License to Slay: 367 str (per Lorayth's calcs on p24), 321 hit -> 367*2.32 + 321*1.75 = 1413, of course assuming you're using all the hit rating. Str component drops on fights with extended periods with nothing to hit, as you need to rebuild stacks. The other trinkets have similar problems, so this is not unique to LtS.

first of all, i can only recommend using redcapes/exemplars spreadsheets to optimize and plan your equip.


to your question, in my opinion you are right. with the lack of hit on most 359 and 372 items, LtS and Ashkandi are the best source for hit.

here are my results for the heroic trinkets to compare with my posting above. i assume the exp on heart of rage reforged to mastery (with the resulting 217 exp needed to cap) because there should be no lack of exp items.

CW: 1134
Heart: 1277

so even CW heroic is worse than Fury used under AW.

I wasn't asking about how haste affects BoA. I already got that from the threads here. What I was wondering is how the Glyph of BoA affects this formula. I have never been a fan of nightfall procs when you're stacking haste as it doesn't give you all that much of a increase, but have always been a fan of talents/glyphs that do more damage or extend durations. I assumed that the glyph of BoA is better than corruption, but I wondered if anyone had done some naked testing as well as gear testing to see how haste affects BoA when BoA is glyphed. If the glyph of BoA is better than corruption I'm definitely going that route, or even if it's a wash as I'd rather have a defined benefit than a proc benefit.

I apologize for sort of repeating myself but I just want to make sure I have an understanding.

If I were to more or less following the -normal- list that was posted and upgraded it with heroic gear. " Ring from Sinestra being one of the variants " the two trinkets to use would be: License to Slay and Fury of Angerforge? This is with the understanding that it's a fight where I can keep the stack rolling continuously and make full use of the hit rating it gives. Which means not reforging the haste and other secondary stats as the list posted suggested. This, if I'm not mistaken, would also require the acquisition of Ashkandi from Nefarion to supplement any left over hit.

Also, only one person mentioned it, but after the patch will the Hurricane trinket not be a factor as well anymore?


And, one last question. I believe it was Redcape in a previous post that mentioned how that despite one of the secondary stats having a higher weight " crit rating before information about the patch " that purely stacking it only increased the value of the other stats " in this case being haste " Which meant that you more or less had to have a closer balance between the two, rather than purely stacking one over the others. With the changes coming for Mastery, will it follow that same mold? That stacking it over all else and scaling it to much higher percentages than the others, makes the other stats worth more than the general stat weights show and should require us to have more of a balance?
