Hey everyone!
I'd like to start out this lengthy post by thanking all the boards for all the knowledge and enetertainment you have given me over the last few years. Nothing like checking the boards on a break @ work :)
Today I need some help though...
I have read endless posts that all agree that 10-48-3 is the definitive raid spec (until you get 2 pieces of t5, for AB/AM spam). In the 6 months or so that I have been 70 I have been frost; frost for pvp and frost for raiding.
I am always in the top of whatever raid I am in. (Not saying always #1, but always in contention when in caster dps heavy fights.)
I am sure everyone will want to see how I am geared, so is here my armory link http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Magtheridon&n=Sephir
For the people that don't feel like clicking and looking OR if I am in pvp gear, here are my stats @ raid time.
Frost DMG: 1162
Crit: 23.08
Spell Hit: 158 (I know, I have extra ><)
High Normal Fight Crit: 5653
Interestingly enough, 23.08 seems quite low, but when winters chill is stacked and you factor in empowered frostbolt, my working raid crit chance is 38.08%.
On fights where you have to go "all out" *beginning of Solarion, for example* I have cracked into 1500 dps range for while having my Ele out. Generally, on mage dps heavy fights the only one who really out dps's me is my class leader, who specs 40-0-21 to take advantage of my 18-0-43, and even then its not like he totally blows me out of the water.
Now that you guys have all of the facts, the reason I even made this post in the first place is to ask this question:
10-48-3 is the definitive pre T5 raid spec. Why? Prove it.
Can the dps increase from Molten Fury and the ticking of fireball/ignite procs really annihilate the constant FB/WB spam that I put out?
I am challenging the theorycrafters out there to plug in comprabale spell damage and prove to me that fire is better then ice.
Thanks in advance everyone. Your time is greatly appreciated.
