OK,

New guild and new opportunities. My question this time is what do I lose from my 40/21/0 build by mixing it up a bit to this?

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=oi0Vc0fzxIzbZxgMzfcZ0h

I know that Mind Mastery drops off, but is the compensation from the 3% mana/to hit from Elemental Precision making up for that until I get better "to hit" gear?

I'm not naive enough to believe that this is an orignal build, so what am I missing?

Myth

EDIT: grammar

Judgement of Wisdom really helps keep the mana pool going with AM spam. Smiley: inlove my prot paladin. Mark of Defiance seems like it would help too.

Even with the damage tax off,I am still thinking my 41/20/0 build is the one to keep until I have more Bonus Damage. I went to theorycraft and ran the numbers though, and a respec to 10/48/3 showed me as having more overall damage in a long boss kill. I am so confused. I have gotten a couple of nice upgrades, but I know my gear still has some room to grow.

Stay? Respec? I truly don't have my mind made up.

With your current gear level, 10/48/3 is indeed the way to go. 650ish +dmg or so is where I normally recommend the switch from 40/21/0 to 10/48/3.

Hey i noticed something today, with the new patch i did a respecc. I went from 10/0/51 to 41/0/21. The last build was built that i would have the lessest mana cost for a frostbolt and still ice block but not with shatter. It was a build for primaly raids. My damage was more atleast that described the character sheet. Ofcourse nice damage came when in arcane power and trinket but i wasn't all that cheerfull. So i went back to 10-0-51 but without shatter and frostbite. I went for the + dmg talents and with perma frost and improved blizzard i noticed i could do perfectly too. Then i started to compare the damage. I was from 828 as 41-0-21 to 726 as 10-0-51 and i noticed the difference was none. There was no difference between the damage output. So now i stay frost, it the same damage output as the arcane frost type and i got frost shield, ice block and ofcourse my water ellemental. It is very nice and ill stay this way. Just wanted you guys to know. :>
Bye

All,

I know I have beat this thread to death, but I want advice once more. This is now my gear:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Farstriders&n=Mythtake

and I will have the matching spellstrike hood as soon as I get one more Primal Might. I have also farmed the mats for the Runic Spellthread for the pants. Next week I will be replacing the off-hand with the Merc Endgame. I am also now in a guild that is clearing Kara and Gruuls every week. With the Kara/Gruul drops in mind, what do I keep my eye out for? I can see no really significant items until T5 raiding worth spending DKP on. This is especially true as some of the people I raid with are needing gear as well.

I am doing the heroic daily's and saving badges. Where to upgrade first, or just save up for something special?

I just got the heroic badge offhand (the new 35-badger) it's pretty nice, a healthy blend of stam/int/[haste!]/dmg

oh, and for raiding your hit rating is way too low, it should be at least 3x what you currently have. Instead of picking up +9dmg gems get the +8hit ones until you can get other gear to balance it.
