Original Post:

Hi everyone, i'm sorry for re-asking this, since i'm quite sure this must have been adressed before, but i can't seem to find it, either here or in the "BiS" thread :

Which of the 2 sigils is better for unholy 2h DPS? Awareness or Vengeful Heart?

Im not sure how they work (is the bonus damage applied before or after all the multipliers such as AP, Morbidity, Impurity, Vicious Strikes, Outbreak...) so i really have trouble figuring it out myself even though i am able to determine how many SS/DC i do in my 20 seconds rotation

This is the (rather poor) math i was able to come up with :

In a 20 seconds rotation, assuming SS glyph is nice to me, i'll cast 5 SS and generate either 170 or 130 RP (whether i wear 4pieces of T7 or not)

Which means i'll cast one unholy blight and then either 130/40 = 3.25 DC or 80/40 = 2 DC (let's ignore gargoyle to not make it too complicated)

2 x 380 < 5 x 189 so if i dont wear 4 T7, i guess Awareness wins
but 3.25 x 380 < 5 x 189 so i would assume Vengeful wins then.

But these calculations are assuming that the bonus dmg (+380 DC or +189 SS) is added on top of everything else, and i doubt that is the case...

Thanks in advance for any answers and forgive my bad english, it's not my mother language !
