Namour Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Hello Ajik, thanks for your application! For reforging, I like to use the ingame addon Reforge Lite. It allows you to set your own stat weights, and correctly reflects all upgraded gear, etc. It also has default settings for each spec and class. Once you load the addon from Curse, you simply go to the reforger. When you open a dialogue with the NPC, the interface for the addon pops up. You can see a summary of the suggested reforge in your stat box. You can then play around with stat weights and see how it changes the outcomes. When you are ready to do the reforge, you press one button and every piece of gear is reforged according the solution. Very easy to play around. As for Mr Robot's advice, it is notoriously bad for hunters. His take on hit cap simply is not supported by the math. If it were a net gain to be slightly below the cap, every hunter who does the math (which is most of the raiders in end game hardcore progression guilds) would all be following this approach. None do... Edited April 3, 2013 by Namour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajik Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hit capped and reforged. On target dummy without raid buff I seem to do about 0.8-1k more damage over 10 minutes. Also have some new logs here: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-3v811ofrhq8m3n2e/sum/damageDone/ Wiping on Dumuru makes me lose hair..

Ashin Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Nice to see you followup on the advice given. Glad you saw some positive results - figure the 1k will be magnified when you have full raid buffs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you saw some positive results - figure the 1k will be magnified when you have full raid buffs, etc. For sure, solid advises witih reforging and pre potting, I've seen quite a significant increase in almost every fight. Jin'rokh: ~163k up from 146k Horridon: ~200k up from 175k Megaera: ~115k up from 101k Ji-Kun: ~118 up from 88k Doing good on Dumuru too, just didn't kill it last night.

Raer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Also a big increase comes from encounter familiarity. Better timing of cooldowns and knowledge of where to stand lets you focus more on your rotation. Nice work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridur Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I see you fixed your gems, and fixed your hit cap good job on taking advice. When I reforge your toon and gemmed, i got big increase For mr. Robot you have to play with the stat weights to make it reforge your hunter correctly. Just make sure its AGI>hit/exp cap> crit> haste >mastery and you 'll be fine Edited April 4, 2013 by Stridur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
