Gear/Actions, what could be better? (Tiaitchsi)

[Tiaitchsi]

How's my gear optimized so far?

Besides the bracers, is everything a-ok?

There's not much to be said about your gear. It looks similar to what AMR or any optimization tool would tell you to do. I don't see anything wrong with your bracers either.

I do.

180 int > 170 mastery.

Haha, yeah. Not sure how I missed that. 180 int > 170 mastery as Akraen said.

Time has passed, gear has been aquired.
How does it look, without BBoY I won't reach the 15697 cap, and with it I'm ~700 above the cap.

[Komma]

You're way past the point where you should gem haste. Also, your belt can be reforged from hit since you are 1.3% above hit cap.

Have you tried reading the guides? They should give you a good idea what needs to be done.

Yeah, I just got the BBoY a few minutes before posting this.
Thanks for the suggestions, I have read the guides and I suppose that the Int/Mastery gems will replace my current Expertise/Haste ones?

EDIT: Seems like my ReforgeLite is failing on me for the first time in my history of using it..
It was happy when the belt was non-reforged, but when I reforged it from Hit -> Crit, it suddenly wanted me to refroge the Hit -> Haste, still being above the set 15697 cap?

EDIT2: Forgot that I had Mr. Robot by my side. How's my gear now? I feel pretty satisfied with it. =)

Cheers.

At your gear level I actually recommend going for a lower level of haste - probably 14242. I think simulations will show you having better results if you trade some of your haste for mastery.

That actually lead to a 0.2% DPS loss, with 10000 iterations.

Another question, if I felt like trying another spec, which one would it be?
Since Fire is heavily crit-dependant, I suppose arcane because of the Mastery?
Cheers.

[Frosted]

If you do not have the gear for Fire, yeah, you can try Arcane.

I'd also bet that the DPS loss you saw in sims is within error, so it's fine either way you had it.

[Tiaitchsi]

Alright, cheers.

I'm not sure on what to do here.
I've got full T16 normal, but only one off-set WF piece (my legs).

I'm going to exchange my current head to T16, which will leave me at having 3 piece equipped.
So, I think I also should exchange my current chest for the T16 one, to get 4P, and also since I've reached haste cap with ease.

Also, I have gotten

1H: http://www.wowhead.com/item=103973
OH: http://www.wowhead.com/item=103918 and http://www.wowhead.com/item=103919.
Which one(s) should I go for?

Thoughts?

[Tiaitchsi]

Bumpity boop.
I think I'll go ahead and upgrade the http://www.wowhead.com/item=103874" target="_blank, unless I get something else in the upcoming heroic runs.

Scalpel + Power Core. That combination will yield a total of 2175 Int vs. 2060 on the Lever, and 3109 secondary stats vs. 2917 from the Lever.

[Soggs]

If you are really going into heroic I would rather upgrade the Lever if anything at all and save the Valor for heroic items.

[Tiaitchsi]

About going from frost to arcane, is there a certain % of mastery you should reach before converting?
Also, if someone has AMR values for arcane, I'd be grateful.

EDIT: Some logs from my first few HC runs, I realize the bomb uptimes could be better, but what else could I improve?
Iron Juggernaut HC
Kor'kron Dark Shaman HC

Kind regards. :>

[Tiaitchsi]

Regarding Arcane, I've made some macros to prevent me from prematurely cancelling Arcane Missiles.
The macros work great, but it feels like I am losing DPS since I'm not able to queue spells properly.
Are you using any macros as Arcane? If yes, which one(s)?

Cheers in advance.

[wolsku]

I'm using only a few macros, a bomb mouseover, and an AT macro, the [nonchanneling] dingy for AM is risky because if your ping is too high, you'll waste time in between cast, which is not optimal at all

[Tiaitchsi]

Bumpity boopy.
Playing as Frost.
Picked up a H KTT today, and now I'm confused.
Either I finish upgrading my tier gloves (currently 2/4), or I bring KTT to 574 and swap it with WF BBoY (4/4).
What's the best call here?

I'm thinking of just getting my gloves to 582 this week and KTT the upcoming.

[durrtygoodz]

If you're only gunna put ktt up to 574 just keep using your 575 BBoY and upgrade the gloves.

[Tiaitchsi]

I'll be able to up my KTT to 582, does the additional F(F)B's add another icicle? I assume it does not. Should I still try to go for 15832 with KTT equipped, or should I go for a lower cap (14242) and put more into mastery?

Thanks in advance.
