No more arp

[Spitfyre]

Now in Wotlk many of the highest performing dps specs are those that gem arp (fury wars, combat rogues, MM hunters, dks, feral druids). The reason that they pull such good numbers most likely has to do with the way that arp affects their dps as opposed to strength. Without the extra push that arp gives these classes do you guys think that melee specs such as ret paladins and enh shamies that dont gain as much from arp will find themselves a few notches higher on the dps hierarchy seeing as the arp reliant classes won't have the arp boost to their dps?

I hurd you scale better with spirit than strength...

It's pretty simple, actually.
Once Cataclysm arrives, everything will stay exactly the same, except for ArP. ArP will be gone, but everything else stays exactly the same.

So yes, since nothing but ArP changes, really nothing at all, your predictions are definitely true and in no way, shape or form subject to change.

To be fair, if you spec Marksmanship as a hunter, one of the masteries is 30% armor penetration...

This. The very same post that was originaly mentioning removal of some stats (ArP is not the only stat being removed) said that there will be other means of achieving the desired result, specificaly mastery and talents

This! I seriously wonder how people can ask questions like this after a COMPLETE OMFG REVAMP of ALL EXISTING Talent-Trees has been announced.

The goal stated by Blizzard is that all classes should have similar DPS potential, with certain situational strengths and weaknesses. Warlocks, Mages, Rogues and Hunters are intended to have slightly more situations strengths than other classes.

Everything else is pure speculation at this point.

it doesnt matter if arp goes. if the dps is lacking compared to other classes then something will compensate. arp was just a way for this to happen..doesnt matter how it happens really.
