My limited testing in raid situations shows a similar trend. Plus I still get the electrified dot from the t8 4set, and having CL cut into that seems to be a downfall too.<br /><br />I think I am going to stick to using LB for the most part, but being less hesitant to throw a CL here and there to neaten up the rotation.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051004568995660606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023342963622589597.post-44645677491089735662009-10-10T08:18:13.623-04:002009-10-10T08:18:13.623-04:00Fire Nova totem is a pretty significant nerf to Pv...Fire Nova totem is a pretty significant nerf to PvP as we lost the stun, though I'm sure people will still find a use for it.

I did the same and tested myself on the dummy and had the same results. My dps was slightly higher when sticking to LB instead of throwing in CL's - and of course, I was firing away for much longer.<br /><br />As for the fire nova, of course I am excited about a new aoe - but it seems as usuable as TS, which I barely use for dps. /shrug Guess I will have to wait and see.Looshiusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023342963622589597.post-51376409815905588792009-10-07T07:25:02.026-04:002009-10-07T07:25:02.026-04:00I've never been a spreadsheet guy, so when I r...I've never been a spreadsheet guy, so when I read this, I resorted to my tried and true method of opening recount and whacking on the Heroic Training Dummy in IF. I performed both rotations to oom one after the other for about 30 minutes and there seemed to me to be a marginal difference at best. In fact, the old rotation (LvB/LB) seemed to reliably score at about 100 dps higher than my rotations performed with CL (hitting it every CD) Am I the only one coming back with these results? If so, what could be throwing me off?Taervaanhttp://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Fenris&n=Taervaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023342963622589597.post-45181786084608432882009-10-07T03:50:00.981-04:002009-10-07T03:50:00.981-04:00Currently on trash, Magma totem is a huge dps incr...Currently on trash, Magma totem is a huge dps increase (I was able to pull 9k dps in Naxx in ilvl 200-213 mix).<br /><br />Add a nova explosion, no-pushback TS, and chain lightning instant cast now available to us, and if you needed to you could do a whole lot of hurt all by yourself.Pangoria Fallstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148359926488188195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023342963622589597.post-20851789209760753442009-10-06T11:36:33.728-04:002009-10-06T11:36:33.728-04:00Speaking as a 25-man raider.

Range AOE would have been better, but this is good enough. I would not glyphs for it. but speccing in it I will.<br /><br />with fire nova we will get a more complex rotation, (when there are adds) which is fun. remember that the firenova is an instant!!! this means we have more dmg when moving. <br /><br />now all we need is more dots.wannablastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023342963622589597.post-28115431076853238502009-10-06T08:50:29.905-04:002009-10-06T08:50:29.905-04:00Depending on the AoE situation, you might be near ...Depending on the AoE situation, you might be near the tank anyway. A lot of times we collapse on a tank when we know there's going to be a lot of adds coming that the tank needs to be pick up (such as Ony).<br /><br />The question is, would it be worth running in during situations when you're not already there? And if so, should it be talented (-4sec CD) and/or Glyphed (-3sec CD). The glyph seems like it isn't strong enough to replace what we already use, but the talent might be feasible.Crofehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541418467095439951noreply@blogger.com
