When mobs start having enough health/dealing enough damage to force you to single/dual pull rather than mass pulling, destro does quite well for solo questing. With the daze on Conflagrate, short cast times and decent damage even without all dots I would consider destruction as the most efficient spec when pulling 1-2 targets at a time.

alchemy gives you exactly +80 int, not 60, to your int flasks, par for the course in terms of professions bonuses

Also, I updated the guide for several things in regards to 4.3/Dragonsoul that I had been meaning to get around to. As usual, any feedback is welcomed!

Can anyone confirm you want to use the 4pc on cd?

I vaguely remember people saying you always want to save your 3rd soulburn to use with your demonsoul/blood fury when ds first came out.

Thanks for this.
I've missed destro.

You use it on cooldown

As for the part about profession bonusses, i do think that lightweave embroidery gives a slightly higher bonus than the other ones. ( I might be mistaken here, feel free to correct me )

1. Tailoring – Lightweave Embroidery, averages to ~135 Intellect, an 85 intellect gain over the normal 50 intellect enchant

That was already in the guide...?

Well it read contradictory to that reply I quoted so I wondered

Great guide, thxs for sharing.

**gakpad** · 2012-01-23, 04:08 PM

In the latest version of simcraft a bug was fixed regarding the doomguard scaling with haste that will affect the value of haste. I will post a revised stay priority list as soon as I can determine one.

great guide, figured I would hop off the demo train for a while and give this a try out on H Morchok and H Hagara in our next raid

**Ichiru** · 2012-02-06, 12:52 AM

**Samnu** · 2012-02-27, 03:45 PM

Great info, thanks!

this is what i'm searching!

**Lohe** · 2012-03-20, 04:29 PM

Assuming that I only have access to LFR and craftables/VP loot the ideal off-piece would be the crafted legs, correct?

**Iluvprot** · 2012-03-20, 06:13 PM

Wrists IMO Lohe. They are sexy.

The crafted ones

Well since you can get the wrists anyway without interfering with your four piece, that's not really relevant :P

I would guess that for most gear setups restricted to LFR/craftables/VP, that the crafted legs would be your best offpiece, yes.

**Lohe** · 2012-03-20, 06:53 PM

Thanks for confirming, saves me the hassle of putting together a bunch of different sets to sim!

I already have those, I was referring to a non-tier piece for the head/shoulder/chest/hand/legs slot ^^

Hello guys!
I just wanna clear something. What is the stat prio? Because on every single forum or faq its different.
What is for sure is that int>hit (1742)> haste (...)> and here what? once crit once mastery.. which is better?
On wowreforge i ve to make everything to haste (that will be 3100) but than the crit and mastery are barely 0.
I ve read about 2681 haste for cap, so than the reforge tells shit or? If i've that haste than what should i reforge to?
eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/twisting-nether/Tyraen/simple
This is my armory. I ve still new items from late night so there are still which are not enchanted or gemmed.
Thx bb!

**gakpad** · 2012-03-30, 05:03 PM

Haste is good til 2681, and after that it's a tossup whether to continue stacking it. Simcraft is distorted by doomguard inaccurate haste scaling, so it's generally safe to switch to crit or mastery at that point.

As for which? They're both extremely close in value to the poit where it's almost personal choice, but at most gear levels today mastery is going to come out very slightly ahead. Best bet is to sim it for yourself to be sure.
