Gay.
i'm under the hit cap with around 0.25% but we have alot of shamans in my guild's raids so its not a problem, i'm always dpsing behind the boss so expertise isnt much of a problem and from my reserch the agility one meta is better, since it scales with kings, gives a bit of attack power and allows the use of nightmare's tear, which in turn i'll also be changing its place to benefit from the socket bonus in head
players cannot dodge or parry etc... from behind npcs can

Wrong, wrong and wrong.Originally Posted by riseofhonor
Since when do shamans improve your hit? they dont.
crit/3% crit dmg Meta is superior to agi, no, you dont get AP from it.
Expertise isnt much of a problem? YES it is, mobs can dodge with their backs turned, you need the cap.
''from my research'' wat, you obviously haven't done any, or you would have gotten it right from the start, and wouldnt need to ask us what to improve.
Have a nice day

Shamans do bring hit...since if your ally they have to be space goats therefore bring hit... dont be so picky

"For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."
Let's see.Originally Posted by Grievuuz
What do you have to have to activate crit meta ?
2 blue gems, let's assume one 10 all stats, and one 10str/15stam.
Same question for the agi meta.
1 blue, let's assume one 10 all stats.
What do you prefer ? 21 agi and 10 str or 21 crit and 15 stam ?
dude you make me laugh, first of all, if u even checked my armory u'd see that i'm alliance, which means the only shaman race is draenie which means 1% hit chance, second of all, my expertise is 21, yet i still finish a whole TOC raid without any dodge or parry on my heart strikes, and barely any on melee attacks,Originally Posted by Grievuuz
and last but not least, agility scales with kings, meaning it would give you more crit, and it gives a bit of armor but nothing that would really make much difference in attack power, and yes, i've done my research, and it gave me this info: crit meta gem is beneficial for unholy, while the agility one is better for blood.
Have a nice day
You're right on that. But don't forget, with some clever gemming you can take 2 of the bigger socket bonusses (6 or 8 str) so the difference will be smaller.Originally Posted by Lug
So lets see...
21 agi + (10agi+10str from all stats gem) + 6str (socket bonus) + 20str (red gem you can use because of an easier meta requirement), gives 37 agi and 36 str
21 crit + (10agi+10str from all stats gem) + 10str (from purple gem) + 2x6str (2x socket bonus) , gives 21 crit, 10 agi, 32str
Lets take an Unholy build and the value list from EJ using 245/258 gear:
str 3.07
crit 2.16
agi 1.52
Agi meta: 36*3.07 + 37*1.52 = 110.52 + 56.24 = 166.76
Crit meta: 32*3.07 + 21*2.16 + 10*1.52 = 98.24 + 45.36 + 15.2 = 158.8
So while you're basically right, you can see the difference is just 7.96 AP.
It will be a little bit more if you take BoK into the calculation, but it's still not really an important difference.
I don't care enough to do the same for 264/277 gear or for other specs, if any of you cares, go to the EJ forums and check the values and do your own math.
