I've looked at my equipment, spell rotation, glyphs, etc. and can't find the problem. Did everyone else get ALOT better? I'm very discouraged =/Rizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871450866952616362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-87336455904087316992009-04-23T09:45:00.000+01:002009-04-23T09:45:00.000+01:00Azurae, that's a very smart suggestion.

And yes, my crit rate is relatively low. I've written before about how saturated the dps cloth is in haste, I've simply not been able to find enough crit gear with hit to stay capped. Looks like I'm going to have to work harder to turn that around.Merlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268596977879215079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-89192990204057457492009-04-22T21:58:00.000+01:002009-04-22T21:58:00.000+01:00Heyla,

We have 2 SP in our raids, I tend to prefer crit over haste due to latency issues, and the other SP was the opposite. Pre-patch he was slightly ahead of me, but we were still pretty close. Post patch in Ulduar I came out ahead quite a bit. So that could be what happened with you?Azuraenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-29677505246025062732009-04-21T19:14:00.000+01:002009-04-21T19:14:00.000+01:00If it's any consolation, it's happening to my shad...If it's any consolation, it's happening to my shadow priest, too. Or at least it did in our first night of 25s. I barely cracked 3k a lot of attempts. Just take another look at your rotation/priority scheme. Especially on fights like XT, it is IMPERATIVE to keep DoTs up <I>all the time.</I> I wasn't doing it and my DPS suffered. They can crit now, after all. <br /><br />Good luck ... at least for now, all I can say is SHADOW BUFFS MY BUTT, BLIZZ.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338465547298726792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-76313163901655210812009-04-21T15:43:00.000+01:002009-04-21T15:43:00.000+01:00That's not good - I've moved in the opposite direc...That's not good - I've moved in the opposite direction (from 3-5 to 9-10).

I'm pretty much constantly #1-3 caster in 25-man raid, though we often have 3-5 melees in front of us. Overall for yesterday's 3.5h raid I was #5 on overall damage done. Definitely not bad :)<br /><br />Before the patch I was around #10-15 on Patchwerk, though still in top #5 overall on bosses.Ho Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177815588184912351noreply@blogger.com
