Hot Fix….Live?
Hey guys, just a quick post to make a quick post on what was going on last night.
The guild went into Sunwell again and cleared the first 2 bosses and due to lack of healers stopped.
One thing I noticed was that I was running out of mana, but I seem to have worked out a few things so I can keep it topped up when i need to.
So on Brutalus, who we took down on our 3rd/4th try i was tinkering around with stuff as i’d seen i was having to drink again between trash pulls.
So what i’m doing is this: going full out – CS, DS, SoComm, Wings, Judgement of Light, even Consecrating when it was up. Till i got to aout 50% mana the i just stopped consecrating and instead of judging light i judged wisdom.
This returned my mana to about 90/100% so then I popped judgement of light instead and started consecrating again.
Now I’m not 100% sure that the nerfs were live, but I definatly was noticing I was running out of mana, and I wasnt getting as much mana back from judgements as I had been.
After the raid I ran over to the Test Dummies in Ironforge and started plugging away.
Solo i was getting 1450 DPS or there abouts without wings then up to 1650/1700 or so with wings up.
I’m gonna try tonight again and see what the crack is!
Watch this space…

As I posted on Zebra’s blog, I’m with you there. My mage biscuits were actually being used every couple pulls in ZA last night
. It doesn’t look too harsh and I think we definitely need to tweak our rotations a bit. I too was doing roughly the same rotation as you, CS, DS, Judge SoC, Consecrate, etc. until i ran low on mana, then judged wisdom until i got back up to about 80-90% mana again.

The Seal of Command -20% and Judgements of the wise -17% hotfixes are indeed live – for raiding I wouldn’t even bother judging Light, you have healers for that, but there are very few class mechanics that return mana not just to you but to the entire raid, its a great way to keep your own mana up and bring some much-loved utility to the raid.

i have to agree here with you, even on things as trivial as running my GF’s toon through UB and SP today were making me judge Wisdom.. my mana was running out very quick.

On another note, I can no longer effectively solo Strat in Ret spec at this point. The mana efficiency just isn’t there. Prot, however, seems to be working better then ever….
