Mithan's Website:

This website is just a personal website for myself (Mithan). It has a collection of links for useful information for myself, some of which may be useful for other people. Feel free to explore it if you want. To contact me, you can email me at mithan@gmail.com

Keepers Of The Vault is not really active anymore, but I am still the Guild Master of the Guild. Mith is in Forbidden Order, which is where some of the old KotV people are located now (Jassman, Cracknor, Hombre, Joe, Lexi, etc). My brother Ravor has characters in both guilds still. The vent channel on the left is still used by many people.

Ravor and I are currently playing Rift on the Guardian faction on the Dayblind Server.

If you wish to join us, fire a /tell to either Ravor, Rav or myself (Mithan, Mith). Currently, Argantes and Hubrex are also playing in the same guild and we are having fun.

These Secondary CC Abilities can control a mob for some time, but either break easily, need frequent reapplication or have other restrictions which make their continued use impractical, and therefore cannot be generally used to take a mob out of combat indefinitely:

* Death Knight - Chains of Ice
* Druid - Cyclone, Soothe Animal, and some stuns
* Hunter - Pet's stun and various root/slow/stun shots
* Mage - Frost Nova and other frost spells
* Paladin - Turn Evil (undead and demons only), some stuns

Reforging

Reforging takes 40% of a secondary stat* already on an item and converts it into a secondary stat not already on an item. This lets you optimize your gear to a level like never before, and diminishes the gap between the best items and their lesser counterparts.

Follow this thought process when reforging as an Unholy DK:

Are you hit capped?
  • If yes, then reforge any excess hit into haste, if it’s not already on the piece as well, and to crit if haste is.
  • If no, then reforge any expertise, mastery, and then crit – in that order – until you reach the hit cap.
Does the piece already have haste?
  • If yes, then go to the next question.
  • If no, then reforge any excess hit, expertise, mastery, and then crit – in that order – into as much haste as possible.
Does the piece already have crit?
  • If yes, and it also has haste/hit (as it should following the previous two questions, then there’s no need to touch it.
  • If no, and it already has haste/hit (as it should following the previous two questions) and another stat, then reforge the extra stat into crit.
*Secondary stats mean ratings (and Spirit, not that we care about that).

 

Blood/Tanking:
Parry and dodge have the same rating and diminish at the same pace. They're equal now.
Reforge for Mastery, unless you need to reforge for hit/expertise (threat).
