I stayed up late last night working on upgrading Mont's poop and adjusting my spec and making flasks, and now I'm sick and probably gonna go home early anyway
Whoops
Once I get one one more day of random heroic and if I ever get Slashing Thorns I'll have the best gear possible without straight up grinding the VP for tier 11 or paying tens of thousands of gold for boe epics

shits about to get real boring
I'm about to this point on my shaman, do one heroic for my daily VP, and then log out cause theres no way to improve that toon outside of my weekly raids.
Should work on my warrior more cause my Tuesdays are free now, maybe raid with you folks sometime.
1 day away from exaulted with TB... well I guess I could log in right now and get it, but I need sleep.
ilvl 356 with comparable gear for both healing and tanking now, so if people don't mind me wiping the B team with my awful tanking, I'm willing to give it a shot.
They weren't kidding when they said that the trade supplies wouldn't be very cost effective.

I like that I now have something to spend honor points on.
After I bought the black kodo I've got nothing to waste points on when I hit the cap again.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Also, last night was super fun and I hope I'm invited back sometime in the future! Dpsing isn't as fun as healing, but it seems unlikely I'd ever end up healing for team A with Cless, Mont and Eits on the roster. They're too good! (except for Cless who totally agged nefarian twice and nevermind about who did it that last time while trying to show off)
Chimaeron was the only one of the two I was a little glad I wasn't healing. Shit looked insane and it's 90% a healing dependent fight. I think the tanks have to switch off a few times (?) and the dps need to gather for the meteor-like thing but otherwise they don't do anything special.

How was my dps anyway? Seemed to be staying at 10k pretty constantly by my meters, which isn't great but isn't bad either. Spriest dps can be really random depending on how long you go without a shadow orb. I'm really not fond of the mechanic.
It's not even the mastery that's annoying, though that's a solid waste of mastery points. Just shadow orbs and the buff they give when you cast mind blast with one up. If you go for a minute without getting one (which I have) your dps is pretty severely impacted. 24% damage increase on the majority of your abilities is a huge thing to go without for any length of time.
The mastery influences how much damage you do with mind blast when you have x amount of shadow orbs. It has absolutely nothing to do with how often you get shadow orbs. That's why it is useless, because the damage you cause with mind blast is largely irrelevant versus keeping that buff up.

If you go a minute without an orb your crit is too low. If you're getting 24% to your dot damage your mastery is too high.

Or maybe it isn't? The tooltip says it increases the damage done by shadow orbs but does that mean both for Mind Blast and the buff?
Actually, looking at EJ it is both. Interesting, I didn't know that. Well, regardless, it is still a somewhat weak stat that I can't entirely avoid because my gear is largely healing gear and I need lots of mastery for disc.

Yeah early on people thought (and maybe it really was?) just boosting mind blast damage and thought to avoid it as entirely as possible, but that was also before anyone really seemed to have a grasp on how to play a spriest currently.
I don't don't enjoy it very much as it is, kitty dps is less obnoxious to me
Wow, both of you having misconceptions, interesting.
Pop quiz: How worthwhile is mastery rating after 4.0.6., assuming all changes on PTR go live?
Edit with regards to Ranlin's post: Originally spriest mastery was only the orb mechanic. Blizzard added ES to it when they realized only boosting a spell that's like 10% of our damage is a terrible idea.
I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

Don't be ashamed of being terrible. You're only one person and that's you! Self esteem is a good thing.

Leather dps stuff just doesn't exist in our raids. We get 3x Caster Cloth though.

At least maybe it'll be more cost effective than buying old gems and vendoring them.
I was trying to do a sweet levitate off the elevator, just like the previous two times which resulted in my death.
In my defense though, the first time I tried it it totally worked though and was completely sweet.

I mean, he's still green.
That being said, shadow orbs are a terrible mastery and whoever thought it up at Blizzard should be fired.
