TURN THIS OFF DURING ANUB-ARAK ALREADY ALL OF YOU. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PISSED I GET DURING ANUB WHEN I GET 24 PEOPLE SENDING ME <YOU ARE USING THE WRONG RANK OF REJUVENATION!!!> EVERY 1.5 SECONDS WHEN I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU TO TURN OFF THAT BULLSHIT BEFORE THE FIGHT.


Ok sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest.

Leg Enchants:
www.wowhead.com/?item=Icescale Leg Armor - Melee
www.wowhead.com/?item=Brilliant Spellthread - Caster
www.wowhead.com/?item=Frosthide Leg Armor - Tank

Note about www.wowhead.com/?item=Sapphire Spellthread and www.wowhead.com/?item=Earthen Leg Armor: IMHO no matter what the DPS class, www.wowhead.com/?item=Sapphire Spellthread is useless. You might as well get the SPI from www.wowhead.com/?item=Brilliant Spellthread instead of stam (The only exception here is for Shaman, Paladin healers where SPI really is useless). This isn't PvP, if you pull aggro, l2threat. Yes it's always your fault. (well, not *always* hehe).

I don't agree with this. I prefer the www.wowhead.com/?item=Sapphire Spellthread on my caster dps. You will always be taking AoE / targeted damage from different boss/trash abilities and it has nothing to do with aggro management. I can much easier imagine a situation where 30 stamina saves my ass as to a situation where 20 spirit is going to do anything useful whatsoever. And for Warlocks this is just blatantly wrong.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Your role is DPS, Stam is not a DPS stat. Period. Taking aoe damage? Get out of it. Die because of aoe that you got out of? Fix the healer issue you have.

Stam is not a DPS stat. Period.

http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=44396 Incanter's Absorption caps your spell power gained based on your health total. Due to this I don't feel terrible wearing my stam thread on my pants in PvE since I'm primarily a PvP'r. During PvE encounters I use wards, shields, and my disc priest spamming Power Word: Shield to keep my absorption pegged. Thanks to my high health in PvP gear I can get up to a total of 1250 spell power on this talent alone. I have seen over 4000 spellpower on my mages and on fights like Loken or Broham that do consistant AoE dmg I can break 10k DPS self buffed, no heroism, no sweat.

I'd like to add a disclaimer for all the people arguing for their characters that stam is better than spirit:
Even with the above information the following must be said. I would never wear that enchant on a raiding toon. I just wanted to show an example of stam used as a DPS stat... It still is NOT my best enchant in that slot for DPS and I doubt many other classes are getting that kind of bonus damage from their stamina. I would lawl at myself in a raid environment.

10/10 Svper, excellent guide for noob raiders.

I agree, 1 extra (or in my case 3) extra Lifetapping goodness.

Good info though.....like a quick start reference.

The reason I say use the SP / SPI leg enchant is this:

Spirit
Much better than it used to be thanks to the new Fel Armor. Without Demonic Aegis you gain 30% of your spirit as spell power and 39% with. The amount of mana rewarded through Life Tap also scales with spirit.

Also thinus, I don't understand why you're saying 20 STA > 20 SPI when your lock is using the 20 SPI leg enchant: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...ssan&n=Msblack
