And thankfully (even though it's annoying) most of the VP gear sucks for us anyway so saving up the 3k should be an easy thing to do.

Also, is anyone expecting ret changed in 5.3? I'm not sure if 5.3 is going to be much of a buff/nerf patch but something I'd like to see added would be better AoE/cleave. Perhaps with our new set bonuses, they could just make seal of righteousness do holy damage and our AoE would be pretty strong, and as for cleave... maybe buffing censure damage, I'm not sure what else they could do to buff 2-3 target cleaving.

Even if we aren't getting aoe we should ask for our 4 set tier not to punish us for aoeing. We should get procs from CS and HotR. We should be able to boost DS or TV.

Wish exo had a further spread / range needed to cast.

Are rets still running SW with 4 set, or going for DP? And just prioritizing CS > J where possible during SW? Also, would it be worth picking up the exp trinket if I'm running double upgraded heroic of lei shen + vortex?
From what I've read - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - SW and DP are pretty even overall, choose based on fight mechanics. Most still probably running with SW. Exp trinket is pretty darn good if you can use the exp, but I'm already stuck over exp cap with no hit/exp on my trinkets; a LOT of ToT gear has hit/exp.

Yeah, the spread is awful. Tortos HC went Down last night. We went with melee full time on AoE(Exo + DS spam) and i couldn't even exo the boss, even though the adds were RIGHT under his foot. The adds wouldn't get affected. The spread is awful. Though i'm gonna try DP for next week Tortos, since i'm on the adds full time.
I'm not sure how they would balance it out. I believe we're fine for clumped AoE atm. (according my to logs). http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-q5...758#Haargielol
HotR 8yard cone from us.
Exorcism 10yard aoe from target.
DS 8 or 10 yard aoe from us (can't remember)
It's just so much to watch out for when we do AoE, position, range... while shadowpriests pick a target and channel ONE spell for 10 seconds or something while they do 3 times the aoe dps that we do, fuck balance.

yeah our "clumped" aoe is fine but there's not a single fight where that actually matters this tier, maybe Tortos if you're killing bats but otherwise our aoe is pretty poor and clunky to do.
quick question: is there a haste softcap for sanctified wrath? in theory, a 3 second HoW without SW (50% haste, doesn't seem too implausible if we already are at 42% in heroic tier) means a 1.5 second HoW, but also means a 1 second GCD, which in turn means that we either need to wait on HoW to finish, or that our next HoW is delayed by .5 seconds.
But hey atleast we're getting less mana cost on our buffs so we can use them instantly when CR'd ~~
probably a dumb question, with our 2 set bonus will haste still be our best stat or is mastery a little better?
I understand what you're thinking, but haste lowers the cooldown of:
- Exorcism through Sactity of Battle: Allowing more uptime in the debuff
- Melee swings: Allowing for more Art of War procs
- Fillers from Sanctity of Battle allows us to use more spells during the debuff uptime.
I am yet to see any numbers yet, but I believe haste still takes the cake over mastery and crit. I am interested how mastery and crit weight themselves for us to see if they are still somewhat equal.
