Let's use your own toon as an example. Let's assume you join a raiding guild with a GM that tries to organize raids efficiently by taking raid synergy into account. This will allow you to get rid of those pesky hit gems and that PvP trinket. This will subsequentially allow you to stack up more spell power and haste, which you really need as these values are extremely low at the moment. Hey and guess what, that Shadow Priest/Moonkin didn't only help you, it helped 15 other member in the raid. It's a win/win situation


I still don't get what backlash and backdraft have to do with anything here? Anyway, Incinerate doesn't 'consume' anything. When receiveing a melee hit, you simply have a chance to gain an instant cast. Backdraft reduces the casting speed of your next three spells.

In your opinion trying to hit that is to high.
In your opinion no one should ever raid without a boomkin or SP.
In your opinion everyone should have 3 points in suppression.

State those things as opinion and not fact.

We don't all have the luxury of having a boomkin or sp. I should also mention that the majority of help me with my DPS threads are not coming from warlocks who are raiding in a hard core 25 man raiding guilld... it is very likely they may not have either in a raid and need to know what to do in case they do not.

Do I maintain seperate pieces of gear to get me over 17% in case they aren't available, yes I do. Do i have other gear that is higher DPS that puts me at a little over 14%? Yes, I do. But having the knowledge to maintain both it what makes the difference.
