So, I have had this [Shaft of Glacial Ice] in my bags for a while, but hadn’t put it on to replace my ilvl 245 staff. It has gobs of hit, and I was already capped. I didn’t want to waste the itemization.

Reforging is the answer! I removed hit from a ton of my equipment, and now i’m right at the cap, with the new staff!

Head on over to “Simply Enchanting” in dalaran to give it a try!

Presented in it’s entirety for posterity.

Hi Fitz

Foenix lvl 80 NE hunter Kul Tiras

Am so confused re auto shot. In short, when must I use it ie press auto shot button? My gs is 5.7k and I seldom do more than 3k dps:-(

Was sv before patch 4, now tried mm and bm.

Thanks a ton if you have time to help.

You don’t ever press the autoshot button. I am going to assume you are talking about steady shot, in which case you use that when you’re low on focus.

I found him on the EU Armory, so I’ll blame the poor typing on that.

What’s of greater concern to me than the autoshot button question is the insane amount of hit rating he has. As you can see, he’s at almost 13 percent hit rating, which is certainly not helping his DPS, as everything above the 8 percent cap is wasted itemization.

Fix that, work on your rotation, and your DPS will get better.

I recently finished reading Christie Golden’s “The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm,” and in the spirit of actually working on this blog again, I’m reviewing it for your edification. Or annoyance. Whatevs.

Note: If you read a review of a novel, and expect for there not to be spoilers, you’re an idiot. But, I’m putting a break in here anyways, because I’d hate to spoil it for people who haven’t read it. Read the review after the jump!
