    With the Shado Pan trinket comes 8800 haste, and with herbalism comes nearly 3k haste.

    Currently I have engineering and Tailoring, and if I'm swapping out one of the two it'll damagewise be engineering. I'm just not clear on what effect Herbalism has, or why it's in the BiS profile. I realize 20 seconds of 3k added haste is a lot, but I cannot see it's value compared to the same % uptime of 1920 intellect. Is it not worth the hassle unless it pushes me above a doom breakpoint during bloodlust? that's the only logical explanation I can see yet.
    Given secondaries gain more and more stat weight as ilevel increases towards the best in slot, that would require a stat weighting in Simcraft like:

    Int - 4
    Haste - 2.57

    In order for the herbalism buff to be bigger than the int. I don't see that as such a stretch. Especially if you get over a breakpoint by doing that during the pull with lust and meta gem (which I haven't looked at yet).

    I miss pet twisting and the old play also, the only thing I don't miss is delaying my Meta cd for MWC.

    You don't add haste haste percentages like that, it's multiplicative which means you get 1.20*1.30*1.3(= 2.03) haste from berserking, meta and lust. Then you multiply that with your haste, lets say you have 25% haste, 1.25*2.03-1 = 1.5375 = 153.75% haste. Not 25% + 20% + 30% + 30% = 105%.

    Yeah, getting late here, you're right. However right you are, that's not my main point of question - thanks for correcting though, I guess.

    Are you simming once, and looking at stat weights and taking them as gospel for all stat combinations?


    The correct way to do it, if you're interested it, is to use reforge plots where it plots DPS versus sacrificing X stat and gaining Y of another stat.
    Well im getting the numbers from simcraft then putting them into Ask Mr Robot. Simcraft put my haste at like 4.38 and int at like 4.11 >.< So Ask Mr Robot told me to gem pure haste

    Ask Mr Robot is a horribly inaccurate tool, not to mention the fact that Stat Weights are not meant to be used for reforging. Also, there's no way Simcraft put your haste at 4.38.

    Thing is, it did. I was like "What the actual f***" myself but decided to trust it >.< Right now im running Mastery + Int gems in my yellow sockets and Reforging for crit > Mastery. When i get UvoLS then ill gem Haste + Int probably with Haste > Mastery reforges. Is that correct?

    What Simcraft build are you using

  9. #1049
    The way you see big gains from the herbalism thing is during darksoul + lifeblood + xxx buffs. I'm still not sold on it for demo since you are going to be using ToC moreso than soulfire during darksoul. However stacking lifeblood + troll racial + metagem + xxx can give you sub 60 sec imp swarm cycles.

    Please don't use askmrrobot for anything other than being lazy at math to reforge to hitcap...and even then just do your own math. As for simC I belive 520-10 is out.

  10. #1050
    I am ilvl 512, I have 4set, LFR UVLS and CHA YE'S.... what build would be better for me, haste>mastery>crit or mastery>haste>crit or crit>haste>mastery?????

    I use reforge lite addon, I suppose it works the same way as askmrrobot. I find it very good to save gold/time to reforge to certain caps you want to reach (hit as well as haste). I do focus more on mastery than crit, but sometimes it reforge from mastery to hit/haste just to get as close to cap as possible. I suppose it's better than to having more hit than needed, since it's a dead stat after cap.

    Just curious, I'm not too good at math though, how do you calculate it?

    only thing i can think of is the massive reduction to imp swarm

    And very fast doom ticks on the opener doom! With my 8189 haste i got like tick every 5.9sec with lust+meta gem+berserking and it ticks like 250k(43k dps first 135secs from the doom itself!!). If you stack haste and have shado-pan trinket + herbalism, you will get very fast doom ticks and lots of imps! And for more haste you can use http://www.wowhead.com/item=86125 instead of prepot!

    That tip was golden. I saw your post, camped the site 2 hours straight and now got the item! So thanks a bunch. Ace timing as well, starting progress on council heroic tomorrow...

    Does anybody know if simcraft is still using 30% sacrifice when it has always been 25%? (tooltip error on live)

    Guess the 5% would make quite a difference when you sim 8 target aoe with or without pet. (simcraft does without for max dps)

  16. #1056
    Just started to level my lock as Demo. It's a blast!

    One question though. When single targeting bosses while using Metamorphosis, do I just rinse and repeat the same rotation as if I was not using it?

    Just bored at work killing time.
    Thanks guys.

    Well Kafa Press seems kinda overkill especially traded at a 1:1 ratio with int. I'm already GCD capped by miles in the opener.

    The only way its worth it is if its pushing you that tiny bit extra for an 12th tick. (I haven't done the math, but I'm sure we're close to a 12th tick if not past it.)

  19. #1059
    12th tick with everything up(metagem/BL/serking), is at 17382 haste rating, or 13382 with Kafa Press.

    This is purely speculation, and damage values are from my gear level. For that 12th tick of doom, you are getting 2 extra ticks of crit doom (assuming everlasting affliction) ticking for ~250k + 2 imps, which do on average about 350k damage each. This would be about 1.2 million extra damage, just from that haste pot. Of course, you lose a lot of burst damage from not using an intellect pot at the start, and the haste pot doesnt really benefit your spell casting times since you're usually GCD capped anyways if you're haste stacking. Not sure if it's worth it.

    The calculations I posted a couple of weeks ago were incorrect, so I apologize. The correct haste rating for 11 ticks with Meta/BL/serking is 12391 haste.

    also need to take into account how much damage is gained by 4000 haste worth of imp swarm cd reduction?

    still not convinced it would be worth it.
