If you think someone is trolling you then the proper action is to report them. We simply do not permit posters to go back and forth slinging e-poo at one another. Please review our forum rules, particularly 3 and 6. For what it's worth, to an objective third party, you weren't being trolled here. Disagreement with your opinion != trolling, we call it discussion here.

Additionally, while nice for you, personal raid situations don't exactly contribute a lot to science. We do not know the gear level nor skill level of your raid group, nor how much luck factored into that one run. Anecdote isn't the singular form of data.

Please reread my previous posts on this thread, and read this last one you are trolling, that way you will understand what I mean.

In a nutshell, it is mostly a personal agreement with the people who said the sims were flawed. My personal experience is very valid if I'm crossing with my personal sims. Although the absolute values are only anecdotes, the delta/discrepancy between the two can be considered evidence.

If you are still offended by my post, I beg your pardon. What I stated about, along with sharing my happiness about the results, were my motivations for the post.

About your reference, allow me to quote it here. However, using Glyph of Bloodletting, although suboptimal, allows for a better comparison of the previous results I was getting.

Glyph of Shred has become Glyph of Bloodletting, and now works for both Mangle and Shred. The intention of this change is to reduce the penalty whenever we are forced to Mangle instead of Shred. Unfortunately, even with this change, Glyph of Bloodletting is still inferior to Glyph of Berserk, Glyph of Mangle and Glyph of Rip for mangle-spam encounters (Hi Ultraxion!), so this change really does nothing for us. This has been tested with 4T12, 2T12+2T13 and 4T13.

Which makes sense, specially for fights like Ultraxion. However, for fights where you spend only part of your time in front of the boss, Bloodletting might be a dps increase. Or, to say it another way: on any fight that you would use Glyph of Shred, the new Glyph will either not make a difference, or big a sizable dps increase.
