Also confirmed DS. Having a tough time checking Inq, as PTR is really laggy for me.

Implemented in Simc - 1k dps gain for SW at 90, 2k for HA, 4k for DP. SW > HA > DP still, but only 1k separations.

1k dps gain for DP/HA at 85, 750 dps gain for SW. All numbers are still well below live ret sim.

Could it be from the loss, or rather, our L90 DPS talents not being implemented/available at L85? Not saying it is at all practical to run a L85 sim with ES/LP, but would that bring the sim more in line with Live?

ES at 85, with 50% of the 90 base damage and the same coefficient would be roughly a 1.5k dps gain, which still leaves us 1k under live sim.

Also Crithto (spelling?) confirmed that Harsh Words WoG shouldn't trigger Glyph of Word of Glory.

Positive that TV GCD is being reduced by haste; reference to my post on Pg 11.

Might be silly question but , even if TV/DS GCD been affected by haste , why would it be benificial ? we can't use both spells but if we have the required HP's for them at anycase , we can not spam cast them . did i miss something here ?

Another question that is , i think they will be implementing the new glyphs on next reset . We are loosing GoSoT , does this mean we will have to reforge back from mastery/crit/haste into exp ?

Yea i know that with more haste you get smaller gcd's which results faster rotations but i was talking about TV itself . Scaling TV GCD with haste doesn't mean anything really unless we are able to spam TV for a future hidden reason ( like a tier bonus maybe ? ) .

Reducing your TV gcd will grant you a DPS increase in any case and has nothing to do with spamming TVs.
If you have a shorter GCD for any ability for that reason, you will save a fraction of a second everytime you press that ability. Say TV gets reduced by .1 second, after only 14 times using TV you already gained 1 whole GCD for another ability, resulting in 1 additionaly attack in the same timeframe before TV was affected by haste and therefore additionaly DPS.
Since nearly all of rets abilities are now affected by SoB, it effectively shortens the whole cycle for ret and allows for more even more styles through the gcd reduction than before and thus more DPS.

My spreadsheet cannot change priority on the fly (to the best of my knowledge, neither can Simcraft - though it has the capability to handle additional "If HA is active and HoW off CD" conditionals to the list, which my spreadsheet just doesn't have room to hold without being very user un-friendly).

At L85 in my gear, Exo does more damage than HoW. Stress: L85. The base on Exo is high enough that the slightly higher coefficient of HoW did not pull it ahead. Exo 6275 + .677AP vs HoW 1658 + (1.61/2)AP. 12.8% of your AP needs to be 4617. That means 36k AP. Not do-able at L85. Exo is better at L85. SW changes where HoW lives because the drastically reduced CD under AW.

GCD is not overall CD. It's how long you must wait after casting spell A before you are able to cast spell B. The faster the GCD on A, the more B you can cast during the fight.

Thus the shorter TV/Inq CD, the more CS, J, etc. End of the day you generate a handful more HP over a fight, which leads to a few more TV, too. Overall result, more total damage in same time = more DPS.

Re: Shorter Inq/WoG
Are we sure that's SoB and not simply spellhaste reduction being permitted? Just wanting to make sure we know which is occurring, as they do tend to be different.

Ok, so comparing numbers to Exemplar's it seems that the sim is not using Hammer as often as it should be. During SW it should be using it every other GCD but isn't, sometimes using a CS or Judgement instead.

During HA you have what seems to be an unrealistic number of TV/Inqs. You use 191 HP generators. If we make the best case scenario assumption (unrealistically good here) that you have a 1.0 sec GCD during HA then you will get 9 generators off during HA. Times 4 for 4 HA uses gives 36 3 HP generators. 191-36+(36*3) = 263 Holy Power maximum generated. Your sim uses 70 TVs = 210 HP and 21 Inquisition to take up the other 263. So either you are using Inquisition half the time at 2 HP or you have something generating extra HP. With more realistic GCD for HA you get 8 off per HA for 32 3HP generators and 255 HP gain, leaving 45 HP for 21 Inq. Also 450 second fight / 21 Inq = 21.4 seconds per inquisition.

Finally, either you or I have severely wrong damage formulas. I'm using slightly better gear than you with similar ability usage numbers, but am getting dps results 10k+ below yours. I can rerun my sims with your gear and post the numbers if that would help.
