Original Post:
Hi guys i've been following this thread very closely every since i starting playing ret paladin and i do have some questions regarding the new 2pc T9 bonus. As this is my 1st post, do let me know if i missed out anything.
I attempted to calculate how much agi/crit is worth to ret paladins given the new 2pc T9 bonus.
Heres the math:
Assuming a RV damage of 6.5% of total dps.
6.5% x Crit chance = % Increase In total dps
6.5% x (0.02174 x Crit Rate x 0.01) = Increase In total dps
% Increase in total dps per crit rating = 6.5 x 0.02174 x 0.01 = 0.0014131%
And then used this compare this result with STR using RAWR.
By changing a +20 str gem to No gem, i get a drop in 2dps per STR (This appears to be consistent throughout different tests, leading me to believe that RAWR assigns a value of 2dps per str)
As such:
Assuming total dps to be 5k
% increase in total dps per STR = 2/5000 = 0.0004%
Unless the math above is completely wrong, I can safely conclude that Crit/agi > STR. (I haven't even factored in the the increase in dps due to more crits for non RV damage). This however only applies if we use the STR dps stat weigh in RAWR.
However a logical conclusion would be that the RAWR model does not model STR increase to total dps very well. Given that, i do believe that STR is indeed our best stat as it increases our total damage of all our attacks including RV. What concerns me is whether we should give a higher stat weigh to AGI/CRIT given out current 2pc T9 bonus. And if so, would leather gear pull ahead of plate gear with our 2pc T9 bonus?
