That's my kitty, there are many like it, but this one is mine.

I just rolled kitty too, my main is a ret paladin and ive been raiding forever. I just have no idea what im doing as a cat, and looking to see if im going in the right direction.

No worries. Are you currently using a debuff tracker like badkitty or Droodfocus? If not, either will help. I preferr droodfocus though.

Spec is good. Change Glyph of Frenzied Regen to Glyph of Ferocious Bite.
Hit and Expertise are a little low, give the following reforging a try:

Helm - 67 crit -> exp
Neck - 44 mastery -> exp
Shoulder - 62 crit -> exp
Cloak - leave as is
Chest - 91 haste - mastery
Bracer - leave as is
Gloves - 67 haste -> mastery
Belt - 86 crit -> mastery
Legs - 66 hit - crit
Boots - 53 crit -> exp
Matoclaw's - 56 crit -> exp
Band of Ghoulish Glee - leave as is
Fluid Death - leave as is
Quicksilver - leave as is
Fandral's - 110 crit -> hit
Relic - 28 haste -> hit

Pickup Splintered Brimstone Seal for 1250 valor points and replace Band of Ghoulish glee with it. Same goes for the neck, pickup Necklace of Smoke Signals for 1250 vp. Other then that your set

I use Feral by night, it's rather nice.

From what I was told and have read, there is no reason to have more than 5% hit or 12-14 exp unless you're standing in front of Rag. Also I have ferocious bite glyped

Finally, I was also told that mastery > haste until higher gear levels at least.

Bah, I meant frenzied regen to rebirth, it's late here . Hit and expertise is more of personal preference. Comes down to a small dps difference, I just got tired of seeing misses :P

Yes, mastery is good until 4pc t12+. The reforging above gains you 588 mastery at the cost of 186 haste. It's possible you could gain more while keeping 764 hit / 12 exp, but I'm too tired/lazy to check on that right now plus supertroopers is on!1!1 :*D

Hello,

my link : http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...s/Damea/simple

I finnaly got the Matrix restabilizer from HC Major, with that i replaced my fluid death. Now im missing 190 hit which i now need to reforge. I was playing around with reforging but couldnt finde an optimal solution for it. What would be the best way to reforge for that hit?

Thanks in advance for the answer

---------- Post added 2011-11-08 at 03:19 PM ----------

what i forgot to mention is, i didnt try to change any of my expertise reforging since its almoast at the cap, dont want to mess with that for now. Is it worth reforging hast for hit, im only reforging those armor pieces who dont have any expertise reforging so i dont have that many choices.

---------- Post added 2011-11-09 at 09:27 AM ----------

as mentioned above should i reforge all my gear to acomodate for the hit rating or should i just reforrge those pieces that dont have any expertise reforg already?

[Eliong]

At first i cant post links(sorry for that),Here is my armory eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/neptulon/Eliong/advanced
so my question is i just drop down 4 pieces t12 and get 2 t12 and 2 t13, so what is the roforge priority now, do i need that hit/exp now or i just throw them away for mastery

[Mihir]

I finnaly got the Matrix restabilizer from HC Majo

Matrix Restabilizer drops from Ragnaros. The Hungerer drops from Majordomo Staghelm.

Hello again

thats my current equip status : http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...s/Damea/simple

What should i buy for my vp, should go for neck or wrist or belt, im gonna wait for a trinket drop.

Thanks.

[nxzt]

Wrist is a pretty large upgrade for you, but consider getting it on an alt or for gold. 2nd in line would be Neck.

I'd like to think I know what i'm doing but you never know :P

^- you've got hit reforges on some of your items, which is worthless seeing how you have over 10%

[JSG31494]

Hiya hiya hiya, all. Any advice would be more than welcome. I stack mastery, I have an excess amount of expertise I just barely pushed below the cap with recent reforges, aaaaand yeah. Thanks in advance: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...richoof/simple

I'm not at home atm, but off the top of my head you could try the following reforging:
Helm - 80 exp -> mastery
Neck - 64 haste -> crit
Shoulder - unforged
Cloak - unforged
Chest - fine as reforged
Bracers - fine as reforged
Gloves - 82 haste -> hit
Belt - fine as reforged
Legs - fine as reforged
Feet - 86 crit -> hit
Viridian - fine as reforged
Cataclysmic - 76 hit -> exp
Ranseur - fine as reforged
Covenant - 35 crit -> hit

Change cloak enchant to 22 agility.
I'd almost say swap that pvp ring out for a pve one, but I only know of 3 heroic rings atm which have mastery but 1 less agility when compared to ring of accuracy.

[JSG31494]

Well that just shows to go ya that you can always improve your stating, thanks!
P.S. Is dropping 135 mastery worth getting the 8.00% hit cap and the 26 expertise cap? Simulations can only show so much, and napkin math is much different from experimental results. (Mew shows a 20 DPS loss from your changes)

Hello again

I just got myselfe yesterday the t13 chest which now i have 2 t12 and 2 t13 and got the belt from warlord. Should i now that i have 2 T13 already reforge away from expertise and hit and start stacking again mastery or should i still keep hit and expertise caps until i get 4 T13? I didnt do any reforges yet for the new pieces, just gemed and enchanted them.

Thanks in advance.

simcraft takes my dps higher with hit stacked over the hit cap for white hit.

Ferals behave like single-wield classes. Only 8% is needed. At 8% your white hits will not miss.

At 8% none of our specials (yellow) attacks miss. We still have missed white attacks. Unless you're pushing the soft cap on crit though (hint, you're not), any more hit is essentially wasted.

No, you will not miss white hits at 8%. You may get parried, dodged or it could be a glancing blow, but it will not miss.

All i know is i ranked today on madness with that much hit where as last week I did not so I must be doing something right.
