A triple post!

I would just be doing the end of my previous post (aka adding macro's etc...) and a comparison between Loatheb's Shadow and Bandit's Isigna, but with the release of the PTR notes I went into a nerdrage and wanted to post on the new talents and glyphs aswell.

But first:

The End of the Previous Post on Survival talents:

Concerning Macro's

I'm using only 2 Macro's during raids.

SS Spam macro:
Create a macro that combines Steady Shot, Kill Shot and Kill Command. My macro uses Kill Shot first (if ready), then tries to cast SS and then casts Kill Command.

Disenage & Wingclip:
/cast Wingclip
/cast Disenage

Okay now for the second post:

Loatheb's Shadow VS Bandit's Insigna

Loatheb's Shadow
Pros: On demand nuke powah!
Con's: You gotta click it yourself, and most people on use it during bosses

Bandit's Isigna
Pros: Pretty OP stat, and you don't need to click shit.
Con's: No on demand pwnage.

My verdict:

I chose Bandit's over Loatheb's because, as stated before, because I never use it on trash. So the stat is alot better for me Le Slackeur. When I want to nuke I use Rapid Fire. I lost some crit, as my Amory Profile painfully states, but I'm gaining more again.

DPS try-outs favor Loa over Bandit, but then you're required to use it once it is ready.
