So I did some testing on the target dummy (only because I'm not very good with simcraft). I was comparing the damage of Bloodbath vs Storm Bolt. The test involved using CS followed By stormbolt and ignoring crits the average hit came to ~230k. Meanwhile a single bloodbath lined up with CS, Reck, Skull Banner, and using Dragon Roar and a full rotation for the duration still managed to only average ~390k. I ran 50 tests of both to get these numbers. This would put Stormbolt at about 460k every minute if always lined up with CS which is well ahead of Bloodbath's numbers. On a fight where there is no cleave (Jin'rokh) am I missing something that still puts Bloodbath ahead of Stormbolt?

Both tests were done with a flask and battle shout and no other buffs. How much is damage is Avatar giving per minute (Can't test this very well without simcraft)? Most warriors I see are using bloodbath so I would assume it is coming out ahead of avatar for the moment.

If it hasn't already been noted, Dancing Steel is also benefiting from the recently added bad RNG protection change to the RPPM trinkets. I tested it by hitting a dummy once a minute. Since I have 8.54% haste at the time of the test, my chance to proc either hand's enchant should cap out at 2.3*1.0854*10/60 = 41.607%. Waiting a minute or 2 in between hits gave me a proc from both hands on the first hit 10 times straight, which would be absurdly unlikely if bad RNG protection wasn't affecting it.

If DS is also affected, it stands to reason that other RPPM effects(if not all of them) are affected as well, but I haven't checked any others.

IMHO stormbolt is way bettter then BB for ams on non AoE bosses.
With 504 weapon got dat results: 300k+ noncrits selfbuff +60%, raid+gear+burst crit bonuses, resulting average 480dmg on burst, minus 170k - boosted slam we have 310k pure dmg on burst(ignorinig bonus critical dmg).
With 4t14 and 5.0 trinkets you can do same damage every ~90 seconds. Every ~30 sec we have: 320k average stormbolt minus averaget 2t14 MS - 190k additional dmg.

Now compare this to bloodbath. Only every third bloodbath does high damage. Average BB nonreck damdage around 200k,reck (let us ignore bonus crit dmg for this calculations) 450k reck average resulting 1300k total in 3.3m.

Bloodbath average 1300k in 3.3m
Stormbolt average 1690k in 3.3m (3reck, 4 nonreck)

Without 4t14 and with 5.2 trinkets Srormbolt shows us worse results but still a bit better (but harder) choise for solo/cleave fights.(yeah! stormbolt can be cleaved! Yes, it can be amaizing during Durumu fight!)

Do not forget that only 2/3 of damage is boosted by BB.

For AoE fights i like to use Avatar - most arms AoE dmg comes from DW. (And i also have Ji-Kun's wich also can not be well used with BB on pull)
Maybe i'm worng, but this is the way i see things.
This post was made for people far from simc.

Misread

I originally had thought they might be changing the proc mechanic for RB to be similar to that of MS/OP, but it makes sense it's just a tooltip correction, as RB's timer is longer than the enrage buff.

*oops*. Simcraft (and I) were still thinking Bladestorm cancels auto-attacks, which it apparently no longer does on live. I have the feeling that Bladestorm will look a lot better with the next simc release.

Sorry about that, but that must have been changed when I wasn't monitoring the class a long time ago.

Does the skull banner t15 4 piece stack with recklessness?

Not sure if it's a UI bug, but when I pop skull banner I get up to roughly 74% crit and when I pop recklessness after my dragonroar, it stays at roughly 74% crit... I'm thinking it breaks the UI because it would take it over 100%.

I've had my trinket proc after this which put me up to circa 78% crit.

On an unrelated note that isn't warrior specific, does SimC currently apply the bad RNG protection mechanic to just the RPPM trinkets, or to all RPPM effects? I can confirm both Dancing Steel and the warrior T15 2pc definitely benefit from the bad RNG protection too, which would suggest that every RPPM effect is likely covered.

to all RPPM effects as it wouldn't make sense otherwise. But good to see that it is behaving the same on live servers.

Is there a break point where it would be better to reforge to haste due to legendary metagem procs instead of mastery? Or could someone explain to me how to sim different reforges (low on gold or I would just test it myself)? Right now I'm sitting on 22.5% mastery and 8.91% haste, and assuming my math wasn't wrong and that the proc rate of the metagem scales linearly with haste increases, it seems like if I reforged to 10% haste and went down to 21.4% master, I would have a pretty substantial increase in dps. I took the proc rates from one of my world of logs for metagem damage %, enrage uptime, etc. and then tested the change in haste and mastery % with a base 1,000,000 damage and got this.
Here is the log I took the %'s from

For the math I did I just assumed that the total damage for an encounter excluding the metagem and the benefits of mastery during enrage was 1,000,000

32.7% enrage uptime
94.3% of damage benefits from enrage

5.7% from meta
22.5% mastery
8.93% haste


6.38% from meta
21.38% mastery
10% haste

1000000 base damage
w/ 10% haste
1,068,670 physical
100000 nature

1000000 base damage
w/ 8.9% haste
1,071,940 physical
57000 nature

I wasn't sure how to take into account the fact that mastery also gives you extra melee swings, but it seems like the increase in the metagem procs would yield better dps than the increased mastery, especially in between full mastery %'s due to the rounding of Mastery: Unshackled Fury

Edit: I simmed it with a few reforges to haste instead of mastery and despite a 5% increase in haste the dps from the metagem only increased by .1%, so it appears to not scale linearly with haste at all.

Glad to be of help. You want to make sure you have at least 1 stack of RB when CS is about to come up, but don't sit on 2 stacks of RB
