the Ring, Pants, and chest are very nice, provided you dont lose to much hit useing them, boots arnt bad either but i would stay fith FSW if you have them gloves are also nice,
the prob with the badge stuff is its massive lack of hit, there are a few nice things from the New instance heroic and non as well

its not exactly T6 but its close

I would probably gain hit from those three items actually.

the only item IIRC that has hit on it other then the ring is the boots
 
another problem with the spreadsheet - it seems to assume that 0/21/40 is the only way to go for raiding. There seems to be no pre-loaded UA build and that's fine. But if I manually plug UA in, does it really keep my best interests in mind?

Something like Tormented Demonsoul Robes with the 50 crit is rated higher than Shroud of the Lore`nial with the 29 hit (and added 33 spirit) on it. SpellDmg is the same on both. Is it true that the demonsoul is better for me even as Aff? I want to remain Aff for its utility.

Here's all the badge gear.
 
The pants do too, but the robe doesn't. I misread its crit as hit.

Actually, it looks like one pair of pants has hit, and the other has crit. Any reason to not take the hit ones?

it DOES have a preset for almost every build

on the DPS tab line 17 is a drop down menu, its defaultly selected to 0/21/40 however you simple need to select UA for an affliction build generally 43/0/18 or something similar and hit the LOAD button to load that spec into the sheet to have calcs based off it

demonsoul robes better then what?


also the Crit legs > the hit legs, get the hit from something else

I'd skip on the badge robes. The robe from heroic MgT is nearly on par with the badge robes and also have more gemming options. The badge boots are great if you don't have access to boots of blasting. The fused nethergon band has a ton of hit which should be a top priority as well. Also for gruul's level raiding go Felguard ftw! very very fun and a lot of DPS
 
It may require a ton more microing to keep the pet alive but I feel the DPS is much more viable than affliction or super pro 1 button raiding until T6 content.

Gnomes can be death knights? zomg! I was considering getting into AoC but not anymore! 😀
 
I can't access the popular WoW sites. Could someone either copy and paste the resto druid talent info or host a screenshot at imageshack?
 
It sucked when the nerfed the gem rate on nodes a couple patches ago, I was getting a nice amount of greens while leveling up. I guess that change thoguh didn't make it through to the nethercite as while doing dailies over the last week for my drake I've been getting about 4 blues a day on ore nodes on the ledge.

Maybe somebody went through a lot of work to make these seem realistic, but these seem very very plausible. Wonder which ones will be considered overpowered ala shadow heal.

Oh yeah, goodbye feltard...hello warlock tank o.o

Ok I gotta stop now before I really get started, I could oogle over these all day..
 
I like the idea behind Flourish. It would make trees much more versatile when it comes to group healing. There are times when I feel like I am not very valuable such as when there is only one tank to heal. I still serve my purpose, but it feels like there is something lacking in those cases.
 
Decimate: Your next Shadow or Fire spell is instant cast, and does damage in the form of Chaos damage, ignoring all resistances, absorption, and immunity mechanics. After the end of the Decimated cast, you become exhausted, disabling you from casting a spell of the same school for 3 sec.

now all we need is a talent that increases the survivability of destro specs
LOL instant non resistable soulfires in the face
 
Those talents were pulled from the friends and family alpha. They aren't fake. Now, they may not make it to even closed beta, but they aren't fake.
 
How's AoC looking? I'm thinking WoLK will be like Gates of Discord was for me in EQ; I'll play until it's released, then quit since I'm not spending more money to duel for epics.
 
reviews ive gotten back from AoC seem very favorable, however its a LOT different then wow

i dont know if ill play it or not, i dont have much issues with WoW currently, i enjoy raiding and the people i play with,
 
picked up 2 star of elune and 2 living ruby's so far tonight. Doing the drake races. First 4 were easy, this damn 5th one sucking monkeyballz.
