Hello you wonderfully critical types on Wowhead.
I feel like I've plateau'd. At around 12k dps. Sometimes a little under.
I was just wondering if any of ya'll folk might have some direction to share? Now, I know the belt is spirit, but I had the JP one, so its a minor upgrade, and no one really needed it. Little ilvl and int padding.
I don't tend to have mana issues, and I hardly, if ever, use my mana gem, tbh.
I run with a friend's guild, at least for a while, that is on "slow" (only on Reg difficulty atm) progression. Working on Atramedes, got him to 13% tonight, and might get to BoT council tomorrow. So basically 4 of the BWD, and 2 of the BoT. At least what I've done with them.
Tonight's run:
Blood DK
Bear Druid
Boom Druid
Tree Druid
Demo Lock
Priest (runs both heal spec)
Holydin
Warrior (cant remember 1 or 2 weap)
Hunter (don't know his spec)
And me of course.
I feel like I'm slipping or doing something very wrong. Feel like I should get around to getting PA for ability watch, but i don't think thats all of it.
If you have enchant suggestions, can't afford Maelstroms. Otherwise, they are welcome.
I just feel like I'm not putting out my best. Don't have Volcanic Pots , though I'll have to remember to make some before tomorrow's raid time. Do run with Severed Sagefish ( the 90 int food) and Draconic Mind flask though.
Ty for your time.

It is in his sig.
If you are not already using it get the addon, Combustion Helper.
If you are not using mana gems/evo then you need to be casting more fire balls, you are losing DPS.
Try to get a friend to make you breeches of mended nightmares, dreamless belt and enchant cloak with greater int. Get rid of the +40 hit gem and put a +40 int/+20int +20hit gem in its place. Get rid of the haste enchant on your gloves and put a +hit enchant in its place. For a main hand get a friend that isnt worried about ratings and do 2 weeks of arenas and get the vicious main hand, it will be a nice 200+sp bonus sacrificing little if any stats.
Do as many BOT trash runs as you can before you are locked for the week to try and get the epic bracers.
Lastly, what does your single target/boss rotation look like?

Just looked at your glyphs! Get rid of living bomb and put glyph Molten Armor. Make sure you are using Molten Armor at all times, except on adds like during magmaw for example...I switch to Mage Armor.

Try and reforge/regem away that 0.12% hit, that's just wasted stats. Don't forget to tinker and/or enchant your cloak. We're at the same gear level and doing roughly the same DPS. The only thing that can really boost me is getting better geared, and I think the same goes for you. You can either get someone to make you the pants or wait until you get the VP and buy the
Firelord's Leggings
.
Here
is the Rawr that's on EJ. I don't know if you use it or not, but it should help making gearing choices.

Thanks for reminding me about the cloak, I forgot I enchanted the old one XD.
You say I need to cast more fireballs, but that's all I'm doing when I'm standing still.
Open with Critical Mass. (sometimes hard cast pyro as the tank is positioning, like with Atramedes.)
Living Bomb
Fireball.
Refresh Living Bomb after detonation.
Hot Streak as I see em. I try to delay a half second for Munching issues.
Though my timing does get a little off, but not 4k deeps behind the rest of the guys I'm running with.

The only way to do more deeps as I see it, is to get better gear. I do the same rotation and with the same Item Level and end up with around the same dps, dependent on RNG of course. For now Its competitive DPS but when running with others who have much better gear I see where the problem is.

I am using mana gems like crazy and evo on CD and sometimes pots to not go oom. So I don't know man. All though I went with haste instead of crit, I am at 12.6% haste with NWP and no buffs. Do around 14-15k DPS on average and 17-18k DPS with the rng gods on my side with flask and buff food.

Yeah, as I sit here in Org I have 9.5% haste, or a 2.28 sec cast time. And 26.2% crit (rounded).
There is the point I should add that I have the Int Tinker on gloves (480 int every minute for like 10 seconds) that I usually hit after the first fireball and use Belf Torrent, same time I hit my Flame Orb. Or at least I try, and usually I can hit torrent a couple times and not really worry about mana. There's only occasionally been fights where Evo has been even close to needed, most recent memory was Chimaeron, burned it during stack phase for a little healing help.
And dear god am I sick of these shoulders >.>

Wierd, its not picking up the tinkers that are there... (belt and gloves).
*Saving myself from double posting. And now from triple post.*
Says I should be around 15.7k deeps. But then again my raid last night had pretty bad lag spikes. I know I was somewhere between 500 and 1k ms on both home and world measures. At least I think I'm using Rawr right. And in terms of gear I had seen most of what it's telling me coming. I just have to get lucky in raids. =/
Something occurs to me. I do have enough haste right? When you account for Boomkin?

You only need 516 points in haste to hit 12.5% haste in raids with buffs. So with your raid composition I would say you are above 12.5%. I have been known to be wrong before so more knowledgeable peeps can chime in.

Hmmm, I think I was forgetting about Combustion a lot.
With help of Storyr's export and CH actually like reminding me to use it, i pulled 14.3k on Twin Drakes in BoT, as opposed to Lock's 12.9k. ^^

Nice man, hope we helped.

Don't forget that Rawr has all the best buffs you can get, including the extra 3% damage all kind of spell power, haste and crit buffs from the different class abilities. If you still have them checked but those aren't present in your raid group then the dps won't be matching.
Boom Druid - 5% haste, same as Shadow Priests
Hunter (don't know his spec) - can add 3% damage if BM specced, same as Arcane Mages.
You're missing out a 5% crit from
, 3% from
and there are probably others that can help you out.
Thats one of the reason that 25m are better since you get a lot more buffs.

And tougher, but I'm pretty sure I got it to run the sim with the proper buffing.
Cobra shot is MM right? And there are hunters that raid MM? And the guilds I find are smaller, 10s are more common, even as pugs, though you can sacrifice a lot more on 25s.
