Now, before the Shard of Contempt appeared in this spreadsheet, I've been normally assuming that the Shard is, like people have been asserting, among the best in the game, certainly the second best available to me. Now that it has appeared in the sheet, though, it has pulled ahead of the DST by a considerable margin for my gear. This was something I didn't expect. Is it a bug in the sheet, or did the Shard come to be considerably more valuable as the proc rate was pinned down? I also did a small test within the sheet, switching each the DST and the Shard for the Bloodlust Brooch (for lack of readily being able to input no trinket at all), and I saw a 21 DPS loss by switching the Shard out, and only a 19 DPS loss for switching the DST out. The closest clue I can come to suggest why this might be so is that my hit rating is rather low (250s with hit rating food), and that would lower the value of DST which relies more on the proc for its EP than the Shard does. I thought I'd post here, though, incase it was indeed a sheet bug.
