Re: Where's My Crit, My Damage???

As you level, you need more rating per %. Whether it be hit, haste, or crit.

So what you see happening isn't anything to be shocked by:

Your gear gets progressively worse as you level. It's the natural progression of things.

In essence, the numbers on the gear may be higher (like Chilly Slobberknocker - Item - World of Warcraft) but it really isn't as good as you thought it was, because, other than spell power, everything else scales worse.

I also want to add that I'm in before anybody else suggesting Demo and Affliction builds, just like in BC, are going to scale immeasurably better than any destruction build no matter what gear you are in right now.

Something like this:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

With a Succubus out will scale far better than any deep build of either other tree as DK (just like entering Kara) gives you spell power based on stats.

A deep affliction build will probably have second least amount of diminishing returns as you are less dependent on Crit or Haste to do anything other than make your rotation more manageable.

In any event, don't fret, there's very nice rep and quest rewards out there to get you into shiny Purple Heroics, the badge gear, and Naxx 10, which isn't hard at all.

Spell Critical Strike @ 70 you need 22.0 for 1% crit.
Spell Critical Strike @ 80 you need 45.9 for 1% crit.

Spell Haste @ 70 you need 15.7 for 1% haste
Spell Haste @ 80 you need 32.7 for 1% haste

Resilience @ 70 you need 39.4 for 1% resilience.
Resilience @ 80 you need 81.9 for 1% resilience.

It goes up a little every level. I'm 75. My hit rating was 219 at 70, enough to be over 17% to hit. I'm now down to approx 13% to hit. Same thing happened from 60 - 70, but the rating system was new then, so it wasn't as noticeable.

And there's the Math.

QFT.
