Balance - All leather with emphasis on Hit>Haste>Mastery
Feral - All Lether with emphasis on hit/expertise>Agi>Mastery

- What glyphs do you use for each spec and why:

Balance

Moonfire and IS because I have 2 dots that I want to hit harder
Starsurge because it make starfall CD shorter and I get more DPS
Rebirth so I rez people with full heal and they don't get 1 shot with low health
Starfall to shorten a CD
Innervate so I get mana too
Unburdened so I do not need a reagent
other 2 are fill

Feral

Savage roar, Mangle, and rip for more damage
Rebirth for same as before
Rest are for range and fill

IS, moonfire, starfall, treants, Starsurge, starfire till wrath procs and then wrath till starfire procs, keep up the dots, and Starfall when off CD

Get rid of Herbalism already and get a real profession.

[Daismoon]

more haste....more haste...more haste

[Velna]

Are you really going to try and argue that an effective 80 haste is better then a 80 int bonus?

[Daismoon]

Am I really going to argue? No the int bonus is better this is just my herbalist

[Ninetales]

We're looking for people that are ultra competitive and strive to max their characters performance. This may also be a jab at some of the raiders in the guild that have lost that competitive edge for their toons, but if you're not willing to swap herbalism for a profession providing int, then we can't really take this app any further seeing as our members won't take you seriously.

[Zoomkin]

Ok so I'm going to critic you and this is nothing personal, this is just honest changes to your character.

First for gear, 2p/2p is not very good at all. The 4pT12 is higher dps dispite what stats the higher ilvl pieces have from T13 TILL you can use all 4 pieces of T13 at 397 ilvl or higher.

Next, you should not be using hybrid purple gems. If you need spirit reforge into it. Gems = int and you can not reforge into int. You should use 2 red gems in your chest for higher int value. The belt is acceptable since its red blue.

Next Starsurge glyph is not something you should be using by default. It has it's uses for multi target fights but usually under preforms. Wrath glyph on most fights in dragon soul will give you a higher dps by a large margin. You can only thing about using SS glyph full time once you are using 4pT13

Last this is just a small one but, furor is a useless talent above an ilvl of like 365. You actually produce more mana than you use as balance at higher gear levels. You would get a small dps gain by putting 2 points into Blessing of the Grove and get a raid survivability gain from 2 points into Perseverance. Basically Furor is a waste for you. Also consider getting 2 points into Gale Winds, same deal you don't need mana and if you do something is wrong.

That's about it.

[Daismoon]

Now Zoomkin is who I was hoping to talk to....Invicible told me you were over here but you changed your name so I did not see you...as far as the herbalism goes, I had been thinking about changing to Enchanting to get the 80 int on my rings; however, I just never got around to it. With being in a F&F guild, the herbs were helping out. I would be willing to change it if I can get into a more hardcore raiding guild.

I ticketed a GM and got the tier chest from LFR...that with the gloves from LFR in my bags gives me the 4 piece...although 2 pieces are LFR. This is why I was not worried about the gems. I will be going straight int in that chest.

I will switch the glyph out...

Last I did not know about moving the talent points and will give that a shot. Most everything you read on Boomkin sites point to the spec I currently have. I also try to use askmrrobot.com for gem, ench, and re-forging. If you know of a better site for boomkins, please let me know.

Thanks Zoom for the advise...

[grouch]

you say that you'd change out herbalism if you got into a better guild. keep in mind that you're not getting into this one until after you change.

Feral - All Lether with emphasis on hit/expertise>Agi>Mastery

- What glyphs do you use for each spec and why:
...

Savage roar, Mangle, and rip for more damage

Not that it matters much because it's your offspec but you are very very wrong about all of this.

Agi >>> anything, secondary stats are all very close in value so it depends more on the fights mechanics to decide how you should reforge. Hit/Expertise are only really valueable for Swipe damage and even then you only need a little since most adds are below level 88. As far as glyphs, there's no scenario where you'd use savage roar, and mangle is only good on un-shredable fights.

[smcunn]

I hope I am not out of place by saying this because I am not a member but I must disagree on something I saw.

Agi is not kittys greatest stat by far.

Wdps is such a HUGE thing for ferals it is almost absurd how much a single staff upgrade can do to their dps.
That being said you were on point with hit/expertise and not having to be capped on either (while a plus) it is not mandatory it is very viable to dip below caps.

Weapon dps is not a reforgable or stackable stat, so its more of a moot point and doesn't really have a point in the discussion itself.

To a disagreement it is only rendered moot to the point because the statement is being thrown out and taken out of context. When a outlandish and bold statement as Agi>all stats is wrong and is pointed out, at this point it is relevant and in perfect context.
