    That is actually not a correct statement. Mastery is a pretty important stat in 10 man when you are running a two heal setup and especially when neither healer is an absorb healer.

    Okay sooo reading some of the comments but wasn;t haste good for us?

    And then i've been using a mastery build and found it rather nice..Just LFR for now but with all the bitching there and crappy people and my own mistakes yeah..Mastery helps....


    Anyways am i right in guessing one reason crit builds are considered so good is so you can keep elusive brew up more?

    Sorry for all the questions was away from the game for several months.

    Not as derpy as when i got into LFR on lei Shen(first time fighting him) and accidentally Flying Dragon Kicked RIGHT OFF the damn platform..Bad keybind LOL.

    Ironically the guy wanted to kick me for "sucking"(fist time no real explanation of fight) when the third time i took less damage and didn't die unlike alo of others LOL.

    But that was as WW..LFR is so fucking toxic i que as dps and volunteer to tank if one leaves alot of the time now.

    we finally killed horridon tonight and i went from full crit > haste > mastery to mastery>crit>haste setup and it was godlike. the incoming dmg is only hight near the end of that fight. my dmg after all wasn't that good. only place 2nd after our dk tank (he took horridon at the end) trinkets was RoR and the mastery bottle with dodge hc 0/2 (that elegon thing) now i'm in love with that mastery setup. but i know stuck between the blood talisman and the ji kun rising winds. the expertise is nice to have but that procc is kinda meh. but on the other hand, sunniers blog sais, it's ok to put it in. so is here any BrM with a Mastery Setup and can give some advice?

    Besides the fact that EB is awesome it also ties into our 2P to the point where ideally you want EB to be up 50% of the time your tanking so you can get the +12% Shuffle the other half. This is without even considering you can do cancel on EB to get the buff for timed events like Triple Puncture and Talon Rake.

    Got our 2nd kill 25m last night using a crit build, still don't feel like I need to focus on mastery. Only issues I had was around Dire Call (especially if TP lines up with it) and think that was mostly due to healers getting distracted topping off raid.

    Once we started using our 3m CD's or calling for a Pain suppression or something that cleared up. Just got to focused on thinking it was the later stacks of TP I needed those CD's for. Haven't had any issues myself on Ji-Kun either taking Talon Rake way beyond 2 stacks. You have a higher iLevel than me currently (I haven't picked all my upgrade slots yet) so just curious how badly you felt it was needed to go mastery heavy.

    Last time we attempted heroic horridon I felt very comfortable during enrage with a 519 crit heavy setup, but our healers are getting distracted by dire call for some reason, more attempts getting to that phase should do the trick.

    I put two prismatic sockets on both weapons. You know second legendary quest items from Wrathion. What do I put here? I capped both expertise and hit. So that leaves crit and haste, but I think I reached enough haste aka over 6000. So should I put pure crit or agil? Isn't agil same as crit but with plus attack power?

    Well there's my problem i only have one piece from the new tier.

    I've pugged the first normal bosses tonight and i dropped a totally unplanned Bad Juju.

    Now, even if is just normal, should i swap my SPA valor trinket (530) with this one?

    I know, bad valor points management, but i really gave up on that trinket, thought it wouldn't drop ever.

    Crit gem > agi gem, since you get 320 crit from one gem vs. 160 agi from one gem.

    Maybe i felt it was better for our raidsetup since we ran with 1 disci and 1 mistweaver. But i will try ist again net week with crit again. Or maybe our heal just sucks?

    Guides mostly fine still, but 10 second lowdown:

    10N/H/25N: Crit>Haste>Mastery, 7.5 hitcap and exp closer and closer to 15 as you gear up, 7.5 is a good midpoint for being able to swap to WW
    25H: Mastery>Crit>Haste, same hit/exp rules as above

    Keg Smash lots, Blackout kick lots, tigers palm in unused GCDs, use minor/major CDs in accordance with boss mechanics where the benefit is evident.

    Don't be a noob.

    Done!

    I believe that my emotions have a significant role in how I feel about this change but I have problems with seeing why to take any other tank then paladin for raids when this thing will go live.

    So even in 25N it's the 10n gemming? Asking because my guild is considering merging with another for 25mans for some reasons, and I thought we'd have to be prioritizing mastery...

    Still undecided about RoRo could use a hand =P I did search both here and on google/ej but seems to wildly vary from "it sucks terribly" to "best thing ever done for tanks", kinda hard to decide right now with this feedback xD

  18. #3498
    I'am below 510 ilvl. Should I reforge errything i can asides Hit/exp/soft haste cap into Crit? Crit gems and such? Also 10 man.

  19. #3499
    i have a 522 staff from horridon, i was wondering if DW RF weps is a loss or not, id rather DW for more EB gain and was wondering if its to big of a loss.

    Do the math. We usually have 600k HP when raid buffed. 30% of 600k = 180k. How often are you over 180k vengeance without using gimmicks such as point blank Decapitate soaking or standing in the fire?

    If you're playing as intended, your DPS won't be nerfed at all.

    Hit and expertise are mostly personal preference, I believe. They're useful, and it's generally recommended to go for the 7.5%/7.5% caps (as that makes dual speccing WW easier), but going beyond those are debateable. Try it out and see how you feel.

    Once you have your personal preferences for hit/exp/haste sorted out, extra stats should indeed go into crit for 10 mans.

    Dual wielding isn't more EB stacks. You get the same amount with either DW or 2H; all that changes is how you get those stacks, either in a steady stream of 1 per proc or lumps of 2-3.

    As such, go for the higher ilevel weapon, since dual wielding is only really better when comparing weapons of the same ilevel. A 20 ilevel gap is pretty big, so go for the 2 hander.

    Mastery is used for heroic progression, primarily whilst undergeared. If you're doing normal modes, you never need mastery, even if 25 man. 25 man heroic modes may have more use for it.

    Still undecided about RoRo could use a hand =P I did search both here and on google/ej but seems to wildly vary from "it sucks terribly" to "best thing ever done for tanks", kinda hard to decide right now with this feedback xD
    People seem to worry about losing all their haste, but they seem to forget that you still have 11 ER at base, without talents or gear. 11 ER is enough to keep Shuffle up and Guard used on CD assuming perfect play, and even if you don't play perfectly then you should have some Shuffle banked anyway. The proc will give you tons of crit, tons of EB, and a healthy DPS boost (or tons of mastery if geared that way, which definitely has its uses). You may have to change how you play a little (ensuring you have Shuffle uptime banked, you save 2 Chi for a Guard, etc.), but overall it's a good trinket for us.

    The problem was when it was first data-mined and didn't double the zero'd stats. Back then it was pretty awful, but now it's definitely worthwhile. The perception of it doesn't seem to have updated though.

    Bear in mind that it's going to go live in 5.4 at this rate, with entirely new boss designs. Blizzard have also acknowledged that the current issues with Paladins (the HoP/Divine Shield clearing stacks of debuffs thing) are not intended, so chances are very high that we're not going to see Paladins go crazy OP or anything.

    Also see my prior statement on the matter. If you're playing as intended, your DPS won't get nerfed in the slightest.

    Brewmasters haven't changed much at all since launch. There've been minor things here and there (primarily in the 5.1 patch), but since then we really haven't changed much. So this guide is fine.
