Aye, I just came back from some pretty long break and I’m wondering how my dps should look like. Is 7.1k dps on a doll (self buffs only) for a pala with BiS (non-heroic no-shadowmourne) gear is ok?
How much dps should I deal (also if mine is higher than avg with my gear)?
Thx for the help;]

something I noticed. that will kill dps. is if you dont have 4 piece t-10 and other frost vendor items….. cuz i am missing one piece. and three pieces from the vendor. and i only pull like 5-6 k dps with AV-Zealotry procced.

So gear matters for that.

(been gearing for prot.)

I ran Noth the plagugebringer as the weekly and got 3950dps. My best ever. I started with the Zealotry rotation then when it was on Cooldown I hit Avengers Wrath and spammed HoW. After that back to the standard rotation, CS-filler-CS-filler-CS-TV. Oh and Exocism whenever it proc’d.
Great site Khor, I am learning heaps from it.

It feels like our AOE abilities have gotten weaker without pre-patch Divine Storm. Is it even worth using Seal of Righteousness on multiple elite mobs or just stick with Seal of Truth full time?
If using Divine Storm for AOE, should it only be used when Holy Power reaches 3?

I had a hard time finding a viable use for consecration. In heroics, trash and bosses both died before the damage rose above negation. It’s a shame this spell has so small use on account of it’s 30 sec cd.I’m interested to see how it all works out when i set up my tanking.

HoW has been criting for an insane amount and rarely doesn’t crit in my rotation I have prioritized it right after crusader stike. So far the only thing I have had hit harder is TV of corse. Whats your opinion?

Neocaine, that is a ridiculously excellent point. I noticed that in my 5-mans tonight. Going to be making changes soon

A little confused here, first you state that:

“Hammer of Wrath will always jump up when used with Avenging Wrath, since the restrictions are removed via talents. ”

But later you say:

“Zealotry and Avenging Wrath used in tandem is optimal.”

That, coupled with the fact that during zealotry you will only be hitting CS and TV, where do you fit HoW into that?

As I see it, it’s fairly pointless for AW to lift the restriction off HoW since like I say, you’ll rarely be in a position where it’s not just more beneficial to do CS > TV or CS > TV > TV depending on HoL procs.

Khor on trash pulls do you SoR because its the “new” SoC or do you keep SoT all the time. I personally think that SoR is pretty useless, correct me if I’m wrong.
