Default Re: [WotLK] Anyone thought of what build you will be in WotLK?

You can get better for Unfair Advantage, which for 2 pts gives you 100% chance to strike with your MH whenever you dodge (and if you have a dodge rating of 25% average it means you basically get an extra hit 25% of the time your opponent tries to hit you.

I would def spec Sword Spec if I was raiding where I was hitting on the same target for a long time because it's worth it for the sustained DPS. But it's too sporadic to be a reliable burst. Not worth the 5 points IMHO. Particularly now that everyone's dps has been buffed by these new talents, fights last much shorter, resilience or no resilience, because everyone hits harder.
Did you test it for level 80 or for level 70? Currently all the talents are for level 80 and that's why everything is imbalance at the moment.

Come wotlk everything will change when at level 80. Meanwhile my judgement for a weapon specialization is still the same.
