next week i'm gonna get focus magic, imp might, feral/ele shaman full time, insane strenght pots. And i'll have rogues use tricks on me on cooldown. Unfortunately we dont always have hunters around so MDs prob wont exist. Was debating whether to try again for prot tps records or go ret =). Decisions, decisions.

You could use some tigthening of the rotation a bit. ShoR is still your highest move, but you are pusing it back for exorcism and AS. Working in AS makes sense, but not really to the delay of ShoR and exorcism is really only beating your judgement. You'll get a reasonable DPS increase by just by prioritizing a little better. On patch you had time for 24 ShoR, but only got off 19.

EDIT: Also pop your wings! On a short fight a 20 second up time skill like that is huge.

Its a top achievement from yourself - thats a massive amount of tps / dmg for a tank to be doing but IMHO get a pimp cane out and show it to your guildies.

If you are able to generate that much threat and damage then they have no excuse not to be pushing the dmg a LOT more than they did that time.

To illustrate a point:

*a top 10 progression guild in the US*

*no 110 - my guild - is a fairly average guild on a fairly average realm*

This week we will be going again and we are going to aim to push the 2 min mark

thats usually the immortal raid.

i can't show up on immortal raid day so i end up going with the alts and whoever's left over. 2min 17 isn't bad with 5 healers. can hit 2 min mark pretty ezily if u chop off the healers

that is just sick damage

Ratann please i'm really surprised,

could you please link me a chardev or somthing like that with your stuff for the TPS ?

I tanked in these parses with my BiS gear setup. (minus mongoose to weapon).

Thank you for going on there and showing a little more accurate picture of how we stand up Ratanna.

yeah their offspec pally got shit on. i was like get me in there lol.

I'm a bit curious on the gear set you use for the nearly 4k DPS on Patch as well. While it was so short, to inflate the Bloodlust uptime, and I saw a Darkmoon Card: Greatness and what appeared to be a Mirror of Truth in there, I am not sure what else you are using. I can get pretty close to 3k myself, and would beat it with some solid class comp, and a shorter fight, I just am not certain what else you are using for the rest....

wall of terror with 40bv enchant. 4pc valorous. i only used 2trinkets and a shield diff. did not gem/enchant for dps.

40 bv is a dps/tps enchant.

i was referring to my regular set gear obviously. i did not use any block oriented gear over my avoidance gear which a lot of ppl are doing these days cuz we're still going for immortal and i dont wanna risk dying.

That clears up my question pretty much. I was mostly curious if it was a set focused on Block Value and/or Hit/Expertise or it was your normal set with a few modifications.

normal set 3 item modification (shield, 2 trinkets)

Also spec modification. Went more points into ret.

Interesting guide, seems like u over rate stamina little bit but.
