Even if the Cat 4t13 was completely worthless, and not situationally dependent as it currently stands, any high progressing DPS feral would get the bonus ASAP. A 20s raid CD from a DPS player is a...

@Grog:

You can refresh DoTs early (aka 'clipping') without losing out on any tics. IIRC you have up to a 2 tic 'grace period' so for a 20s use trinket, you can Rip, Rake, Rake again, then Rip with...

Hit may be bad, but it's not like it's significantly worse than a better stat like Mastery (YMMV, but I'd be extremely surprised to find a stat setup where hit ends up being worth only half of...

I would've expected Use trinkets to be generally better than proc trinkets. For one thing, despite Proc trinkets having 20% more maximum uptime compared to Use trinkets, in actual practice the gap is...

@tangedyn:

The simulation always puts Haste ahead of Crit by ~0.03 (Crit @ 0.86, Haste @ 0.89), whereas the formulation puts Crit ahead of Haste by a much larger margin of 0.9 (Crit @ 0.85, Haste @...

Primal madness is a separate buff from tiger's fury. You can cancel one without affecting the other. In the case you've mentioned, if you lose the buff when over 20 energy, all you've done is gotten...

It's a tradeoff between convenience/ease and raw dps. There's three factors that make hit & expertise not required for optimum dps:

1. White hits & associated fury swipes only make up ~1/4 of our...

The parse also seems to be incomplete. XT has (including heart hp) ~28M total for a kill. You've only got a 10M window on your segment, which I suspect is inflating dps.

Hm, did I forget to add that? I used the below as damage for a single OB:

The "358(base)" would be from the weapon damage (179 * 2.5 * 0.8), so the 852 comes from the base + the flat amount. Should...

Even with 1/3 morb, you're looking at a 1.68 multiplier for DC.

Re-doing numbers, we get for total 20s damage:
DC: [823+0.15AP] * 1.265 * 8.4 = 8745 + 1.59AP
OB: 4645 + 0.97AP
