I know...it's so annoying! But the majority of DPS in our raid is ranged (hunters, warlocks, mages etc) so we're kind of outnumbered.

It doesn't matter what the majority of the raid is consist of, IIRC at the moment shaman's totems will bring benefit to those that are currently in his group. People from other group will not gain any benefit from his totem.

So yes, you and the other rogues in your group have a good case to present to your raid leader.

Well, I got my Trousers of the Scryers Retainer and now have zero badges again lol. Vulajin's spreadsheet is saying that even though the Trousers are a considerably better item than the T4 breeches I have now, that the DPS improvement is very marginal (I think because I lose the 3sec SnD bonus from the 2-piece T4 set. Does this make sense??

I won't lose the T4 bonus if I were you until I get 4 T5 set items or 2 T6 set items. But if spreadsheet tells you it's ok and it's a dps upgrade. Then go for it.

Afterall, spreedsheet can't be wrong right?

Just to update, I'm now doing about 1.8K - 2K dps on boss fights, mainly due to the following I think:

- Blade of Infamy (Hyjal drop off Anetheron)
(I also got Claw of Molten Fury MH the other day but got outrolled by a PUG for the OH that dropped last night otherwise I may have switched to fists)
- Dragonspine Trophy (from Gruul)
- raid wide shaman totems including Windfury
- Swiftstrike Bracers (recipe drop from Hyjal)

Going into BT again tonight, hope to get good drops!

Just to update, I got my T6 belt and the offhand from Brutallus. I have picked up 6 pieces of T6 gear, and my gear should carry me well into leveling in WotLK. Because the 4-piece T6 bonus is so nice, I'll jockey gear around and keep the bonus for quite some time.

Just one-shotted Gorefiend but took 3 wipes before we figured out RoS. Going for Mother Shahraz tonight.

Oh, and our guild two-shotted Vashj on Sat night but I missed it!!

Grats Mem!

We didn't do any more raids this 2 weeks as the raid leader wanted to rest until wotlk arrives. So no update from me.

I've not raided in the last 3 weeks.

We've been clearing SWP in 2 and a half hours on a wednesday, but I didn't really fancy going. A break before Wotlk is good enough for me, I have 8/8 T6 to show off when I'm 80, Kiljaeden loot etc so im good.

Been farming achievement points, up to 3225 atm, which is canny high as far as I can tell.
