It's amazing :-) When I first hit Timeless isle, in less gear than I
have now, it made the difference from killing elites being a bit of a
struggle, to being ridiculously easy. Now they're no struggle, but
it's tons faster with that buff, easily the best of them for me :-)

Wow, some nice numbers there! I only see overall fight figures and I
know mine won't be high, since my best-geared character is a healer
(that said, Disc does plenty adequate dps for my needs, and I can
usually outdps a few low-geared dpsers when I put my mind to it :-)),
and two of my three dps characters are melee (I struggle with melee
dps, fun as it is to play solo, I hate having to get a compromise
between not standing in bad and actually being able to keep hitting
the boss...), and all three are in Timeless Isle gear only. Still find
my mind boggles at how much it's inflated over the course of the
expansion though... no matter how you look at the figures, high-geared
people are doing minimum 10x if not 20x as much dps as newly-dinged at
90. Insane!

Heh, sounds pretty cool indeed, Skada hasn't got that option (think it
counts dps different too, since when I was thinkint 25-30k was normal
at the start of MoP, people using Recount considered 40-45k as
"normal", can't imagine every single group I ever joined was full of
crap people, so i guess it counts a bit lower!), I may try Recount
again sometime, found it was a bit of a memory hog in the past though.
Supposedly my pc should have no trouble with WoW, given I've replaced
everything in the last year or two, but I do still struggle in big
fights with tons of aoe - not badly, but enough that I can notice it,
so I try not to make things worse! (my eyes seem sensitive to lower
fps, most people wouldn't notice a drop to 40 fps, I guess, but to me
it feels horrible and jittery, need it at 60+!)
