how to get higher spell critFollow

#1 Apr 02 2008 at 11:09 AM Rating: Decent
I have just started playing end game on my boomkin. My gear helps with mana regen, and I have my spell damage up, but in order to be helping in kara, za, etc I need high dps fast. What can I do to up my spell crits?

For casters in general, the most important stat for DPS is spell hit. My caster is a Destro/Demo lock, so he actually gets extra mileage from spell crit for ISB procs. I don't know for moonkins at what point (if any) stacking extra spell crit is a bigger boost in DPS than stacking spell damage.

From WoWWiki, with 2/2 Balance of Power you need 152 spell hit rating to be hit-capped against raid bosses.

There is just no feasible way to increase crit chance when you're just about to start raiding and doing heroics, especially when you're like me and refuse to wear cloth.

I just keep telling myself that I dont do any damage at all if

- I'm out of mana
- I miss with a spell or it gets resisted
- I'm dead because of being too squishy

In my current raid-ready PvE outfit I have (self-buffed,ImpMoTw only):

9184 Health
8645 Mana

825 Damage
925 Healing
112 Hit Rating
21.1 % Crit
43 Penetration (thats from wearing PvP pieces along with Windhawk so kinda wasted stats for PvE. oh well...)
310/155 Mana Regen


All that while maintaining 13800 Armor for a 56.66% reduction (and 264 Resilience due to the PvP pieces)

Still missing enchants on gloves and chest and only have the basic Scryers shoulder enchant right now.

In caster form, Outfitter switches to Gladiator's Salvation and Windcaller's Orb, giving me something like +1200 healing while in combat. Rather nice to have if things go bad...

Get the addon called recount, helps alot. Shows all the spell crit, mana regen, etc an item gives(it compares it to your current item in that slot too)

Recount is a damage meter. I think you're thinking of something like RatingBuster. I don't use it, but what it should do is show you how much crit you'll actually get from crit rating and Int, and other useful information.
