Highlights from the first discussion on March 27, 2008:

• Cap for stats (wis, int, etc.) is 1220 for level 80s (15*level+20)
• The break even point on the diminishing returns curve is about 800
• You can open persona window while fighting to see in-combat health and power regen
• Mitigation break even point for plate tanks is about 5500
• To maximize a wizard's DPS, the wizard should not pull aggro from the tank and be dead during the battle
• /weapon shows your weapon's stats with your current buffs
• 1 point of damage, taunt, or heal is equivalent to 1 point of hate (with the standard hate mod of 0)

Highlights from the second discussion on April 3, 2008:

• Generally in raids, everyone should use /assist (MA Name) to target the mob.
• When targeting a mob directly, benefical spells get cast on the person the mob has targeted
• Another benefit of targeting the mob directly is so you will know if you have aggro - i.e. the implied target window is empty (instead of the MT)
• ProfitUI has user-configurable buttons beneath each group member to cast any spell on that person without changing your target
• When selecting armor, do not neglect the procs or +abilities on certain items, the added effects might be better than higher primary stats
