Need Help. . . . Desperately

Post by Joneleth

Hey there, I need help. and yes, I have already checked all the stickies, and to be honest, the FFB one from elitist just made my head hurt.

I'm currently using FFB build and well, to be honest, im only pulling 1.4 - 1.6 DPS during raids
Here's my Armory : http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Darkspear&cn=Elarinth&gn=Red+Crayon+Aristocrats

Now, just wanna know a couple of things.
First, Is my hit enough already? cause I lowered my SP to get to 309 Hit. Am I correct in doing that? or am I over shooting my hit.

Second, My current rotation as FFB is to LB => Scorch x 5 => FFB, If HS procs, Pyro, if not FFB, renew LB and Scorch as needed. Is this correct?

Finally, I knw im currently not enchanted, but is it worth getting the Titanium Spellshock rings over what I currently have?

Right now, I've only done Naxx 3-4 times, and I got just 1 item from it (the ring), and I wanna be able to do raids more often, but I'm afraid that my pitiful DPS is simply not gonna cut it.

Change your chest enchant to +8 all stats or +10 all stats. Get a blacksmith to craft an eternal belt buckle for your belt. Enchant your bracers, feet, gloves, shoulders, and rings (since you're an enchanter). If you don't run with a boomkin/shadow priest, get a lot more hit (you'll want 14%). If you do, lose a small amount (you'll want 11%).

Mahbauls, i'm not sure what you mean about the armory's uptime.. i rarely ever have any issues with it. And i'm not sure FFB is considered the lowest dps spec anymore (aside from deep frost of course), but i don't feel like looking at the moment. Even if it is, it's not a lot lower than arcane, and it's perfectly acceptable, even preferred over arcane, in a lot of fights because it's much more mana efficient.

I had a lot of success with FFB spec when my guild was just starting ulduar.

I had around 600 haste and was going oom like crazy with FB - fights took a long time (eg, barely beating a yogg enrage timer....not getting some draining poison dispells) - so having the extreme efficiency was really helpful - or not having to freak out when an evocation got messed up during some wiping-to-learn events.

FFB is also really sick for gimmicky fights like Hodir and Vezax so I've kept it as a backup spec.

FB's the best on paper for the moment - though we'll all never know down the road.

see i always did... tolerable with ffb, but i think i just don't have the right gear for it yet. i do much better overall damage/dps as arcane. i could pretty easily switch out a couple extra pieces and get the necessary hit rating for FFB with a minimal amount of other stat sacrifice, i just... i dunno, i like it for the gimicky fights, like you said.. but it's just far too RNGy otherwise for my tastes. i know i saw a pretty significant decrease in dps when i tried it again maybe when i get some better gear i'll give it a go again.

Thanks for the input. I changed out some of my gear (namely, one of the rings for a titanium Spellshock) and regemmed. Managed to get hit up to 372, since the people i usually run with are neither spriests nor boomkins. Also got most of the enchants on my gear up, except the shoulders they're only the lesser ones from hodir (not yet revered, working on it). Im gonna try a 10 man naxx now to see how my dps improves. thanks guys.
