoming during raid encounters.

i am having a rough time tanking, this being the first expansion that i have actually had trouble with suvivability in general. im wondering why, if crit affect dodge why its ranked so low on the list of stats. i would think it should go vers crit mastery or at the very least vers mastery crit. currently i am 858ilvl with 23% vers 15% mastery and only 13% dodge.

i am only the OT in our raids and i just take so much more damage than out Blood DK MT. his ilvl is somewhere in the high 870s so i'm chalking it up to that at the moment but it seems like i take double if not 3 times as much damage as he does. i use FR almost on CD and i keep up ironfur and mark of ursol(when needed), use weapon CD, barkskin, and SI when i need to but there's only so much you can do to mitigate damage. 

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/emerald-dream/Reyõko/advanced link to my Armory if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

For stuff like this, we can't help you without looking at a log. Your armoury can't really tell us anything important -  a log gives us a direct look at your uptimes, usage etc.

The best thing to do would be to post a log to the Druid forum so that people can look through it and give you a helping hand.

As for Dodge and Crit, it's simply just worse than the other stats. Haste is better since it gives you more rage, which means more usages of your AM abilities. This is a lot better than a small chance at one attack being dodged.

Super late, but the DMF trinket is pretty crazy powerful due to the armour interaction with your skills!

thanks for the late response. However as far as I know DMF does not interact with ironfur?

From what I remember, it no longer interacts with your Ironfur, but is still affected by any +Armour in your artifact traits.

I am curious as to why have most of the top bears I look at, have a ton of crit and quite low mastery and vers?

I am curious about this as well. Is it simply because they are prioritizing dps over higher survivability?

I do know that higher crit helps with the aggro issues but I am more curious about why list the stat priority one way and then have everyone else, including the reviewer, stack the shit out of crit? haha

Because obtaining Vers gear is incredibly difficult, given that barely any drops in raids. You have to be super lucky to get it to TF high enough. 

They still do gem for Vers, as seen in Justwait's armoury, they are just taking higher item level pieces and skipping out on the Versatility, since it eventually does become less useful when there is a massive item level gap. This gap does depend on the gear in question, stats available, how much each stat you have, etc. etc.

The guides are currently being updated for 7.1.5! I just wanted to leave a few notes for all of our users that might be getting ready to leave a comment:

  • Some pages do not require updates. The "Last Updated" stat does not mean the page is out of date, it might just not have needed any changes. If you feel that it does, leave a comment telling us what needs changing and why.
  • The process will not happen immediately - some guides will be updated faster than others simply due to the number of resources available. Be patient, they'll be ready when you need them!
  • There might be some continuity errors when making small adjustments to large guide pages. If you do find one of these, just let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed ASAP.
  • "Why have you not taken into account X buff to X ability?" - remember, just because something got buffed, it doesn't mean it is now automatically better than the other options!

As always, we want to thank you all for being patient while we get things updated and I'm always available to help you all if you need it :)

Would be cool to add some further details to Versa vs Mastery (Mastery cap at 8000/10000).

See explanations here:

And also this Google doc:

Will definitely pass this on to the writer, thanks!

So  see we lost displacer beast as a talent and it says it's baseline now.  So that leads me to believe it's a base skill, however I can't find it to save my life; am I missing something?

Don't think you're missing anything, it's not in my spellbook either. Honestly I don't quite think it has become baseline since it's still a talent for Feral and Resto.. Correct me if I'm wrong though! :)

I noticed I missed to mention Resto spec

Where are you seeing it becoming baseline? I believe it was just removed for Bear.

  • A new talent, Intimidating Roar Icon Intimidating Roar, has been added in place of Displacer Beast, which is now a baseline ability.

Front page, #3, Patch 7.1.5 Changes. I came here wondering about that too. It's still a talent, but only for non-Guardian specs.

Nice one! I'll get this reported to the writer, it looks like it was indeed just removed for Guardian and that this is wrong.

Just a thought:

IF there is a mastery hard cap, then maybe it is desirable to reach it by mark of the trained soldier, that has been buffed (double value) with 7.1.5.

Maybe it's even a feasible alternative in certain situations w/o consindering the possibility of any hard caps.

Also: The values in the spreadsheet provided should be out of date now since the numbers needed for 1% have been changed, right?

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
