I, too, ...Thanks for the great insight, as always.<br /><br />I, too, would like to see some calculations for IS, both glyphed and unglyphed, at this level. There are obvious benefits to giving a tank more mitigation, however it is just as important to know what constitutes the best straight burn damage at any given time. Obviously while moving is when you should throw up dots if they aren't up already, no matter what eclipse you're in. However, if it is better damage to not refresh a dot, even minorly, that extra edge can add up in dps race fights, especially if it just something like phase 3 of putricide, and you would then put off the dots until maximum effectiveness while running away from a new slime to your next location, rather than having to clip a dot to refresh during that time.<br /><br />Also, is it going to be the same for somebody in 4 of the 251 tier? AKA, is it the gear level and sp that makes this happen, is it purely the mechanics of the 4pc bonus, or something in between? This would be helpful both to those in 10 man only groups and those that haven't been able to get the tier upgrade tokens yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-84466779120222861722010-01-31T16:31:41.114-06:002010-01-31T16:31:41.114-06:00@Nauzet: having moonfire ticking if you cant do an...@Nauzet: having moonfire ticking if you cant do anything else does not make it better. To simplify, take one global cooldown, and will not be able to extend moonfire; the greater wrath damage right before the downtime is still more than the unextended moonfire ticking during the downtime. Higher DPeT is higher DPeT. When it does the damage is irrelevant.<br /><br />@Maestro: IS has a higher DPeT than unextended moonfire, and a higher DPeT than eclipsed starfire, at least for anyone I know, worth checking in WC once more gear is attained. But there has been a recent shift in glyphing by some moonkins because of the terrible scaling of DoTs along with ICC mechanics. Some have shifted to glyph of starfall, which is about a 100 dps loss on single target, but aligns starfall with more aoe opportunities. This also gives 3% miss debuff to the raid, and some, including me, think this tradeoff is worth it. Basically: glyph of IS makes it worth keeping up, and unglyphed, it is still a very small DPS loss, and I choose to keep it up for the debuff. (Not important now, but tank damage in hardmodes will probably increase a ton) Is also improves wraths damage output via IIS, and is absolutely worth keeping up for solar.Valrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-13275572499408613742010-01-31T16:20:00.381-06:002010-01-31T16:20:00.381-06:00Is skipping Insect Swarm worth doing?Is skipping Insect Swarm worth doing?Meowmixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-26464065309608661192010-01-30T23:54:52.966-06:002010-01-30T23:54:52.966-06:00feels like we're saying this sort of thing a l...feels like we're saying this sort of thing a lot lately: "Yes, it's a small increase, but it complicates your rotation and probably is not worth the effort to gauge it."<br /><br />If Moonfire is such a weak DoT that we would consider skipping it during a Solar Eclipse, what would we say about IS in a Lunar Eclipse? And if we would say the same thing about it, what would we then say about the Glyph of IS?<br /><br />It has always been my impression (and my empirical data) that IS accounts for less total damage than MF.<br /><br />Interesting food for thought I guess.Maestrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00115313553294837312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-86911772748815164912010-01-30T23:29:53.002-06:002010-01-30T23:29:53.002-06:00Hi

In many ICC fights you have to move, change your target or you are stunned, in such situation its better to have something doing damage. At least, it's good to know that in some situations is better skipping a moonfire.<br /><br />Thanks for your blog :DUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03226681917658860322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-51379092372252259072010-01-30T17:30:02.575-06:002010-01-30T17:30:02.575-06:00Graylo,
