GotO and Healing Spheres are back to being smart heals, so they're no longer activating for full health people on the new PTR build. It was probably just a bug.

Did mogushan vaults today until spirit kings...I think i cant put links yet, so, search for Eijy in the logs, guild Erinion
I thinked was pretty good, some mistakes there and there, but overall, a nice run
need you guys for hints and critics on my very new monk:
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...3%A0wan/simple
Tonight i did my very first raid as a tank (did something with guardian druid but oh my gosh they're terribly boring to play outside berserk and incarnation); dropped 3 things (helm + shoulder + neck if i'm not mistaken).
I still have some doubts, beside the usual hst vs crt thing, wich i think i manged because i like the high haste style better when i'm on low health.
Now i don't get the 15% expertise thing (i'm on 7.5% hit/exp -> hst > crt); is that something worth to get?
And about trinket, i've relic of niuzao and a 463 on dodge proc + stam; as backup i've agy relic and another agy on proc trinket.
What should i use?
On feng you dropped shuffle a few times(only one because of channeling barrier), most likly because you had to little chi since on average you used keg smash once every 12,6 seconds.
To avoid being energy starved only use jab/expel harm when at 70 or higher energy so you always can keg smash on cd.
On spirit kings you capped elisive brew twice once for 16 seconds and once for 7. If you did it on purpose it on purpose it is fine else not. You also had 10,3 seconds between each keg smash
On dogs you had 9,8 seconds between keg smash. You also dropped shuffle alot on this boss.
Overall you did fine just make sure to focus on getting more keg smash in.
Also just made a post about how you can read wol on my blog(link below) if you want to learn how to do it yourself

I will read, raid findr takes forever to call XD
Btw, Im intrigued, some people say Xuen works with your stats at moment, like, 5 sec before Heroism finish, you use him, you got a 45 sec Xuen with the stats of heroism...other that he only is affected that way with permanent things, like buffs...D=

Think of it like this:
Mining and skinning are ONLY stamina and crit. Nothing else. You can't choose any other stat. Those stats may be good, but they're fixed.
Blacksmithing, alchemy, jewelcrafting, inscription, leatherworking, and probably more crafting professions allow you to actually choose which stats you get (some more so than others). The boosts from these professions are also effectively passive anyway, once they're applied to your gear/consumed/whatever'd.
Gathering professions are just blown away by crafting ones in every single way.
I've been very happy with a Blacksmith + Leatherworking combo. Flexible extra gem slots, able to craft your own gear if/as needed, and I swap around the LW wrist & leg enchants depending on the fight at only a few eternium threads.
Sucks not having a character I can farm at as I am slow to level alt's but slowly working up a couple that can do that for me.

The four elements, like man alone, are weak. But together they form the strong fifth element: Boron.
Also have both LW + BS and works fine for me. Personally I also think LW is the best farming profession for a tank. Just go to dread wastes and mass AoE packs for spirits and turn into leg enchants. Better gold/hour than my druid who used to be herb/miner.
Edit: not to mention, WAY more fun for gold making.
Need advice here. We started working on H Empress last night. Tanks are Prot War and me a BrM. Heals are Rdruid, Rsham, Disc P and semi healer Rdruid as 4th.
My question is should I be tanking the 2 Reavers or the 6 Windblades? I know BrM can do a lot of AOE dmg as shown on H Windlord, which I solo tank in my current set of gear - i505 Hit/Exp cap, ~5200 haste, rest full crit, Agi flask/food.
Should I let the Prot War tank the 6 adds bc he is a shield tank or should I tank the adds and switch to more of a stam/mastery build for the fight? Only spent 45 minutes on the fight last night, but the Prot War was getting smashed by the Windblades and the Reavers weren't hitting me too hard at all.
We realize that healers will need to rotate CDs in on that tank, but that would be the case for either of us.
Edit: Was reading BrMs can use DH to range the adds, then Clash in for a stun, KS/BoF and then roll back out. repeat. Is this also possible on Heroic?

Generally it's not advisable to put an avoidance tank in the highest stress tanking scenario currently. Sooner or later rng will say "screw you" and hit you 10 times in a row, ~40-50% harder than on a shield tank. If you guys need the dps then yeah, stam/mastery setup and you tank windblades, but dps isn't usually an issue on p2 Empress.
Your prot warrior may also be dying because of the 6/2 split, try 5/3 with you tanking a windblade as well. Band of valor - 6 windblades together = 6*250% = 1500% the damage of a single windblade. 5 windblades together = 5*220% = 1100% the damage of a single windblade. Almost a 30% damage redux just from grabbing a single mob from the warrior, not bad.
As for aoe stuns - it's generally inadvisable to use them at all. As you start tanking the windblades and they filter in and start casting, their attacks get naturally staggered and you have a steady stream of incoming damage. Stun them all once and they all unstun and swing at the same time, so instead of 5-6x 80k hits separately you're getting one gigantic hit every couple seconds that can hit you for almost your full hp. That being said, if you're going the aoe stun route, shockwave kicks the ass out of clash and leg sweep, as it basically comes up perfectly when DR falls from the mobs every time.
It's also possible to kite the adds for as long as you want, but at a pretty significant cost to dps. It's possible, just not particularly ideal, although it may work for you guys.
Anyone got tips for spirit kings hc? The fight seems pretty easy until the zian - meng transition. I try to use a cooldown for that since it seems to hit pretty hard, but i often found that i didnt have a cooldown when meng had 70+ rage and maddening shout happened.
Also noticed a cool thing that if i hit the new boss as it spawns maybe once or twice and then pop xuen, xuen will tank it for its duration. Helped on the first transition alot.
More logs!
Hof first boss, I lost mogushan elegon and will because the log was too big =/ people got late
I think I did well, noticed some errors of my part, but in overall I was surprised how I was top damage even taking, Is that how we monks, are suposse to feel? =O

for all transitions I generally just had EB and guard off cooldown. Saved dampen harm, fort brew for meng at 70%
. If you use those, don't forget zen med. You can also kite him ok, transcendence/roll. Might be a problem if you port into a shadow puddle but that doesn't hit anywhere near as hard as he does.
