I am very confident that our base miss is no more than 5%

And elsewhere on the page is some of my testing on druid Hit % and the effects of +skill. As always, I'm adding to it.
Only dealing with white damage, consider this:
3500 AP 35% Crit
NW/PI full feral this gives us ~335 damage on our attacks, critting for 737
Out of 1000 attacks (with base 5.6% dodge on the boss)
56 attacks miss
350 attacks crit (350 * 737 = 257,950)
594 attacks hit (594 * 335 = 198,990) = 456,940
25 more Agi gives you 25 AP and 1% crit 25 AP raises damage to 337/741
360 attacks crit (360 * 741 = 266,760)
584 attacks hit (584 * 337 = 196,808) = 463,568 a 1.45% increase
25 more Str gives you 60 AP raising damage to 340/748
350 attacks crit (350 * 748 = 261,800)
594 attacks hit (594 * 340 = 201,960) = 463,760 a 1.49% increase
Not much of a difference. |
You seem to be forgetting that a crit also gives 2 combo points for specials, which I'm sure is quite a bit of DPS - assuming no t4 bonus, 20 energy/2 seconds = 120 energy in the time it takes for rip to run out, which means you can do 2 moves and a rip without the talent, without clearcasting. With clearcasting, the combo point talent, and the malorne bonus, you can pretty much keep a 5 point rip going 90% of the time, which is a lot of damage. I like stacking AP, but I'm inclined towards getting more crit atm as I'm sitting on ~2.7k ap unbuffed and 33% crit.
Liar-> I'd use the Hourglass. Internal cooldown is ~45-50 seconds, works out as something like 50ap constant as well as the crit bonus. I've been using the Bloodlust/Hourglass combo for a while and it's doing well for DPS. Activated trinkets are better for rogues though IMO, mainly due to being able to use them with cooldowns (adren rush + blade flurry + bloodlust brooch is some sick damage).
I think this thread basically belongs in the druid discussion thread btw (3 roles 5 stages etc).
