I've had the same issues when simming trinkets. Showing proc-only values works best if all the procs were the reforgeable crit/haste/hit/mastery. However, with int, it becomes a bit of apples to...

I've always believed that the "start with SB" cast order is one of those situation where theory doesn't always jive with reality. Many fights require the raid to run into on the pull. In such...

RoF has some other niche advantages:

Main reason you would use RoF over SoC is to prevent aggro pulls. Specifically, a fight like Sarth comes to mind, where new adds are constantly spawning, and...

If you want to have a run speed enchant, is the crit meta + best boot run speed enchant better than the damage/run speed meta + icewalker?

I would think the 25 damage/run speed meta would be superior to the 25 damage/+int meta, because it frees up the boot enchant for icewalker. Of course my underlying assumption here is that you...

I think the 2500 dps numbers are at level 80, not at level 70. Also, I find that most damage meters tend to undercount affliction dps because they tend to assign us with higher amounts of time doing...
