[Cat] Mihir's "Fix my Feral DPS Gear" thread'

[Squishy2]

k.. Mihir.. let's see if you can fix me

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&cn=Iamsquishy

just got the NES last night, im half gemmed for ArP on i264 items, my i245 items are gemmed for agi... i need another week of frost farming before i can buy 2 pieces of t10 (like you said a single t10 piece is not an upgrade by itself). Probably head/shoulders and then will gem ArP and that'll take me up slightly above soft cap.

anything else i need to fix?

[Kaay]

Agreed. Move the nightmare tear to your weapon or legs, and put 20 arpen in all other sockets, for a 30-50 dps increase according to both rawr and simcraft. Switching back to scorpion + softcap would be a loss of over 200 dps; as long as you can get over 1100 or so, hardcap will be better than softcap. And with full arpen gemming/food you will have 1323.

That is also what rawr told me to do..but i just seemed very skeptical about dropping another 50 hit..that would put me over 100 hit under cap, and i am already noticing misses. Just ran a 10m icc and on bosses i was missing 15-25 melee swings a fight.

I'm also looking in the future..when i get a i264 wep like distant land or bloodfall..they both have no hit. I would drop another 50 hit and rawr is still saying that it is a dps increase with only 109 hit rating now. Just wanting to make sure I am doing everything right with the simulator.

Here is my armory again http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...Korgath&n=Kaay TY for any help/comments again

I should be DPS gear. And am I the only one who dislikes N-ES? It doesn't seem to have enough up time. And I'm kinda confused about the ArPen/Agility thing. So lemme know if +agi would be better than ArPen at this point.

I need a better weapon, hopefully distant land will drop tonight. Don't mind being low on hit, I'd rather have the better dps and occasionally miss. I'm also considering dropping Alchemy and getting Blacksmithing for the extra sockets. Any suggestions?

Edit: no distant land this week /sigh

don't gem for so many socket bonuses. a socket bonus is really only worth getting if its 8+ agi (6+ is iffy). also...you aren't ready to gem for ArP yet. you're rockin 10 +20 ArP gems and you are still around 200 ArP short of your soft cap. At this point i'd say that you would prolly be better off gemming for agi until you have about 550-ish ArP on your gear (but use RAWR to confirm). you mentioned hit...but you don't need that much expertise either.

Damn you, damn you to hell .... ;/

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...cn=Primalfurry

Anything blaringly obvious? Im a few days from 4p,
My gems should be shifted a bit, most probably a agi/hit in my chest (to match with the Tear for socket bonus), and an agi/hit in my pants.

DBW is only accessable to me in a pug, and hit trinket is around till the ICC10 loot lines up better (Need rings/necks to get the hit )

Well, in order to get more ARP we have to remove your EXP/Hit gear.

You need to choose what off piece you want to use.

The choice are Gloves, Shoulder, Head, Chest, and Leg.

From these choices, we can help you find a better set of gear.

Are you a person that like Hit/Exp?

If so....

Glove, Shoulder, Head, and Leg choice you need to gem Hit and Exp.

Chest you only need to gem hit.

Boots would have to wait until you get 115 EoF to buy the mats for it.

Your cloak is ok for now you will want to upgrade it, from ToGC 25 man.

If you do get DBW, then throw away the Needle-Encrusted Scorpion.

my gear. please help cause i cant get rawr to work on a mac. (know of mono and all of that). Probably gonna get 4th piece of t10 this week. should i get head or legs first? i know that i should drop gloves later, so ill probably get both. but wich one first? trinkets are crap. i probably should save for herkumi war totem before getting 5th piece of tier piece and retire my gloves?

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...asz&cn=Monstto

T10 head weighs in at 740 dps increase, legs only at 640. So definitely go for the headpiece first. After that you probably want to go for the frost emblems belt, before you go for a new trinket. After that you could consider getting the T10 legs.

You also seem to be a bit over the hitcap (assuming you can get a draenei in your group), so you could switch your boots enchant to agi.

[Raith]

Hey Mihir, willing to give me a look over?

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...orrow&cn=Trayn

I realise that I'm over the expertise cap but I have http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50998 now aswell as another option (i just haven't gemmed and enchanted it yet). I also know my spec is slightly off as I have Infected Wounds but that is for the Lich King fight on 10man (helps against the valkyrs).

Any suggestions would be nice and thank you in advance.

You could switch your pants for the T9 pants (doesn't matter which version) for an easy 100 dps increase from the 2T9 bonus. At your current gear level, haste overtakes crit, so you could switch your yellow sockets to 10agi+10haste gems. You're also about 100 arpen short of the softcap (should be fixed when you get another T10 piece) which you could adjust gemming for. When you got enough emblems you could then replace chest and legs at the same time for a whopping 900 dps upgrade.

That is also what rawr told me to do..but i just seemed very skeptical about dropping another 50 hit..that would put me over 100 hit under cap, and i am already noticing misses. Just ran a 10m icc and on bosses i was missing 15-25 melee swings a fight.

You'll notice more misses, but the remaining attacks will hit that much harder that it's still a dps increase. Just the way it is I'm afraid, while you're closing in on the hardcap you'll have to make concessions on other stats. Once you hit the hardcap, you can fill out hit/expertise again.

Tank gear

[Ameow]

Hi there

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...as&n=Ameowsing

I like to think that I know about how to gear ect, but im in a bit of a pickle at the moment, I am using the mace from the Prince's for two reasons. One being the hit cap and two it giving me the extra 100 arp to get to the 1400 cap. With food at the moment I sit at 1417 arp.

I hate using Rawr because I don't think it gives me a true reflection on what I actually should be going for, so my main question is what is your opinion, on gemming for expertise after the arp cap is met? or do you think dropping the 100 arp and using the distant land for the other stats is better?

Thanks for your help

Enchants: bracers should have 50 ap, gloves 20 agi, boots 16 agi, weapon mongoose.

Gems: no use putting a nightmare tear in a red socket, move it to the blue socket in your belt instead. Fill your yellow sockets with 10agi+10haste, and your remaining red/blue/prismatic sockets with 20arpen.

Upgrades: on short term, you could gain some dps by switching your current chest to the T9 chest (any version), and equipping the exalted reputation ring (which you should get very soon) instead of the marrowgar ring. Once you get enough frost emblems, buy the T10 head (making sure you don't lose the T9 bonus by getting the T9 chest), and after that the T10 chest. After that you could buy the frost emblems cloak.

Gonna assume that idol should be idol of mutilation

The shaft and the mace are about equal, but since you are over the expertise cap the shaft edges ahead a little bit.

Your gear is a bit on the crossover point between softcap and hardcap; you got too much arpen to stay at the softcap, but you don't have enough arpen to make it comfortably to 1100+. My suggestion is to wait a bit more till you can upgrade some more of your T10, maybe loot an arpen ring, boots or neck, and a good trinket to replace the scorpion, before you make the switch to hardcap.

Thanks for your help

I use both rawr and simcraft.. generally rawr is good for making quick reviews of gear, and general gemming/enchanting. But for the finetuning, like deciding between 10hit/haste/crit on an orange gem, simcraft is way more accurate.

About your gear: as long as you need the arpen from cryptmaker to get to the hardcap, it will be better than distant land by a small margin. But once you get some better gear and are able to reach the hardcap without the arpen on cryptmaker, distant land will be better again (simulated the different scenarios in simcraft, cause rawr will always tell you to use distant land).

Also a small gemming fix on your gear: you can move the nightmare tear to a yellow socket with +6agi bonus like the one in your chest, and put a 20arpen gem in your cloak, for a grand +2 free agi. :P

[Ameow]

So once i start getting more heroic loot that will give more passive ARP, or unless the weapon from the lich king drops. What is your opinion of using arp food though and then gemming for expertise? with the 40 points you get to play with?

Am i right in saying to get the true crit cap it relates to the expertise and hit cap? so would it be better for expertise capping with me starting to get the arp cap?

[Deleted]

If you downed LK, it's very likely that you'll have access to heroic Distant Land/Bloodfall/Cryptmaker as well soon, so it's probably not worth it taking the LK weapon (also keep in mind that hunters only want the LK weapons, so you should have almost no competition on distant land and bloodfall).

Arp food is probably the best food you can use as a feral, since it will help you get to the (hard)cap faster. It's also extremely easy to farm, compared to hit/exp/agi foods.

If your crit % is greater than the amount of white hits you can do (100% minus missed attacks minus dodged attacks minus glancing blows), then every additional hit or expertise rating you get will be a guaranteed crit. While every additional crit rating you get will do nothing for white hits until you get more hit/expertise (yellow hits will still benefit tho).
