Revised DPS cycle #2

Testing on the dummy, the original idea did not work out so well, the timing was off and a cycle lock would happen.

With some adjustments, the final dps cycle goes like this..

#show
/castsequence reset=3 Icy Touch, Howling Blast, Plague Strike, Blood Strike, Blood Strike, Frost Strike

Talent points where then respecced to remove the tanking skills and added them to the blood tree..


DPS went from 1300 to 1500. Which was an improvement. Now looking at gear and a better main hand weapon to improve that further.
Check the armur for my current talent tree.

Main DPS Cycle

One touch macro revision.
Old
#show
/castsequence reset=4 Plague Strike, Icy Touch, Blood Strike, Blood Strike, Howling Blast
(If Rime Proc's hit Obliterate)

Revised for testing
#show
/castsequence rest=3 Icy Touch, Howling Blast, Plague Strike, Blood Strike, Obliterate, Blood Strike,

Following some fights in Naxx, i noticed i was looking at Obliterate, and Frost strike within the cycle, adding 2 extra abilities within the cycle screwing things up.
With some tests on a dummy, i should be able to see if this cycle locks out at all.

Duel Spec's & UI's

With the duel spec available i was playing around with 2 separate specs for Tanking and DPS'ing.

Frost Blood DPS Spec Taking out all of the tanking abilities, this build is based on crits, AP and rune generation

Frost Unholy DPS Spec is more about auto attack curses in addition to the forst crits and runic generation, the macros remain the same, in rotation. Although i prefer the 1st spec

Tanking Spec is pretty much what i am specced at the moment....

Decided to wipe my UI after being offline for so long, and try out Roth UI
I added Omen, Wardrobe2, Baggins and something else...oh yes fubar for wardrobe. Carbonite was being an ass, so i took it off again, kept spewing some lua message. Screen shot is an example from the UI download page. Ui looks good, need to scale down the target bars though, and see what its like ina raid, but we will see.

Musing....
