    Hi everybody,

    http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...bbycake/simple

    I'd like to breath some life back into this thread, Im having trouble making my dps count in certain fights. So i'd like one of you who has some exp playing balance to see if there is anything obviously wrong with my stat prio.

    My rotation from start is 75 Solar energy, pre pot, starsurge, Incarnation + NV + Beserking, Starfall, dots, wrath to 0 energy then celestial alignment. Rinse and repeat.

    Also can i have an idea as to what to do on Quick aoe? is it just hurricane? I dont see great results that way.

    Anyway, thanks in advance for your help.

    Etapic - Your character looks golden, I dont know much about ferals, the only thing is the str enchant on your hands... probably something I dont know about so I will leave you with a happy 9/10 :P

    You are a bit over the Hit cap, you might wanna use Reforgelite or wowreforge.com to fix it. You are correctly at 2p haste breakpoint. You can also replace the haste gems in wowreforge.com with crit+spirit/hit ones and test if you can gain crit or if it's lost anw in reforging to breakpoint. Free vs testing ingame :P

    I thought by 75 Solar energy you meant 1 cast before Lunar, but by saying "wrath 0" it suggests that you start 1 cast from Solar? That is not the optimum way to start a fight.

    AC to -1 cast from LUNAR
    Prepot
    Starfall
    Wrath (NOT Starsurge)
    -Lunar Eclipse-
    Incarnation+NV
    Starsurge
    Spam Starfire, SS and Starfall when first drops
    Spam Starfire, SS
    CA at 0 energy
    Moonfire
    SSpam Starfire, SS and Starfall when second drops
    Normal eclipse cycles

    For fast aoe, Hurricane buffed with NG is awesome

    thanks for this!

    yeah I usually started one cast from solar, ok so I'll switch that around, so i get 3 starfalls in a row nice. I'll give it a try, and also look at stat help. Many thanks!

    Do i forget about mastery? and go for max crit after hit cap and haste breakpoint?

    http://wowreforge.com/Profiles/53547...1,Mastery:1.65

    So something like this??

    I had been resto, but am now raiding as moonkin. Any opinions on my gear/gemming would be appreciated.

    I have been using the rotation Juvencus posted up top.

    Edit : Nvm. Something was off with your enchants and I got different results.

    Basically you want the default Hit settings it gives (at least 5100) then because you have 2p you add a Haste cap of 5273 and then in the next boss make it 1.8 after cap so it's worth lower than crit but higher than mastery.

    Youre not gemming correctly dude, whenever you can put 320 crit gem and whenever you cant put int/crit or hit/crit.
    Forge rest to haste cap and crit. 4set would help you to raise your crit a lot (you probably was not lucky enough to obtain it)

    so its 6/10 to give you room to improve

    my armory here
    (not sure which spec I will be logged off - I am actively playing resto, balance and guardian, but if you will see me in guardian gear, dont take it serious - meant for soloing and fun. )

    ^^ not a transmog thread, so nothing to rate

    Here is mine:

    (maybe gemming is little bit weird, but i like that Int gem in my MH just for the look :-) )

    Hey Natic, nice to see you here :-D

    Giving you 9/10, that 1 minus is because you have transferred !

    Your blue bracers hurt my eyes, Ysoph, though luck with loot I guess (I lost my boots and bracers to a rogue x_x, haven't seen those since). But nvm.

    I do have a question (maybe the gemming for HC raids is bit different), but why didn't you get crit+expertise gem for red socket?

    I wold say 9.5/10 as you left me wondering over the gemming

    Guardian is my 2nd offspec, main gear is Resto/Balance, unfortunately I am logged off in guardian. I have bear just for soloing, sometimes running dungeons and lfr when I am bored.. So what I have on is just a rubbish which nobody wanted, dont take that setup seriously please But anyway, crit/exp might be good idea, I am making myself a note and will have a look once I will log in, thanks for tip.

    I really like your transmog (but I am also wondering if 320 crit would not be better choice for weapon gem ?) - you have my 10/10

    It would, but since I share the staff with my feral set, then I sadly have to use the agility gem in it (I do have 2 extra Sha touched wep x_x, but I just don't have the gold to buy the socket and new gem).

    just buy agi and crit gems and regem whenever needed :-) those gems are pretty cheap nowadays. as I am actively using 3 specs you wouldnt believe how much respecs, regems and reforges I am doing weekly :-) Sometimes 5+ times during a raid

    Ysoph, nothing wrong with your setup.

    I guess some unlucky drops in TOEs have left you without the trinket but other than that 9/10

    http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...bbycake/simple

    Made some changes, want to know if I am currently optimally gemmed and reforged, can a pro let me know??? I know im slightly over haste cap and hit cap, but this is the closest I can get. Would love to see if anyone else can see a better way.

    My primary focus at the moment is getting the 4 set so I can drop the haste! but until then I am stuck with it.

This may also allow additional reforging options for better stat optimisation
    3) I recommend taking nature's swiftness over renewal for the shorter 1 min CD and the fact it can be used for i) instant combat ress ii) instant healing touch (+50% extra healing) which can save you or a raid members life as I have done countless times this patch
    4) [Minor Point] I also recommend switching glyph of innervate with glyph of rebirth so your combat ress brings someone back to life with 100% HP (saves healers mana and those moments where people ress into bad stuff) and as moonkins we do not need the mana in most cases as reaching a new eclipse restores a lot of mana which we can easily reach via our rotation or astral communion where needed

    Some minor points here and there, nothing game breaking but still significant nonetheless. Overall, 9/10 and a very solid moonkin

    Thank you, very useful! I will make the changes and see how I fair.

    Thanks again

    Can i ask why you have 6K haste? i thought once you get the 4 set the haste breakpoint goes down to 3K - ish??

    The breakpoint once we obtain our 4p is indeed 3706 haste. However, haste is still a more preferable stat. in 5.1 compared to mastery so it is better to reforge away the mastery into haste, remember it still reduces the cast time of our spells which is beneficial.

    Stat Priority: Intellect > Hit | Spirit (until 5101 cap) > haste ( up to breakpoint) > crit > haste (after breakpoint) > mastery
