    Gear Critique

    My Dps in raids always seems to be lackluster, getting there but still a fair margin below the melee dps. From reading other posts it just seems like I need to stack more haste and spell power, although I do think I have more crit than most mages that ive seen. Anyway any advice you might have would be much appreciated.

    Looks fine tbh, but a few comments:

    Lacking some haste. I'd aim for at least 500 as ttw/fire.

    Assuming you have sp or boomkin you are 2% over the hitcap.

    Your crit is nothing out of the ordinary.

    You should be aiming for a sub 2 2.5 second fireball.

    Get more haste.

    The reason I have so much hit is because the boomkin and the SP in my guild are pretty spotty as far as attendance goes, also the people in my guild are loot whores and will bid up the DKP on anything that is even a slight upgrade.

    Get some pieces you can swap in and out depending on whether you need the extra hit.

    lolwut? that's a metric shit ton of haste bro.

    let's see here:

    1.99= (3)/(1+(x/100))
    1.99(1+(x/100))=3
    1+(x/100)=3/1.99
    1+(x/100)=1.5075
    x/100=0.5075
    x=50.75%

    you'd need 50.75% haste to reach a sub 2 second fireball, which is 1664 haste rating.

    1+(x/100)=3/1.99

    x/100=0.5705
    x=57.05%

    you'd need 57.05% haste to reach a sub 2 second fireball, which is 1871 haste rating.
    Hmm.

    ((3/2)-1)*3279 = 1639,5 Haste rating (50% haste)

    To check it using your formula:
    (3)/(1+50/100)) = 2

    I might be wrong tho. My math isnt that good. :

    Obviously I meant sub 2.5 which is common knowledge. I'd have hoped you of all people would have recognized that.
