[Enh] 10-man heroic BiS gear list

[Butu]

Edit 17.4: Updated rotation with Snaffu's superior one.

NOTE: If you get lower dps results than listed with the included Rawr sheet please check if your socket bonuses are properly updated in Rawr.

Here is a 10-man bis list I created, similar in style to EJ bis thread. People can post their findings here and I will update the post accordingly.

For guidelines on how to post please read EJ thread http://elitistjerks.com/f79/t88300-e...on_3_3_onward/. If you don't know how to post, don't do it at all.

Very nice, thank you. Hopefully that guy looking for one a while back checks again soon.

Completely missed this thread. Thanks a lot for putting this together. I appreciate it.

[Torture]

I don't know if I'm missing something here, but why the single point in Reverberation? I'd always read that as 'reduces the cooldown' and I can't see 0.2 seconds making much difference (unless it does GCD?).

[winthe]

.2 isn't a lot, but it is helpful. I'm to lazy to do the math and most fights are around 10+ one extra shock, is one more dmg spell you didn't have before.

How are you getting T10.25/T10.5 in a 10-man only list?

If you use FS/ES on cd it would be 1 extra shock every 3 minutes (179.8 seconds). Considering we don't, it is 1 extra shock every 3.5-4 minutes depending on priority.

Its an underwhelming talent, but since we don't really have mana problems if we are single target dps'ing and have judgement of wisdom, there really is no where else to spend the point.

However, since we do have some aoe, and there are some fights where we cannot be on target 100% of the time with JoW, it is my personal preference to use ele focus instead. That said, personal preference has no place in a single target BiS thread, and is why 1 point is reverb is just fine.


@TOMGC: t10 is available from badges, and the end bosses of heroic ICC 10 do drop tier tokens (i264). He is justified including them in this thread.

There is no 10.5 tier gear here if by that you mean ilvl 277 tier gear. The only ilvl 277 piece obtainable through ICC 10man is the reputation ring, which is included in the list, and as kudzupo said, tier 10.25 tokens (ilvl 264) can be obtained from the wing endbosses in HC ICC 10man.

About the single point in reverberation - it's a very minor dps increase, but still the best place to spend the extra talent point when talking about single target dps. I've modified my original post to clarify that the talent build is built for maximum single target dps.

the title is miss leading... you should name it BiS 10-Man Heroic...

As the average raiding person will not have access to the heroic...

Just came on here to find out what to gem etc.. for enhancement shamans, as my sister plays one, and I would like to offer her advice when she needs it.

However, I'm a little confused,..

Why is the best race Tauren? Surely the racial of the Troll or Orc outweighs what Tauren offer?

And best professions?

I'd have thought Jewelcrafting would be up there, as well as perhaps Engineering?

Can you explain why what you say is true?

The race/profession choices are not optimal. Tauren is choosed because it doesn't have any dps racials which would affect the simmed dps and possible gearing so that the list would be optimal for as many players as possible. Same applies to professions, lw and enchanting are choosed because they offer the generic +80ap which has no real effect on gearing options.

[Omanley]

generally, jc/eng is best prof choice.
best race would be orc, and close after, trolls

because not every player chooses profession/race for min/maxing, the most neutral professions/race were used.

[sarius]

I see, bit misleading to put BiS list for optimal damage gear but not mention the best prof's and racials then, if you're going to adhere to this list, it's likely you'll do the professions if not the race.

orcs have axe/fist specialisation.
a orc shaman doing only 25man wouldn´t run into a dilemma about weapon types. in 10man only though, we have gutbuster, being the best itemized weapon for enhancement after pugius.

a tauren and troll, maybe even a draenei, would like the mace best. an orc would prefer the abominatzion knuckles/frost giants cleaver over it, simply because of the racial.

an absolutely BiS thread would be talormade for orc shaman, with possibly other weapons and gems, but likely other cape as well.

The reason why I'm not gonna do this is that it would require at least three separate bis list, the "neutral" one, one with orc + jc & eng and one with draenei + jc & eng, and it would just get too confusing.

Im at Uni atm so dont have access to rawr/enhsim but recently there have been new findings in the critcap area and up to a certain point (was 3 gems for me) its a dps increase to replace some +20 haste with +20 hit. Theres a thread on EJ about it and their 25man BiS reflects this also.

10-man bis gear doesn't require any extra gems/enchants for the crit cap, so I can't see why replacing some haste gems with hit gems would be beneficial.

[dgmmidge]

in rawr if you click the other tab then graph and select only hit and haste and show graph itll show you which is better, look one gem at a time. I could be wrong but it was a dps increase for my shaman

edit: and apparentally increasing the hit increases the crit cap also up until a certain point, so gemming for just hit gives you free crit

Are you sure you used the Rawr sheet found in the original post? I just downloaded it, installed the newest Rawr and haste is definately better than hit in the graph.
