Stocking up on hunters!

Haha, I never noticed that the text for the achievement actually says 'raid-ready'.

My warlock hasn't touched demonology since Throne of Thunder, but I was surprised when I ran the sims that the doomguard talent came out on top (poor felguard). Name (first name only): If you don't want to use your real name, you can just make something up or use your initials (I go by 'HP'). The id...

I'm down. Don't want to wait until the last minute like in MoP <_< >_>.

Hmm, I didn't realize that my Mac was actually 16:10 too (the retina display is 2560 x 1600). I dunno, cutting from 1920 x 1200 to 1920 x 1072 (since I use that process you linked) ended up shaving my buffs and hotkeys which I like to look at when reviewing mistakes in my rotation and boss mechanics...

I'm actually a bit appalled that their example scenario is a guild going 6/7N Highmaul, then 3/7H Highmaul, then go back and kill normal Mar'gok. I can understand the first heroic boss being on par with the final normal boss, but half the raid instance? For the effort it takes to kill Mar'gok, they ...

Doh, I was supposed to get all of their rings done this weekend, but ended up running so much fail Rukhmar. I'll knock it out next week.

Your friends will be able to use your Mage Tower / Spirit Lodge portals in patch 6.1!

Coincidently, my warlock is my alt with a mage tower. Guess I better start grinding some ogre stones.

You're right. The openraid.us group that I was looking at when I made the post required 65 charges for 11 people. I bet the leader wanted slack so that if someone did mess up, they wouldn't have to wait for someone to farm 400 charms to buy another prism (400 charms = 40 bracelets = 40 tokens = 1 pr...

My understanding is that with eleven people each with 55 charges (that means you need to have the unique prism in your bags plus an additional 40 tokens so you can buy a second prism), you can get his achievement done for all eleven people in an hour. Yes, it is stupid. Yes, you have to stay for the...

Oops, I think I was logged out in my shadow gear anyway. Was disappointed to find out that my sims said mastery = haste > multi = crit > versa, but Icy Veins said multi was on top and mastery was on the bottom. Wasted materials on my DPS ring enchants; good thing I didn't do the neck enchant yet. He...

There really isn't a need to submit a raiding application if there is no raiding toon that would be promoted to that rank upon joining. I'll let Jeff handle the rest.

Thanks for the heads up. We'll clear the trash while we wait. See you when you get back.

I hate people too.

Gotta be brave. -HP

It sounds like you know what you're doing and know how to do independent research, so do what your research tells you to do. If the points Jeff brings up are a concern, run them against your tools to see if they pan out or not (I haven't used shadowcraft in a while, but I think you can swap out gems...

In the gearing process for my rogue, my simulations found that the T16 2 piece bonus causes crit to jump up to the top of the stat priority up to a point. Once you layer in the T16 4 piece bonus, haste overtakes crit. Finally, as iLvl increases and crit saturates (i.e., once crit gets in the 50% nei...

Good to hear that you're okay.
