Factoring crits, I'm sure that number is actually a lot closer to even.<BR/><BR/>In the bigger picture, I would have thought a BM spec would shoot more than 299 arcane shots.

The RNG is just too strong. And if you go with the re-gemming, you only lose out on 64AP, not 168 :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990777158074596082.post-68952480293318755712009-01-30T15:17:00.000-05:002009-01-30T15:17:00.000-05:00Bah, dang non-editing comments.

So I definitely don't lose 700K damage.<BR/><BR/>And now we know why I don't do theory crafting....I hate being bothered with the details.<BR/><BR/>A more accurate gauge of what I'd lose with 168 AP is to figure out what that equates to in terms of DPS, then multipy that by the total seconds of combat and subtract the result from my damage total.<BR/><BR/>That would be my true loss, but I'm just feeling too lazy to math it out....Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163970891615204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990777158074596082.post-12836166494714458902009-01-30T14:34:00.000-05:002009-01-30T14:34:00.000-05:00If it were me, I'd put +16 Hit gems in your gun, y...If it were me, I'd put +16 Hit gems in your gun, you first belt slot, your first boot slot, and your second helm slot. That boosts your Hit to 162...one point shy of the cap if you're specced 3/3 into Focused Aim.<BR/><BR/>You lose a whopping 64AP, 24 Crit rating, and 12 Sta. The crit rating can be made up with an Agility pot or buff food and 64AP..when you're sporting around 5K buffed..is nothing dude. :)<BR/><BR/>Also you're forgetting that getting Hit Capped is for the boss fights where the damage from misses adds up. Keep in mind that your numbers need to be modified to take Multi-shot and Volley out of the equation. They account for nearly 1/3 of your total damage but I know you aren't using them on boss fights..or at least not nearly as much as you are on trash.<BR/><BR/>Hit Rating is for bosses man..where misses can add up. You're forgetting that Hit Rating transfers to your pet too. If you're missing, so is your pet which equals more damage lost..especially when your pet accounts for 30-40% of your dps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990777158074596082.post-90091847259134294062009-01-30T13:47:00.000-05:002009-01-30T13:47:00.000-05:00Point taken.

BUT... All the agility and attack power and crit gear in the world won't turn even one of those misses into a hit, much less another crit.<BR/><BR/>So when you get those Heroics going, help your raid even more by capping your hit rating. It isn't that hard. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
