Does the crits stuck?

[Deleted]

Hello! Im just wondering if the glyph of serpent sting (Increases the periodic critical strike chance of your Serpent Sting by 6%) stack with 2 set bonus t11 (Increases critical strike chance of your Serpent Sting ability by 5%)or is it even the same thing at all? . Or should i use glyph of arcane shot instead and use my extra focus for that?(Ofc i play SV atm)

Best wishes Tycko =)

I think you mean stack, and I'm sorry, I don't know. You might be able to get your answer from stickies, or elistist jerks.

ye mean stack :S

Of course it stacks.

And to answer your second question - arcane vs. serpent glyph are pretty equally sucky at the moment, with the new patch however arcane shot glyph will be better on single target fights. On the other hand, we'll probably only be SV on AoE fights where serpent spread plays a major role, and the extra crit from serpent glyph applies to serpent spread, which makes it better.

Surv will still be competitive with the other specs in single target... the difference between them will be marginal at best.

In this tier, yes. In future tiers...probably not. It doesn't scale nearly as good as marksman. Or other classes for that matter. See here: http://stateofdps.com/index.php?raid...s=200&spec=dps

^ The above is based on parses from guilds doing heroic mode raids. i.e., everyone is geared. Notice that survival has gone from top to mid pack after everyone gets gear.

Yeah it stacks, you can test this using recount and dummies. Just fire a sting, and cobra shot it for 5 mins. Remove glyph and repeat. Thing is does it do much more damage? The answer is no, because serpent sting ticks rather slowly, so it doesn't actually get much opportunity for critting anyway on single target. Multishot is where this glyph + set bonus becomes really interesting though.

Would I use serpent sting glyph on heavy aoe fights? yes I would. I would be using arcane for non aoe fights. Since the new glyph system, spending a few gold between bosses is no big deal. You can have your cake and eat it.

Rough numbers I remember seeing somewhere just off the top of my head.

Some guys tested all three specs on the PTR and averaged it out.

MM was ~22.5k
SV was ~21k
BM was ~ 20.3k

Cant for the life of me remember where I saw this, was about 2 weeks ago and things have probably changed now.

Really? go to stateofdps.com and check it every day as it is updated and you will see SV is nowhere near middle of the pack. Hasn't been that way either. Adjusted totals and overall totals has SV tops.
