sorry to bump your post... but loving my shadowpriest

got a screenshot from where we went to blackwing lair last night...
mindflay tick crit for 5.7k! was nuts.... and that was just one tick, one of the other ticks was over 2k...

Just killed KJ yesterday but spriest dmg in sunwell isn't great were still on the low scale about 10-12 on the dmg metres which is pretty much last near the elem shamans and above the tanks, I really just love to be back to my old role as a mana battery it felt good knowing you were doing your group a huge favour, We can do over 2k on a nuke fight now but other classes can reach 3k and give great buffs aswell, I feel my spriest is useless now blizz have said they want to buff our dps but i didn't role a spriest in BC to be on the dmg meter

Instances were seriously nerfed too. I was in a group that did Heroic Steamvaults in under 40 mins. Last night we did 3 heroics in under 3 hours. In Heroic MT the tank was pulling entire rooms and we were clearing them easily.

They have to have been nerfed. Managed to 3man BF yesterday with me and a restro shammy and retridin in just over 30 mins. I seem to take hardly any damage at all. Plus the new aoe tanking with thunderclap is great fun.

Also managed MT at 62 no problems at all. I'm actually getting really bored now, as there is no challenge at all. Ill probably be tanking kara at 68 in greens at this rate.

btw mindflay usually crits at 1.7k max and pre 3.0 it hit for 500 a tick...

I'm loving the changes the patch has brought. I've been playing a balance druid since I started in January 2006, and dear Lord it's nice to finally start putting out decent damage!

What does everyone think of Titan's Grip ?

Ivan

Just like all things warrior, the capability is there for it to be insanely overpowered. With sufficient +hit chance (roughly 39% with the new 12% hit malus on titans grip, the 26% from dual-wielding and the removal of the 1% unavoidalble miss chance) this talent is the single best ability in a warriors arsenal.

However, as it stands, without such a significant hit chance it means a warriors has 39% chance to miss with every special move they do, not just while dual-wielding 2-handers but just while having the talent picked up. That means, on average, 39 special moves out of a hundred, will miss. Thats before dodge/parry/expertise comes into it at all.

All in all though, it puts fury back as the king of PvE dps despite many thinking that Arms might get a peek in at some point, but the requirement to stack so much hit rating makes Fury pretty weak for PvP. Almost seems like nothing has changed
And specing fury without Titans grip just seems wrong somehow

More importantly though, what are your thoughts on Titans grip? This is, after all, a discussion forum... not a "Questions and answers forum"

Anti

Havent used it yes as im pretty much full prot apart from the 3 points for AP from armor. Loving vigilance though, its like some mini salvation. Great for retard mages who think opening with pyro is fine before ive even slapped a devistate/shield slam on the mob. I have a few questions about warriors anyway so i suppose i best start a thread

Ugh its been a while since I've looked into the numbers so they may be off but it should not be that bad for specials unless something has changed mechanics wise. Even for dual wielders on equal level mobs the miss rate on specials is 5%, 1 level up 5.5%, 2 levels up 6%, 3 levels up (boss) 9%.

White dmg then receives the 19% miss penalty, so for rogues etc white dmg miss rates are 24% on equal level, 1 level up 24.5%, 2 levels up 25%, 3 levels up (boss) 28%.

Then the penalty for titans grip.

With regards to my input I have not used it yet. My understanding from a guildie though is that currently deep wounds rolls like ignite? and that the damage is rather insane from it using 2 1 handed weapons and deep wounds at 70. Then you can move up to TG and deep wounds at 80.

Ivan

Yeah, thanks for correcting my numbers. I havent seen deep wounds rolling and I used to play a mage pre-tbc so I know what to look for

Would make Titans grip even more insane if that is the case though.
