Hey all...
I posted a couple of weeks ago as to what i should do about gear & spec etc.
Well my gear has much improved since then http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Alonsus&n=Tapole
I respecced to 40/0/21 from full frost and it is a world of difference in raids and instances. I've gone from non raiding a couple of weeks ago to clearing kara, 4 bosses in ZA & Gruul. I got rid of my frozen shadoweave set over the weekend and got my hands on whatever i could to replace it. Basically my plan was to switch to fire once i was shot of the gear. Well, i also tried that. And i can pretty much say it was a failure. I realize that my crit isn't high enough for fire and i do lose a lot of spell dmg from not having so many points in arcane. Well, dps was my problem. I went to SP straight after going 3/47/11 i immediately knew i was screwed. Throughout the whole instance, my dps averaged 650 - 700.
On the same instance with my arcane/frost and same gear, i get about 850 - 950 dps. Should there really be that big a difference with the same gear? Or am i just a fire noob? On trash i was just using fireball and on bosses x5 scorch/x1 fireball/repeat. I also tried 40/21/0 to boost my crit and spell dmg, but the dps was only marginally better. So can anyone tell me where i might be going wrong? My knowledge points me towards my low crit, which i'm trying to fix with more boj gear.
Am i on the right track, or should i give fire another go with my current gear?
