I have Ursoc's Rending Paw.  The bleed proc definitely sucks but it does have the static strength on it.  I use it cause mine's Heroic Titanforged to ilvl 895 so it has 1875 strength on it.  Can't be that bad  at that ilvl, right?

I'm sure with such a high proc and so much Strength, it must be worth something, yeah.

I don't understand what other trinkets do you have ? It's a known thing that the Ursoc's trinket proc is garbage but in your case the strength you have on it probably outscales everything else.

Hi Tegu,

So on the PTR, the 4 part bonus of our tier set was changed to generate wounds instead of bursting them: http://ptr.wowhead.com/item-set=1281/dreadwyrm-battleplate

What's your opinion on this? How big a difference do you think the UH set bonuses are gonna make in general?

I actually like it a lot because we are swimming in Runic Power and we can easily pop the Festering Wounds but building them is a problem especially with the random element of Castigator so in my opinion that change is better for us.

Don't have and not using pawn.

Update: Apparently when we did PTR today with my guild i found that Soul Reaper is changed (7.1) so that if you have Festering Wounds on the target  plus Soul reaper when it dies you get the haste buff based on your Festering Wound procs (capped at 3 obviously)

Thanks for the answer Tegu!

Another question:

Is it true, that the stat rates change as soon as you get the legendary bracer? 

(so crit is no longer top but mastery now for that or something like that)

I heard something like that from a raid mate.

Cya!

That happens only if you switch to Unholy Frenzy for whatever reason then you don't need to stack crit but i think Castigator is still better since it's easy to pop the FW's but  dificult to stack them fast enough especially without Castigator. Don't have the bracers so cant test it.

& 855 memento

Any advice on which two to use. Im thinking arcano and terrorbound nexus but im not rly sure. 

Currently 878 ilvl 33% crit 18% haste 59% master with arcano and nexus equipped.

In the most recent PTR build, death coil damage is buffed by 50%: http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/6045-Hallow-s-End-Patch-7-1-PTR-Build-22864-WoW-Cookbook-Battleground-Event

First of all, how big of a difference do you think this will make? Secondly, if this change goes through, do you think it'll be worth it to get Deadliest Coil in the artifact weapon before going Deadly Durability -> Double Doom?

Terrobound Nexus is good only for mythic + imo  go with Arcanocrystal and not sure about the 2nd one probably Nightmare Shell.

How big ? i don't know you can easily check your death coil damage done add the 40-50% more damage you will eventually be getting from it and see the results for yourself. Not sure about the traits but Deadliest Coil might be better unless you are playing Dark Arbiter. Either way people are gonna have probably both Double Doom & Deadliest Coil by then.

This has likely been asked before, but regarding the castigator build stat priority: where does haste drop to in value after the soft cap? Below Mastery? Below versa? Also, are there any further soft caps up higher?

In addition, been reading some comments that critical strike drops in value after 30% and if so, does the priority change after that 'soft cap' of sorts?

Hello fellow DK's and theorycrafters. 

So right now im confused, when we have a proc of Scourge of Worlds (bonus SS damage). 

  • is it actually worth to overcap runic power and keep spamming SS?
  • even without wounds on the target?
  • if we sit on 18% haste cap, and stack crit (around 35%), aren't haste-proc-trinkets worth more in case we're soft-capped? those mini-bloodlusts, i even catch myself sometimes having more than 100% haste and sqeezing 2 CD's in a second when i have Chrono-shard + soul reaper procs + BL up. 

those few questions that really bother me. Please share your thoughts. You're doing great job here, appriciate.

Once you get 18-19% haste the value drops and everything else gets better pmuch. I don't think that crit values drop at 30 % you need more because of Castigator.

I think you missed the part saying that those stat weights are for Clawing Shadows, we should probably remove them since Clawing Shadows is garbage and seems like people get confused.

1) Sometimes you will overcap Runic Power but it's fine as long as you have Festering Wounds to back up the Scourge of Worlds.

2) Don't SS without FW

3) Depends what your trinkets are looking like but there's nothing wrong with having let's say Chrono Shard for example in general there's better trinkets like Arcanocrystal, Darkmoon but also depends of the item level of your trinkets etc.

Yeah i'm going through all dungeons & Mythic raids because the gear you might get from Mythic + is probably better than the one in EN. I will try to put it by the end of the week.

I have two items that would change my crit/haste % and I'm confused which is better:

  • option A would get me 28% crit 18% haste
  • option B would get me 32.28% crit 14.47% haste

Which option should I go with ?

Note: castigator/si/soul reaper build

3.3. Army of the Dead

Army of the Dead Icon Army of the Dead summons a number of ghouls to fight at your side for a short while. It has a high Rune cost, but it also deals a lot of damage. You can use it before the pull, but if you require high burst damage during the fight it is perfectly acceptable to channel it during combat.

 

I've tested, and AotD no longer acts as a channel. (Tried moving while the buff was at 3 sec, and using Death and Decay, Outbreak, amongst others, without a reduction in the number of ghouls) Perhaps clarify the wording (by removing 'channel') so that it doesn't cause confusion in some people?

Seriously from everything in the guide that could have been pointed out  you are picking on the word channel ? 

It will be updated thanks for your feedback.

Hello Tegu and thanks for your great guide.

It's my first time i write here and i would really need ur help...

I feel like i am underperforming to our raids and i really don't know why.. 

Do i need more mastery? cause as i search around dks most of them have around 40%-50% and have lower crit than me and performing better... i thought crit is the way to go.

Any suggestions would be amazing.

 

Here is my log from yesterday's Nythendra Mythic kill: Geddya's log

And here is my armory: Link

Thanks in advance!!

      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.

    • By Starym
      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.
