Stephanie Cole, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Roger Allam star in the first series of the hit sitcom about the tiny charter airline for whom no job is too small, but many, many jobs are too difficult. By John Finnemore ('The News Quiz', 'That Mitchell & Webb Sound') Run by the forbidding divorcée Carolyn Knapp-Shappey (an unfortunate marriage, namewise, but in Carolyn's opinion, marginally better than Carolyn Shappey-Knapp), her two pilots are the smooth, experienced and almost-certainly-fired-by-a-big-airline-for-all-round naughtiness Douglas, and struggling almost-competent pilot and sweaty man Martin. All-round help is provided by Carolyn's near-idiot son, Arthur...In the first of the complete six episodes - ""Qikiqtarjuaq"" - when MJN Air flies a party of tourists near the North Pole, Arthur goes hunting for polar bears, Carolyn for a rogue lemon and Martin for a believable French accent...
Then we travel to episode 2 - ""Paris"", and when a bottle of highly-expensive whisky goes missing, Martin becomes the Miss Marple of MJN Air with Arthur assisting as his trusty Doctor Watson and Douglas hindering as his untrusty prime suspect. On to part 3, ""Newcastle"", where love is in the air, but also unfortunately in a small airport in Birmingham - and Martin has to choose between career, romance and fixing a very small tail-light. Part 4 finds us on the way to ""Ottery St Mary"". Martin is a Man With A Van, Douglas flies A Plane With An Otter and Carolyn dates A Pilot With A Problem With Sheep. And two mysteries solved - the name of Carolyn's dog and the rules of "Yellow Car".
Arriving at episode 5, ""Rotterdam"", it's Lifejacket, Camera, Action as stardom beckons for one of the crew of MJN Air... but who will get to blow the final whistle? And will they look good in a vest? And in the last episode of the series - ""St. Petersburg"" - some vodka and an unwary bird could spell the end of the line for MJN Air, and when Carolyn meets her ex-husband the atmosphere turns even icier.... With special series guests Timothy West, Anthony Head ('Buffy') and Mark Williams ('The Fast Show').

"Endless laughs"
Martin and Douglas are a perfect couple. I can't stop laughing at Douglas's antics and poor Martin's desperate attempts to make everything better.
"One of my favorite series"
Wonderfully written and fabulously performed. Cabin Pressure is hilarious, touching, and always great. S3 is just as strong as the previous series, and "St. Petersburg" was a fantastic series end.
"MJN keeps flying, I keep laughing"
Fabulous as per usual.
"Qikiqtarjuaq"-- what Douglas puts Martin through is excruciating and hilarious
"Paris"-- since I came to Cabin Pressure as a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock, this is my very favorite episode, in which Martin attempts to solve a mystery on board
"Newcastle"-- Benedict Cumberbatch is replaced in this episode and the stand-in doesn't quite have his note of desperation. Wish I could hear the real Martin try to flirt with the female pilot they are ferrying
"Ottery St. Mary"-- Delves into the age-old questions, (1) can one visualize 100 otters and (2) would they fit comfortably in Gertie? This episode is special because finally, finally, for once, Douglas does something nice for Martin
"Rotterdam"-- Really makes the most of the radio format as Martin, Douglas, Herc and another man also named Martin compete to sound the smoothest and most confident for MJN's welcome recording.
"St. Petersburg"-- a tense but great day, in different ways, for Martin, Douglas, Arthur and Carolyn and hence a treat for listeners. I was delighted to hear that a fourth series is planned, but if this had to be the show's finale, it is fitting.
"Still lots of fun"
Just finished the third series, listening to too many episodes at one time. ;)
I usually like to savour them, by just listening to only one each time, but they were so funny I got carried away.
Luckily there is a fourth series available now.
Yes. I listen to this over and over and over again. It is sheer unadulterated joy.
Yellow Car. That is all.
This a six plays with four main characters, Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, played by Stephanie Cole, Douglas Richardson played by Roger Allam (that man has such a marvellous voice), Martin Crieff played by Benedict Cumberbatch and Arthur Shappey played by John Finnemore - who alway writes Cabin Pressure and is - in a word - Brilliant!
It is all fantastic. I have listened to this over and over again. I can practically recite it at this stage. I think my favourite episode of this series is Ottery St. Mary, it introduced "Yellow Car" into my life...
"Worth the credit just for a single episode."
I'd never heard of John Finnemore before listening to this series, but I was intrigued by a comedy starring Benedict Cumberbatch [who was astonishing at the National as both Frankenstein and his monster, although more known this side of the pond for playing a contemporary Sherlock Holmes], Stephanie Cole [Waiting for God, Tenko] and Anthony Stewart Head [Buffy, Little Britain, Free Agents]. To my surprise, they do a beautiful job together!
Dame Cole has always played characters decades older than herself, and here she plays someone closer to her own age, owner of a struggling single-plane airline, and mother to the steward, the endearingly rattle-brained Arthur, played by Finnemore, the genius behind the entire series. Cumberbatch is the pilot [after seven goes at the pilot's exam] who works unpaid just to fly. His suave co-pilot is a demoted captain who knows all the tricks of the trade, but can't bear to tell his wife he's not #1 on the flight deck any more.
Each episode is a new and alphabetic destination, with some word games for the bored cabin crew, trouble and hijinks.
In Series 3, they veer from Paris to Ottery St Mary to Rotterdam, but the episode in St. Petersburg is worth the price of the whole set, with beautiful voice performances, wordplay, zaniess, and poking fun at the flight industry. Looking forward to Series 4!
"Utterly brilliant radio comedy."
Buy this audiobook. Buy it now. Buy it fast. You'll laugh until you're sore in the stomach listening to the adventures of MJN air, Britain's least competent but most endearing airline. This is British radio humour at its very best, and it has Benedict Cumberbatch in the cast (as Captain Martin Crieff)! The entire series is excellent - there's not a dud episode among them. I cannot wait for more episodes so come, and have listened to these ones many times and they just keep staying funny. This is a future classic, destined for the comedy hall of fame.
"Getting Formulaic"
Yes, but not soon; not as crisp, but that's what happens.
Still a great ensemble who make it shine.
Arthur is too I Love Lucy stoopid and unbelievable seeing as it is John Finnemore who plays him. His role in Elvenquest is far more rounded, even as the Dog/Chosen One.
"Love Love Love Cabin Pressure!"
I could only compare this series to other comedies - and this series is definitely the funniest (yet clean!) series I've listened to. John Finnemore's wit, writing and timing are fantastic! Benedict Cumberbatch and the other actors are amazing and work well together.
The character of "Douglas" when they find the polar bears!
There is no one person who narrates. All of the actors are clear, funny and obviously enjoy what they are doing!
Try the other seasons of Cabin Pressure - 1 through 3 plus 1 Christmas series. Supposedly John Finnemore will be creating one more season in 2013?
Oh Ya!!!! And I have!
hmmm- Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy- it has that very British sarcastic humor about it
Arthur, very well done character, counterpoints the other's, and great for a laugh...at him not with him.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
"First Review of Cabin Pressure (Series 3)..! Funny"
Well, the series has only been here on audible less than a day... I have found it, downloaded it... Listened to it (IN FULL) and managed to laugh most of the two and a half hours.
If you want something really funny this christmas to cheer you up you cant go wrong with this third season. Its well written, the recording is excellent and I have not laughed so much in ages.
That impressed with the series I have been trying to get tickets to go to the recording of one of the seasons via the BBC website, but the tickets are always taken!
One word of warning however... If you happen to have this on your iDevice and are listening to it in public, be careful - you WILL get strange looks when you cant stop laughing or giggling for no apparent reason!
"The best thing on radio"
Superb writing combines with brilliant execution to bring joyous listening. John Finnemore is a genius, and I hope he's busy writing Series 4!
"light hearted amusement"
Very amusing, very enjoyable to listen to. All the characters are well played and have their own fun enjoyable quirks
"Never Disappoints"
I am a real fan of John Finniemore's writing. Crisp sharp dialogue with a cast that can't be beaten. How he can write Douglas' barbs and yet still play the goofy other worldly Arthur is a mystery. Long may it last. I look forward to each new series with great anticipation.
"a great listen"
slick, clever comedy, well acted with a hint of tragedy. I can listen to this again and again
"Made me laugh out loud"
Another great series - embarrassingly, the emergency procedures made me laugh out loud whilst listening with headphones - I got very strange looks as I continued to snigger and wipe my eyes. Highly recommended
"Absolutely brilliant"
I've listened to all 3 series and just like Arthur says about everything they're all brilliant but I think the third series is the best. I cried with laughter all the way through. May John Finnemore write many more.
"Starts So-So but Ends Perfectly"
This 3rd season starts a bit off (in my opinion) as the writers try to have some episodes in settings unrelated to the air (Caroline's pub date). Although the air world is not omnipresent in Cabin Pressure, it does give all episodes a cohesion that was lost in the opening episodes of season 3 (of course, even an "off" episode from Cabin Pressure is better than most anything else available).
But it seems the writers got this feedback soon as the 3rd season quickly goes back to the air/airplnae world and finishes with one of the best episodes of all 3 seasons.
"Absolute pleasure"
I love this series and having only came across it just before Christmas; I have bought all 3 series and it is a listen over and over again.
"Even funnier than the last 2"
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to these they still make me laugh out loud. Great writing by John Finnemore and great performances all round. Can't wait for the next series.

text: 5 Best 3DS TitleAmalia | 28/01/2012 | See all Amalia's reviews (6)I was fortunate enough to preorder this game and got a copy at launch. So far it's been absolutely brilliant. There hasn't been too many JRPGs around recently so this definately is a breath of fresh air and really adds to the 3DS line up! It's just a shame it's so hard to get ahold of.The 3D effects are not brilliant but the game has been ported and remastered from the PS2 version so do not expect effects to be as good as in Zelda or other Nintendo 1st party titles. If you do pick up this game however, I am sure it will be for the great storyline and gameplay as opposed to the 3D effects!A nice touch is that the game is voice acted during cutscenes/story related parts. I know this is probably from the PS2 version but it's quite unusual for Nintendo handheld games to have voice acting so this was a big plus.One other thing to note when getting this game is that it has so much story. Even when you are roaming through a dungeon/explorable areas you are often interrupted by long conversations. When in the field you get classic Tales series character conversations. These are skipable but they add a lot to character background. Personally I love this level of immersion but someone who just wants to get on and play the game may find this frustrating.This is by far the best 3DS title around right now. It has all the magic of the Tales series and is a top quality JRPG. If you love Final Fantasy and Star Ocean then you'll love this game!

How to prolong the life of your roses
WTOP Garden Editor Mike McGrath
Save the date: Mike will appear March 15 - 17 at the Fredericksburg Home and Garden Show at the Fredericksburg Expo Center.
Mike McGrath, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Bones in Mount Vernon writes, "I have about 50 roses, all hybrid teas. I recently read your advice not to use wood mulch under them and to mulch with compost instead. Since I don't have any of my own backyard compost, can I use Compro instead?"
Although I'm a big proponent of recycling, I do not advise anyone to use Compro for anything, under any circumstances. Although not revealed on its official website, Compro is sewage sludge from local waste water treatment plants. And all sludge contains toxins that were illegally sent into the sewer system by criminals and lazy home oil-changers.
But perhaps even more disturbing are the high levels of human medications that make it through the water treatment process -- especially artificial hormones and antibiotic and antidepressant residues. For these and other reasons, the use of sludge is forbidden in certified organic agriculture.
Ah, but a different compost product from the same basic source, for example the State of Maryland, called LeafGro is fine. Leafgro is compost made from shredded fall leaves and other yard and garden waste, and makes a great mulch for roses.
Your choice of mulch can keep roses disease-free
In our last thrilling episode, I told Bones in Mount Vernon that he should not replace the wood mulch he is currently using under his roses with Compro.
But replace that wood mulch he should, as wood, bark and root mulches breed the diseases that roses are prone to, especially wood mulches that have been left in place from the previous season; they're an incubator for disease spores.
If all you do is remove last year's mulch from under your roses, you'll greatly reduce disease problems. And if you replace that much with fresh yard waste compost, like LeafGro, you'll prevent new disease spores from breeding.
Don't feed your roses high explosives
Bones in Mount Vernon just emailed to say that he will be switching from his old wood mulch to a yard waste compost like LeafGro this spring. But he's concerned about his roes getting enough to eat.
"Do you think that LeafGro alone provides enough fertility during the blooming season? I've been using Osmocote Controlled Release Fertilizer and Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed," he writes.
Bones, once you stop using those highly concentrated chemical salts, whose other worldly use is to be packed into shells and fired at the enemy, you are going to love how your roses look this season.
Roses are not heavy feeders, no plant needs chemical fertilizers, and those artificial foods actually weaken the plants and make them much more attractive to pests like aphids and Japanese beetles and diseases like black spot.
Start the season with a fresh inch of compost under the plants and add a fresh inch in June or July. Your roses will be perfectly fed and uncommonly healthy.
Cane borers are a sure sign of overfed and wood-mulched roses
Now Bones emails with yet another issue: "The big problem I've had for the past few years is cane borers. I've been using enamel nail polish and Elmer's wood glue to seal up their holes, but I still get borers wherever I prune or cut buds during the growing season," he writes.
Sealing those holes won't help, Bones. In fact, it could further weaken your plants. Let's get your roses off drugs and bad mulches and I suspect the borers will disappear; happy, healthy roses are not their choice of prey.
So don't use wood mulch anywhere near the roses, don't feed them chemical fertilizers, don't spray them with anything without asking me first, and don't prune them after June except to deadhead old flowers or harvest new ones. Reserve pruning for the first few months of spring. Never prune in late summer or fall.
The five step path to award-winning roses
A few simple chores you perform early in the spring will practically insure that you have healthy, disease-free roses all season.
- Prune your roses about two weeks after they begin growing again in the spring
to remove any dead, damaged or diseased canes and to open up the center of the
plants to insure good internal airflow.
- Remove all those prunings and all the old mulch under your roses and throw it
in the trash. Do not compost or reuse this infected red-bag material.
- Spread a yard waste compost like LeafGro an inch deep all around the base of
each plant. Do not use wood, bark or root mulches under roses. And do not use
Compro or other 'composts' that are actually sewage sludge.
- Harvest flowers freely early in the season. The more blooms you cut for indoor
display, the more flowers the plants will pump out.
- Add a fresh inch of compost under your roses sometime in June or July. And then don't prune for the rest of the season except to cut flowers or remove spent ones.

Hypertension is often diagnosed during a routine visit to your doctor. Blood pressure is measured using a cuff around your arm and a device called a sphygmomanometer. Your doctor may ask you to sit quietly for five minutes before checking your blood pressure.
If your blood pressure reading is high, a second measurement will be done a few minutes later. If your blood pressure is still high, you will probably be asked to come back for repeat blood pressure checks. High blood pressure diagnosis will be made when you have readings over 140/90 mm Hg during three separate visits.
Some people's blood pressure goes up when they are at the doctor's office. Your doctor may advise you to get some blood pressure readings at home. In some cases, you may be asked to wear an ambulatory blood pressure monitor. This device measures your blood pressure regularly throughout the day as you go about your activities. It is usually worn for 24 hours, even while sleeping.

Some examples of medical emergencies include:
If it is not a life threatening of serious emergency you should consider other
options before dialling 999.
These could include:
When you call 999 an operator will ask which emergency service you need. If it's
a medical emergency, ask for the ambulance service and you will be put through
to one of our call takers.
You will be asked to provide the following information:
As soon as we know where you are, help will be on its way to you.
You will also be asked to give some additional information such as:
Answering these questions does not delay the response, but helps us to give you
important first aid advice while the ambulance is on its way.
The extra information also helps to make sure that we send the most appropriate
help to you.
Before the ambulance arrives, you can help us by doing the following:
There are things that you can do today to help us in the future:
As soon as we have enough information and we believe you need immediate medical
treatment, we will send help.
There are a number of ways in which we respond, depending on the circumstances:
Frontline emergency ambulances with a crew of two, one of which will be a
paramedic, respond to the majority of emergency calls. Ambulance Technicians and
Paramedics are trained to deal with life threatening illnesses and injuries. We
carry a full range of medical equipment on our ambulances, including
electrocardiogram (ECG) machines to monitor a patient's heart and defibrillators
which can restart the heart if a patient goes into cardiac arrest.
Paramedic Response Units are normally crewed by a paramedic working on their own.
They will go to patients by car or motorcycle and carry all of the life saving
equipment needed in a medical emergency. In life threatening situations, they
can provide a vital, fast response and they will be backed up by an emergency
ambulance that can take you to hospital.
Specialised Paramedics, Technicians and Logistics Staff trained to gain access and
administer care for patients in hazardous or difficult environments and at the scene
of major incidents. SORT also deploy to provide paramedical support for other agencies
involved in potentially hazardous environments.
These are paramedics who have undertaken extra clinical training. They are able
to thoroughly investigate a patient's condition and situation and then make a
qualified decision about the best way to progress their treatment. They often
work with minor injuries units and out of hours doctor services and can refer
patients to the most appropriate care if a visit to hospital is not required.
We operate two emergency helicopters and two fixed wing planes. They are often
asked to assist at incidents where there may problems with inaccessible terrain
or where a very fast evacuation to hospital is preferable to a journey by road
These are members of the community who have been trained to provide first aid and
other medical skills while the ambulance is on its way to you. They are able to
deliver treatments that are time critical, such as using a shock box in cardiac
BASICS Responders are Doctor's, Nurses and Paramedics who have received additional
Pre-Hospital Emergency Training through BASICS Scotland. Each of the Responders are
provided with a Sandpiper Medical/Trauma Response bag and access to a Defibrillator.
Many Responders have also been issued with an Ambulance Service Airwave Radio and a
Vehicle Locater System to allow contact and best resourcing via their Emergency
Medical Dispatch Centre.
If the incident is not life threatening, you may be passed by telephone to one of
our Paramedic Clinical Advisors, or to NHS 24, who will give you assistance or
point you in the right direction for help.
Whatever your reason for calling us, the Emergency Medical Call Taker who answers
your call will ensure that you receive the most appropriate response and liaise
with other services and professionals where necessary.

Personal Shopper | If You Have to Ask, Try the Shower
For the few who can afford it, bathtubs are being made to measure from materials like polished stainless steel, Hermès leather and carved wood.
By MARIANNE ROHRLICH
Kitchen, Bath and Beyond
This season's trends in appliances, fixtures and design.
Plenty of Room
The National Association of Home Builders reports a rise in the number of powder rooms and closets being converted to tiny bathrooms. We look at several stylish examples.
Personal Shopper
A new shower curtain is one of those accessories that can wake up a tired bathroom quickly. There are styles to suit every décor.
Personal Shopper
Is the minimalist all-white bathroom over? The newest ceramic tiles have animal hide and contemporary floral patterns.
Bath Time
The best tubs, sinks and toilets.

Taylor Lautner: About that twist ending in 'Breaking Dawn - Part 2'
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS (CNN) — Considering that Taylor Lautner was just 15 when he auditioned for the first "Twilight" film, the rapidly approaching end of the franchise must feel a little bit like a high school graduation.
And while we think we know how it's all going to end, thanks to how faithful the previous four films have been to Stephenie Meyers' book series, a now 20-year-old Lautner told Jay Leno Wednesday night that fans should expect to be surprised.
In the second half of the "Breaking Dawn" conclusion to the "Twilight" series, the story resumes with Kristen Stewart's Bella as a vampire, a wife and a mother, Lautner said.
He's also just "imprinted - it's very confusing, it's a wolf thing - on their daughter," Lautner explains to a giggling Leno. "So it starts off with a bang."
But as far as its final scenes, Lautner was less helpful. "There's a very thin line, because the fans would freak on us if we changed anything too much, but I can confirm there is a twist, and I can confirm that everybody can find out what it is on November 16," he said, teasing the movie's release date.

Alex Beall, special to WTOP.com
WASHINGTON - Nepali by TDM scarves adorn the necks of celebrities such as Gwen Stefani, Anne Hathaway and the Kardashian sisters.
Nepali by TDM is a women's accessory company in Potomac, Md., which specializes in scarves, sterling silver jewelry and merino wool tops made by Nepalese women who use the proceeds to pay for health care and education.
Michelle Baldwin founded Nepali by TDM in 2006 to help impoverished Nepalese women after seeing their optimistic attitudes despite their living conditions.
"There is an amazing feeling of warmth that emanates from these women," she says. "It's genuine happiness and smiles. It's very tough. They have four hours of electricity a day, and yet they don't walk around complaining and they are still able to create these beautiful, beautiful artistic things throughout such hard challenges."
The scarves, ranging in price from $60 to $195, are made out of natural fibers such as cashmere, bamboo, silk and organic cotton and are sold to more than 900 stores in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom.
Baldwin, who is in her 40s and lives in Potomac, designs the scarves the Napalese women create by hand, which includes the process of spinning, looming, dying and printing. Baldwin says the scarves represent the colors of Nepal.
"When you go into the markets, the herbs and the spices, they pull them from flowers, and grind them and it's beautiful, bright colors," she says.
The 120 Nepalese women who work with Baldwin also design some scarves, which Baldwin sometimes incorporates in the collection.
"Every once in a while in a shipment that comes to me -- I always consider it a little surprise -- there will be a couple of scarves that they designed," she says.
Baldwin came up with the idea for the accessory company in 2005 when she visited Nepal while consulting for a business that imported custom rugs from the South Asian country. She named her new venture "Tissage du Monde," or Weaving of the World, which she later shortened to TDM.
"I was in Nepal ... talking to one of the rug vendors, and they handed me a cashmere blanket that was the most amazing thing I had ever felt in my life, and I just sat there and thought, 'How can I bring this back to the States? How can people really experience this?'" she says.
She asked the vendor's sister, Tulsa, who is now a coordinator for Nepali by TDM, to make several scarves from the same material, which Baldwin then took back to the U.S.
"I realized I had hit on something, and I was able to not just help the women of Nepal but also bring a beautiful, fashion-forward product to women here in the United States," she says.
Two Nepalese women, Tulsa and Sushi, coordinate the production in Nepal by distributing orders, shipping the finished scarves and finding more women to work. Often, they hire women who performed manual labor on construction sites.
The company provides employment, higher than average wages and a safe working environment for the women. The average wage in Nepal is about $58 a month, according to Baldwin, but the women working for Nepali by TDM earn between $85 and $200 a month depending on their skillset.
Nepali by TDM also offers the women and their families monthly medical care and school scholarships that covers the cost of uniforms, lunches, tuition and pencils and paper.
"We pay for everything so that the family doesn't have to worry about a penny of the children's expenses," Baldwin says.
Baldwin advises the mothers to send their children to private schools that provide a strong English education.
"We feel (it) is so important to be able to elevate them out of poverty and into a position where they can earn a good wage in Nepal," she says.
She adds that the Nepalese women motivate her to continue growing the company.
"It's really their will, their desire, their clear love of life and of people that just made me want to give to them what I could give to them," she says. "Throughout the last seven years, they have just given so much to me as far as truly what values are in life and how to create beauty when it's so challenging."
Baldwin says she wants to double the number of women working for Nepali by TDM.
"There's not a specific number because when I hit that number I'm going to want to help more people," she says.

Review: 2009 Dodge Charger SXT 3.5
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Jan 26th, 2009 at 11:59AM
It's been almost a year since a Dodge Charger passed through the Autoblog Garage, and this go-around was very different from the last. Comparedto our last Charger, this one is positively subtle. Last time around, we sampled one of Dodge's police car demonstrators decked out in full law enforcement regalia including a roof-top light bar and traditional black-and-white paint job. Driving the cop Charger was a mix of euphoria and paranoia. This time, Chrysler sent over a civilian SXT model powered by the company's 3.5-liter V6.While the name hearkens back to coupes of the '60s and '70s (we'll... Read More

Given how often we Devastate our targets, this would translate into less than a 50 TPS increase? Apologies if I'm way off on this estimation. (And no, I'm not saying that would be trivial.)
Now, I really haven't seen this anywhere else. Satrina's threat values post goes over Glyph of Sunder Armor (DevDam + 5%AP on main target, 345 + 5%AP on secondary target) but doesn't touch Glyph of Devastate. Everywhere I have looked I've seen people say either 1) It gives bonus threat for the first 2 casts of devastate on a mob or 2) It doesn't give any bonus threat, it just lets you get your sunder stacks up faster.
So I tested it out today. I downloaded Satrina's threat data Addon and double-checked the values for Devastate Threat (Damage + 5% AP) in order to confirm that was correct and also to familiarize myself with the data reporting of the addon.
Here is a snippet of my non-glyphed devastate data:
Threat: target - 862783
Threat: 0x... Sunder Armor - nil
Threat: 0x... Devastate - 558
Threat: target - 1003988
So that's 141205 threat, normalized to 681 threat. Minus 558 Devastate damage is 123. My Attack Power during this test is 2477 (*5% = 123.85). I repeatedly cast devastate on the target up to 11 or 12 times before it died and all of the devastate data looked the same as the above: 123 bonus threat.
So then I put on the Glyph of Devastate.
Here is a snippet of my glyphed data:
Threat: target - 2222168
Threat: 0x... Sunder Armor - nil
Threat: 0x... Sunder Armor - nil
Threat: 0x... Devastate - 650
Threat: target - 2407953
So that's 185785 threat, normalized to 896 threat. Minus 650 Devastate damage is 246. That's 10% of my Attack Power, twice the 123 I was seeing un-glyphed.
Note that I spammed devastate on this mob (a wolf under Dalaran) and connected with devastate 10 or 11 times before it died. EVERY cast of devastate looked like the above, doing 246 bonus threat per devastate, regardless of whether it was the first, second, or tenth devastate I cast.
Someone please feel free to recreate and confirm my testing here. I think this newly discovered data will really impact people's selection of glyphs. It's a nice Full Time threat bonus for devastate. It makes the glyph continually useful in boss fights by adding more threat, and it makes Tab-Target or Mouseover-Target Devastating for trash and heroics even better.
Given how often we Devastate our targets, this would translate into less than a 50 TPS increase? Apologies if I'm way off on this estimation. (And no, I'm not saying that would be trivial.)
Great work!
I've been using glyph of devastate for some time, but never thought it would actually increase threat aswell.
It's probably worth using even with how rare Devastate is compared to what it used to be. The alternative glyph to drop off would be Glyph of Heroic Strike.
I'm seeing about 1.2 - 2.2 RPS (rage per second) average from Glyph of HS. A patchwerk style fight (stand still, infinite rage) was as high as 2.2
So if Glyph of HS is about 1.5 RPS average, and the rage will always be converted to a heroic strike, the glyph provides a gain of about...
HS gets +15% crit chance, and with impale, crits harder (220%)
For me, HS was 949 average hit on a particular fight.
A regular swing was 526.
526 * 2.0735 = 1090 threat / white swing
HS causes 259 bonus threat.
949 avg HS - 526 avg white swing = 423 damage gain default
So the average difference is (423 * 1.22) * 1.15 + 256, or 849
849 * 2.0735 = 1760 threat / HS
1760 - 1090 = 670 threat gain from each HS press
I think. It's very possible my math is way off, especially since this is the first thing I've done with my brain after alcohol and waking up. I'm looking at that figure and it doesn't seem right
So lets say every time I press HS I'm gaining an average of 670 threat over a white swing, if all other abilities remain in their rotation. (Naturally, this is when utilizing HS soley as a rage dump, the purpose of it)
If Glyph of HS is providing an average of 1.5 rage per second, and HS costs 11 rage (15-3 for Focused Rge, -1 for 1 point in imp HS, as Rend is worth using now but that's another topic).
670 / 11 rage = 61 threat per rage.
If Glyph of HS is 1.5 RPS, it's 92 TPS.
Now, if Glyph of Devastate is an extra 5% of AP for each press, and you have 4800 fully raid-buffed AP (which is what I'm around), it's an additional 240 threat * 2.0735 = 500 threat/devastate.
I used 54 Devastates on an "average" fight, not skewed too heavily in any direction in terms of "tankability" (Kel'Thuzad is the example). 54 devastates over a 3'38 fight, or 218 seconds. 218 / 54 = a devastate every 4.03 seconds, or .247 devastates/second.
At .247 dev/seconds that's .247 * 500 = 124 threat/second from Glyph of Devastate
I'll look at another fight, Patchwerk.
29 Devastates used, 143 seconds.
.202 dev / second, .202 * 500 = 100 TPS from Glyph of Devastate
So if it's ~110 TPS average gain from Glyph of Devastate, and ~92 TPS from Glyph of HS. As you use HS more in a fight, Glyph of HS is worth even more.
At 2.2 RPS from Glyph of HS it's 2.2*61 = 134 TPS.
OKAY. I think that's all mostly right. Feel free to make fun of my math skills and let me know if it's wrong.
Conclusion: Glyph of HS and Glyph of Devastate will be about equal, except Glyph of Devastate will be more useful overall due to sunders being stacked more quickly on everything you do. Further, on anything you end up being rage starved on, Glyph of Devastate pulls faaaaaar ahead where Glyph of Heroic Strike will be nearly worthless.

The most useful part of devestate is of course the application of sunder armor. Sunder armor is the most useful debuff in the game from a melee dps perspective I believe. Getting a full stack up is extremely problematic.
A max dps cycle priotizes, Shield Slam, Revenge, Concussion Blow and Shockwave all before devestate, which means it can take 21 seconds before that whole stack is applied, all without considering a sword and board proc.
Opening: Shield Slam
1.5 Sec: Revenge
3.0 Sec: Concusion Blow
4.5 Sec: Shockwave
6.0 Sec: Shield Slam
7.5 Sec: Revenge
9.0 Sec: Devestate
10.5 Sec: Devestate
12.0 Sec: Shield Slam
13.5 Sec: Revenge
15.0 Sec: Devestate
16.5 Sec: Devestate
18.0 Sec: Shield Slam
19.5 Sec: Revenge
21.0 Sec: Devestate
Each application is 785 armor reduced, assuming raid bosses have 13083 armor, each application is worth 6% armor reduction or 92.34 ArP. Each application is worth somewhere around a 2.5% increase in damage for each melee in the fight, though armor pen is a bit more complex than that.
Napkin math: if melee is contributing 50% of your damage, each sunder application is about 1.25% raid dps increase. If you prioritized devestate instead of the concussion blow and shockwave, had glyph of devestate, 3.0 second raid dps is going up 2.5%. 4.5% another 2.5% then at 9 seconds caps out at 6.25%, otherwise it takes 21 seconds. 13 seconds faster getting 6.25% more dps for the raid. 5 minute fight, 4% of the fight is full sundered vs non-sundered, .25% of total damage done coming from getting the sunder stack up fast, patchwerk has 13 mil hps, 32.5k damage done from glyph of devestate. Heroic strike does 495 extra damage, which means you would need to crit over 65 times for the extra rage to be turned into extra heroic strikes to be worth as much as glyph of devestate. Alot of fights last alot less time than 5 minutes, meaning glyph of devestate would be a significantly larger portion of the % damage contributed.
to be fair, you should be applying a devastate before your first concblow/shockwave in your rotation with hopes of a SnB proc, only if it reaches the second devastate should you replace with with a cb/sw because at this point a SnB proc is no longer threat effective, just rage effective.
I've been following this with interest and it just occurred to me that if the Glyph is applying the 5% AP from the second devastate, then perhaps it's also applying the extra chance to proc S&B. Has anyone noticed a higher S&B proc rate with glyphed devastate?
I'll try to test this out tonight.
One other point - when doing the math on glyphed HS, I don't think you want to factor in infinite rage situations like Patchwerk. It's effectively useless there since you don't need any more rage. So including the top end range of rage generation from a fight like that makes glyphed HS seem better than it really is.
well, it shouldn't have a double chance to proc, it's just applying the 2nd sunder debuff additively to the threat generated, it's not actually casting devastate twice (if it did that you'd see 2 yellow hits land right?). I think it's actually the act of casting devastate that procs SNB and the damage, on top of this cast, is a hardcoded effect of /cast Sunderarmor that gets put with devastate, the glyph basically does a /cast Sunder Armor x2 with each cast of devastate built in.
Shouldn't affect SnB procs but it'd be best to be thorough and test it Kru =]
I just want to point this out, because it seems to get lost in the threat discussion of the issue... Glyph of HS may not be more threat, but it should be significantly more damage than Glyph of Devastate even factoring in the added ArP at the start of a fight. This is especially true the smaller the group gets (i.e. the higher your contribution to total damage), and the higher your crit rate rises - think Loatheb, where you're well-advised to help damage by taking the spore debuff a little into the fight as well.
I'm just wondering whether the same hold true for a 10 man raid situation. I personally am not at all concerned about threat, I've had no issues with that yet, I am looking into maximazing my contribution to boss kills, among other things with my own DPS and increasing raid DPS.
Furthermore, the discussion above also (as far as I can see) doesn't factor in Deep Wounds. Together with Invite Heroic Strike will almost guarantee that Deep Wounds is always up. Considering that faster weapons have a swingtimer close to or equal to the GCD Heroic Strike should (this is pure untested theoretical banter though) be much more important that Devastate. Crits will also add threat, which should work nicely on fights where infinite rage isn't reality, as well as for offtanking situations.
So based upon what I've seen so far I'm still edging towards Glyph of Heroic Strike over Glyph of Devastate, but I'm very curious to see how further testing pans out.

How would Glyph of HS increase your damage if you have an endless rage situation? Not at all compared to the Devastate Glyph.
The only minor correlation is that with inflated crit rates, or I guess even standard lower crit rates, Glyph of HS can provide more rage to let you use more abilities, which is more damage, in theory.
The reality is the damage gain may be extremely minimal, and may not outweight the threat gain of Glyph of Devastate
Formerly Xavastrasz
I don't always MTbecause I split it with a paladin just because it's more fair that way. I just changed to dev glyph in the past week dropping the HS glyph that gives me 10 rage. Ive not noticed a dps increase or decrease on the bosses I tanked when I looked back over parses for the past 3 weeks. My tps has stayed the same as well. What I did notice is I get my sunders up faster so I can start to use all my gcd on better things. Which just makes it more simple at the start to get the 5 stack up to increase all the melee's dps. To me thats the biggest benefit. Since I don't MT all the time I am sure changing that glyph has hurt my rage generation because I am not being hit and when I crit with HS I am not getting the free rage. It seems more to me that it just depends what you like to do. Neither glyph stands out a great deal over the other.
I can't get over how much this thread gets overlooked. Bumping it to clear up some confusions.
Now, to throw an extra bone in there.. what happens when:
We use a slower weapon? (For theorycrafting purposes, say Broken Promise.)
The changes to Dev's Damage in 3.2?
If Dev does more threat with this glyph, does this move it up in the priority list? Especially if it hits harder via Wep/3.2?
I am by no means a math guru, anyone care to take a gander at this?
In the future, if they fix rage/HS problems, and if Dev is comparable to HS threat, with a slower wep/glyphed/3.2'd(TM), theororeticly you can actually get Dev's off faster, than 2.5s HS's...
Now, would our overall TPS go up? How about DPS? Low rage scenarios, infinate?
I have a feeling that Dev might start hitting harder, for more threat, and with the exception of an infinate rage scenario, with the quick application of sunders and chance to proc SnB, might it become the better of the 2?
Myself being someone who tanks using mouseovers after discovering them from being a healer, I have some of my single target abilities going to specific places.
I use a focus macro to set a focus target for every pull. Everyone in my raid knows this, and can use/assist this focus. I have my SS set to target=focus for this, sometimes. (thank god for hotbars and keybinds.) What this allows me to do is hold 3 targets with the ease of say a paladin, with my SS hitting my focus, my target getting my rev(and HS) allowing me to switch, and my Devastate is on a mouseover, allowing me to spam it around and get sunders up on all my targets while watching my (Skull) and (X) targets.
If god forbid this glyph, a slow wep, and when Dev get's 3.2'd(TM), this could make for very interesting changes.

November 23, 2004 8:27:03 AM - Glomgore 10+ Years of tanking? Priceless
I'd be interested in seeing how the changes coming in 3.2 effect the premise discussed above.
I currently use blocking / revenge / vig glyphs in my single target TPS spec/set. Should I consider swapping one out for devastate come 3.2?
Be a Champion, not a hero.
revenge glyph just gives you free rage cost on next HS. If the rage issues seem to be smoothed out in 3.2 there's no longer a reason to have this glyph and devastate will definitely benefit you more by glyphing it, not to mention having faster sunders.
Be a Champion, not a hero.
I ran Glyph of Devastate for a good long time after Wrath came out (I tried it out the box doing heroics with the Glyph of Sundering Garbage - what a letdown that glyph was)...I always felt kinda guilty running with it in place of the Glyph of Heroic Strike - the more popular choice at the time...but I just loved those quick sunders and being able to focus on my normal threat rotation sooner. Sure rage was a problem at times, but boy did it seem worth it.
Now that I'm running cooldown-centric glyphs in a more survivability based spec and switching between UA (to try it out) and DPS specs for my second spec I had to ditch that glyph. I never thought I'd miss it as much as I do...
It's great to read all this theory crafting and am excited to maybe work this glyph into my spec again. Awesome thread.
