Guardian HotW

Postby Alpheus » Thu Jan 24, 2013 4:28 am

I've recently been experimenting a bit more with HotW as Guardian (HC Gara'jal, Elegon, Blade Lord) and was wondering if the dps could be improved by mixing up Bearcatting (rip, rake, thrash) and Wrath-spam single-target. I have sha-touched normal weapons for both specs with a sha-touched agi gem in both - what I'm trying to figure out is:
a) is Wrath higher dps on average than cat form during hotw?
b) if not, are there exceptions to this rule?
c) if yes, can this be further improved by bleeding up first then switching to wrath spam

Does anyone have any experience with this they'd like to share?

hi, recently i have been using Hotw on my bear for heroic progression and actually all fights because the %based stat increases is only getting bigger as we get more gear, and realistically we need some stam if were gemming mostly 320 crit yellows :)
1) hotw on the pull of most fights as cat form and berserk and potion and you can get a pretty big rip tick going.
2) only use hotw for dps increase if you know you wont need to super power tranquility later on.
3) this is based off my heroic progression into Throne of thunder.
