Zao's thread!

Instead of making a new thread any time I want to say somtehing, I'll keep your forum clean and just post it here.

So I got Alanna's Embrace today (novelty roll)..and I had some fun with it.

http://tinyurl.com/zohha

Oh, and I have a completly new set of RP gear I hope you guys like ;)

I actually got that yesterday aswell! Maybe they increased the droprate..

See, I plan on getting all of those really, really rare drops that they supposedly buffed (Embrace of the Wind Serpent from ST), or Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, or Blackblade of Shahram, or dual Felstrikers on Zao...

I think it would be sweet to be the Anti-christ of mages on this server!

hehe

Zidien you piece of crap! I SO had you right there 1v1!!

[Zidien]

Keep trying Zao, i'll keep 2-3 shotting you.

Edit: For example, I thought this was funny.

I think the most frightening is still definitely seeing Pippy charging at you with his head bigger than your entire body.

Have you seen him with Conquerers helm? He looks like a mini Predator.

Yeah, doesn't it? ;)

On another note, Naxx is fun.

And I need another pet to level..I am not used to actually playing with a level 60 pet.

so why havent u rerolled horde yet?

zao dont want to reroll cause hes scared of me !

lol wardon, you shoulda had 1 dollar bills around that sig!

I would obliterate Wardon, but I like killing irien ;)

wardon is so kool
i wish i could be half of wat he is :( but he is so small already, i'd be really small! :P

...Is that bitch at your shoulder Hemale?! o_O

[Deathwalk]

LOL leet sig

I wonder why Schmuckman would kill, or even consider attacking my alt.

I could slaughter his him on zao before he would even get in range, and that's his main.

Nice 10 Warlock WSG ;)

In the end though, Soul Link is useless without your felhunter out.

<3 Desire, or whoever was carrying the flag alot ;)

[Desire]

lol i got nuked hard, lol almost didn't think we'd get that 1st cap cause I was nuked hard, my fel died, i fel dom'd for a 2nd fel, and ran with 500 hp left and 3 dots on me. i made it far enuff that I could pass the flag to Kelsur for the cap. lol

Yeah, we thought it was over when you were 2-0 and had both flags almost in your flag room, but something changed and that cap didn't go through.

You should've seen me slaughtering all those succy's and imps ;)

way to kill our fun with ur stupid dwarven priest!!! :cry:

We still win, even though we lost... makes sense to me.

wtb rikktor in my 10 warlock wsg

Zao reminded me of how gay night elf hunters are in PvP.

Did I kill you a few times Indian? ;)

Did I kill you a few times Indian? ;)

No, you only actually killed me once - I killed you three times though!

Zao you should immediatly post that picture of you in that dress just to clarify to Indian the maximum gay NEs can be in general. :D

Oh I know how gay they can be. I was a night elf druid back in the day.



















(Then I went back in the closet)

Lol.

==Summarising this information==
From what I have been reading, I understand this.

• When they refer to a cycle, they are simply referring to the time between the casting of Aimed Shot. Depending on the weapon speed, the shot rotation varies from eight to twelve seconds, according to weapon speed. A cycle usually consists of the initial autoshot at 0.50 seconds, followed by two autoshots, and then the casting of Aimed shot. Multishot, if timed correctly, is an instant cast, and will not inhibit the timing of autoshot.

• When they talk about going full, or clipped cycles, they are simply referring to when you are going to hit Aimed Shot. Do you wait that extra one second for your [soon to be] fourth autoshot, or hit Aimed Shot at the third autoshot mark? It all depends on the speed and damage of the weapon, which makes more send the more you read it.

Now, for Item comparisons, stat wise.

I will be comparing the stats for these weapons, though it may take a day or two for me to get everything posted and in an easy-to-read format.

• Huhuran's Stinger (Huhu's) [2.7 Speed]
• Rhok'delar (Rhok) [2.9 Speed]
• Larve of the Great Worm (LotGW) [3.0 Speed]
• Ashjre'thul (Ash) [3.4 Speed]
• Blessed Qiraji Musket (BQM) [2.6 Speed]
• Crossbow of Imminent Doom (CoID) [3.1 Speed]

These are the weapons that we have access to, and are within reach.

*Note: this is using the gear from the studies done. I have not researched the gear or done any of my calculations (as of yet), but the numbers will only improve with better gear.
*Sidenote: hunters: this may not be nice to hear, but if we need to respec for doing more overall damage in raids, it would definately be worth it, especially in naxxrammas. Any ounce of more damage we can do, or provide utility to the raid will be helpful.

Format will be: [CoID] | [BQM] | [Ash] | [LotGW] | [Rhok] | [Huhu's]

Abbreviations:
f - Full Cycle
c - Clipped Cycle

==Marksman Spec==
Name: [CoID] [Ash] [LotGW] [Rhok] [Huhu's]
Speed: [3.1] [2.6] [3.4] [3.0] [2.9] [2.7]
Best Cycle DPS: 547c | 525f | 571f | 558c | 534c | 525f
Worst Cycle DPS: 507f | 506c | 503c | 530f | 517f | 517c
Autoshot DPS: 276 | 286 | 283 | 290 | 282 | 286
End Cycle Time: 11.59 | 10.28 | 9.41 | 11.33 | 11.07 | 10.54

[b]==Survival Spec==
Name: [CoID] [Ash] [LotGW] [Rhok] [Huhu's]
Speed: [3.1] [2.6] [3.4] [3.0] [2.9] [2.7]
Best Cycle DPS: 516c | 497f | 539f | 528c | 506c | 498f
Worst Cycle DPS: 478f | 480c | 463c | 501f | 490f | 492c
Autoshot DPS: 283 | 294 | 291 | 298 | 289 | 294
End Cycle Time: 11.59 | 10.28 | 9.41 | 11.33 | 11.07 | 10.54
Comment: I do disagree with the numbers on Survival spec, and feel that they were not properly calculated with the 15% agility. Those numbers seem way, way too low. When I Respec'd from LR to TSA, I lost almost 300 AP, over 5% crit, and nearly 10 DPS with the same gear.

Keep in mind, that there are differences in mana regeneration when a target is judged. Ash has a big DPS advantage, but is very slow, and doesn't make great use of a Judgement of Wisdom. With mana oils etc, the mana lost can be made up.

Total number of Autoshots before Aimed Shot is cast in a cycle:
Name: [CoID] [BQM] [Ash] [LotGW] [Rhok] [Huhu's]
Speed: [3.1] [2.6] [3.4] [3.0] [2.9] [2.7]
Total Shots: 3 3 2 3 3 3
So, every cycle, assuming full buffs, you would gain this much mana [per cycle].
Judgment of Wisdom: 59 every Hit
Blessing of Wisdom: 33 every 5 Seconds
Mageblood Potion: 12 every 5 Seconds
Lesser Mana Oil (x2): 16 every 5 Seconds

Comment: Keep in mind that I am not factoring in any Cryptstalker gear, simply for the sake of keeping it general with the hunters.
Also, it should be noted that I am not factoring in any regeneration from Spirit, as that's a pain to generalise with the hunter class, simply because I have not researched how it works.
One more thing: I am rounding numbers down in the End Cycle Time, and only running one rotation. I will not factor in the time it takes to fill out the cycle's mana regeneration at this time. Think of every cycle as either 9 or 10 seconds.

Assuming you are 5/5 Efficiency (which you [b]SHOULD be), and casting Aimed Shot and Multishot in the initial rotation, you are expending a total of [190 210] 300 Mana per cycle, rounded down. To make up for this, you could double or triple the rotations for the mana/5 to factor itself in fully, and then see where you are with Ash.


Name: [CoID] [BQM] [Ash] [LotGW] [Rhok] [Huhu's]
Speed: [3.1] [2.6] [3.4] [3.0] [2.9] [2.7]
Total Shots: 4 4 3 4 4 4
End Cycle Time: 11.59 10.28 9.41 11.33 11.07 10.54
Mana Generated: 358 358 238 358 358 358
Mana Expended: 358 358 238 358 358 358

In reality, you'd need a bot to keep up with those "perfect" cycle speeds.. Making every hunter a noob.

Doing a clipped cycle is the easiet ;)

Does sucking still include whooping yer arse?

If by that you mean just barely killing me when I was level 1 with your Hunter? I suppose...

Barely killing you? LOL Barely. I aimed shot you so hard your computer went into safe mode.
