I had AoK stacks fall off twice on Ultraxion tonight, something I have never noticed before. While this isn't nearly conclusive, it leads me to believe that SoT may have been changed to not proc...

As far as I know, this usually isn't a place to talk about what items are BiS, but some of the reason behind our BiS trinkets conceptually based, so I don't think it's a problem to talk about...

Not sure about the overall evaluation, but that is a terrible estimate for AoK's Use, since it will always be used with cooldowns. It is between 1.5x and 2.0x that value. Also, Brooch's internal CD...

You left out Eye of Unmaking (78 str/88 str/99 str per hit, 10 stacks, for LFR/N/H versions). When manually putting in its strength, even the LFR version is (slightly) better than Bone-Link Fetish....

On Madness of Deathwing, all the haste gets my CS to 3.05s. What is the definitive answer for how low I need the cooldown to be to merit only 1 filler?

LAotL = sprint for 60% speed with 50% uptime, instead of averaging 20% speed passively. Seems far superior to me.

It doesn't really matter if you have haste>crit or crit>haste, based on what we know now. I favor crit, because haste being worthwhile is a relatively new piece of info, and in a debate, I'll stick...

SoT is our best glyph, by far. It's 300 expertise rating, which is equivalent to roughly 150-180 str, depending on your gear, stat weights, and how you end up reforging. The only way you'd ever want...

Shannox's cleave is brutal. I'd rather wait a second for him to settle, and fire off an exo, than risk dying.

Baleroc's positioning is too important to risk screwing up, at least for us. Attacking...

Our MT is a prot paladin. He pulls with Exorcism, so I start mine right after he does. I put it in parentheses because it doesn't work on every fight, and I've never actually read about someone else...

I was under the impression that that's only a possible change, though I agree. Any changes, or even differences in the relative damage of our abilities due to scaling, could change the priorities.

I would think that speccing out of them completely would skew the results pretty heavily.

I'd say do multiple tests with each method to figure out the average damage of each attack, and then figure...

DS is better than CS if there are 4 or more targets for dps. You'll also do way more damage, since the legs have -dmg% the entire fight. The problem is that you're helping steer, not working on...

When I say you're pushing back Zealotry, I mean that you wait longer to use it. Since you are saying you use them together when AoK is at 5 stacks, you will have to delay your AW the same amount of...

.24% better for your overall dps, but that still means Exorcism's Glyph would be something around 25%+ better than CS's.

5% crit on an ability you use every ~4.25 seconds is simply not a significant...

I spent way too much time yesterday figuring that out. It's not worth it. The glyph will get you like 1/3rd of a crit extra, and 1 stack of AoK is something like a 5% dmg increase on CS and TV. It...

That's not how math works. Multiplying from cooldowns and a 40% buff is the same as doing it at the end. Adding 40% to the average is the same thing. If it was 100% buff, everything would do double...

Plugging it in is perfectly accurate to estimate the change's magnitude. Buffs are already figured into that.
