[Balance] Sunfyre's "Fix my Balance DPS!" thread.

Hey, I just wanted to check if my reforging is wrong or could do with a little change, pretty confident with rotation etc...

eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/kazzak/Terkv/advanced

You are currently 18 rating above the hit cap.
So my advice would be:
Get the Firelands crafted boots. They have 48 more spirit than your current ones, more haste and a red socket. Then you can shift some of your reforgings away from hit and forge that into haste, like your cloak for example.
If you get the Firelands crafted boots and forge the crit from your cloak into haste, you'd get a lot more haste and only be 2 hit rating above the cap. However, it might seem like a large investment for such a marginal upgrade.

Personally, I have the Wings of Flame heroic version in my bags, but use the rep cloak over it since it has hit rating and haste. Considering I was able to get to the haste breakpoint with said rep cloak, I just kept it on and went for mostly full intellect gemming in order to make up for the small difference in int between the two cloaks and some other non-heroic items I use in order to attain the 2776 haste breakpoint (Crafted boots being an example of that).

Your DoT uptime looks like it could use a little work on some fights (I'm seeing fights in the 80% range). What addons do you use to track your DoTs?

You have some BiS pieces (legendary, cloak, mindbender lens), but no epic gems!

(PS any other english speakers who want to give Beroin advice, change the "de" in the armory to "en" to get it in english. Though I do love the German translation they give for mastery - Meisterschaftswertung)

[Deleted]

I use fortexorcist for dot timing. The BiS pieces without a epic gem are just because I try to get as much epic gems as possible for my main
The Dot uptime is a big issue. But I don't really know how to solve it. I just feel like it isnt worth to reapply dots when I'm in some shitty part of the eclipse. When I'm only 1 or 2 Starfires away from a "good" Dot i usually don't reapply. Is that the right thing to do?

[skeebopshapow]

I don't. It's really not worth it if I can't start in Eclipse. I also don't for fights like Rhyolith where DPS on the legs with full armor up is pretty moot, and it's basically a waste.

okay sure rhyolith but not prepotting is terrible advice... you still get 2-3 casts, potted mushroom detonation, and potted eclipsed dots by prepotting. not to mention there is virtually no reason NOT to prepot. if youre doing hardmode bosses the paltry amount of gold 1 extra potion costs should be worth it. i mean, what the hell else are you going to do with it?

If I'm 1-2 wraths away from solar, I'll wait on SF and IS. If I'm 1 Starfire away, I'll wait for MF but not IS. 2 Starfires away might be ok depending on your haste. But even if you're waiting for the eclipse it should only be a couple of seconds at most - which wouldn't really account for ~20% downtime. But generally, yes, waiting for an eclipse is ok if it's coming within 2 casts.

Hello!

I got to try heroic zonozz the other night for the first time, for some reason most of the attempts i felt my dps was WAY down on this boss compared to all the others. Granted they wern't very long attempts as we still progressing here mostly wipe first black phase... I think I've narrowed it down to not keeping dots up good during black phase it was my first night on H zonozz but still I feel I could be doing alot better.

Any advice welcome - armory and logs for zonozz attempts below.

[Elhorn the Doomchicken]

Have a quick, somewhat easy question about trinkets.

First off, i have these:

http://www.wowhead.com/item=77198

any my armory is this:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Elhorn/simple

My question: What would be best? VPLC and Will of Unbinding, Bottled Wishes and Will of Unbinding, or even Bottled Wishes and VPLC?

[wing5wong]

VPLC and WoU

[foibooze]

Makes me sad =( Ppl who haven't even completed normal madness has better/same gear as me. RNG is a bitch.. Even sadder when they don't know what to use.

I'd also get to it with tinkering your gloves Elhorn

My gloves are tinkered, it just doesn't show in the armory.

Also, I was fairly sure that VPLC and WoU were the way to go, but as I wasn't 100% sure. I figured I would ask the kind and helpful community of MMO-Champ forums...

Hey,

I guildie of mine would need some help to do better dps. I myself are resto so my experience as moonkin is very limited...
You'll find his armory here http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...t/Jolle/simple

A log from a relatively recent raid is here
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/z...87o/dashboard/

As far as I know, he is keeping the DoTs up and using Starfall/Starsurge/Treants etc. on cooldown.
Any help will be helpfull

[kaevne]

Question, which is better Fiery Quintessence or DMC: Volc? The other trinket is the int+ haste proc from DS.

Also, for which fights does it make sense to spec Lunar Shower? H Morchok seems like a good candidate.

Volcano by far! And no fight benefits from LS unfortunately...hoping for a viable fix in Mists

Our druid allowed me to post here for him and I've got no clue about ballance so perhaps someone here can help us:

Problem: Damage seems incredibly low - even on our Ultraxion hc tries where you dont even have to move.

Out of 5 Ultraxion tries the 2 longest:

Hes way over the hit cap and has very little haste. Tell him to get the Addon ReforgeLight to fix his reforges. In terms of gear replace the NF normal with the vp haste trinket.

He did 17k on warmaster, imo one of our best fights, tell him to sit in solar after killing the first set of adds, dot up solar on the next set then proceed with rotation etc (dot cleave).

Another example of over the hit cap and very little haste. Reforge away spirit and mastery till around 16.9-17% hit. His low haste means the rag trinket is a pretty poor, unsleeping one is wayy better. Balance druids solo target dps is low, so he is going to be sub-par on ultraxion

Looks like he's not waiting until solar to explode his shrooms. He's over hit cap and his haste is very very low for his ilvl. He's wearing 2 of the worst pieces from last tier for his 4pc. He should be using either 4pc t12 with shannox haste shoulders, or 4pc t12 with either the crafted legs from this tier or the t13 pants. He has an epic gem in his bracers yet does not have them in his cloak or relic which won't be replaced either. He bought the wrong relic as well. For ultraxion he should be using the glyph of focus. Does he have a different weapon that he can use? Rathrak is pretty garbage.

[Pokty]

No it isn't. The only item that is better that he has access to is the mace from morchok.
