Random decrease in Dps with T9

[Toc]

Ok, so it runs like this. im using the macros Furspere posted in his thread running a pala + 4 shammy team
now, pre last patch in my 2t8 and rest ofset peices i was pulling about 4.3k ish dps on spank and tank bosses.
Now, ive pretty much gear saturated myself again. (4 parts t9+ offspet pieces) but whats this i find, my dps is dropping to a 3.3k on spank and tank bosses. Ive tried tweaking the timing on the click macros to no avail. i just seem to be loosing dps hand over foot.

Same macros, more spell power, more crit, and more hit. yet a drop in overal dps.. anyone suffering from the same thing?
is all this new haste i have messing with my macros? or am i just doing something totally wrong all of a sudden.

Are you still hit capped?

And yes, haste will mess with /click macros.

I'm up to 4 pieces of t9 and 2100 spell power. I still don't see north of 4K ever. Almost always less than 3K on trash. I'd be interested to figure out if I'm doing something wrong too. I'm using the click macro that's posted as well.

Haven't gemed for hit tbh as i didnt gem for it pre patch either, as i found that heroics bosses generally dont need that much. just using whatever comes as standard on the gear atm, but strange strange things are happening. like suddenly trial of the champion, the black knight, is a problem again. i mean that wasn't a problem for me when i had a gear level of about 200, now all of a sudden average gear level is about 230 and im getting killed by him. same tactics. just a lack of dps, Same in Forge of souls on the first boss, im just loosing the dps race's. Gone from killing hearld in old kingdom in 17 flat to winding up doing all the insanitys. all around here i read posts of how people are killing bosses in 6-10 seconds.

This is exactly why I don't post macros anymore.

You need to learn to "tune" your macros. There are tons of posts on the subjects

I just respeced a bit, and it seemed to increase my DPS, going to run a few more heroics to figure out how much more dps I'm getting.

[Elemental Mastery]: This talent now increases spell haste by 15% instead of critical strike chance while active.

Are you sure that the DPS decrease is not related to the EM change? If you are popping Bloodlust / Heroism and hit the haste cap then EM is not doing much for you if you pop it in the same period.

Comparison of T8 and T9 (not sure if I used the right sets)

T8 gave you more crit, T9 gives you more haste which will further amplify the problem with using EM and BL/Hero together.

I SERIOUSLY doubt this. Niley is pulling 10,000 DPS with one of his Shaman. I'm still able to pull. 6 - 6.5k with mine.

I am more inclined to believe that this is a failure to write proper macros.

I was testing my macro tonight on the target dummies. I had 5.5k dps on all 3 of my guys without heroism with my updated spec. 4 pieces of t9, about 4300 gear score. 2500sp with all my buffs.

On bosses I don't get near this, I guess it's just the fight mechanics. I get about 3.5K - 4.5K now.

Um if you arent getting near 6-7K in full T9 you are doing something very wrong
