that would be perfectly normal if the amount of mastery is larger than the amount of haste. For example 100 mastery to haste is obviously better than 10 expertise to 10 haste for almost any value of...

With the most recent PTR build, Sudden Doom is fixed again.

I stripped down to zero haste and used frost presence to autoattack a low level dummy for a little over 1 hour to test the new proc...

Sadly, it's far worse than that. With the new PTR build, rolling shields are gone completely. The duration on blood shield does not refresh when you apply a new one, and it is difficult to be 100%...

On PTR I see 5518/4183, for a ratio of 0.758 with glyph and 27% dreadblade. Unequipping all of my gear, so I am down to base mastery gives a hit of 2414/1830, for a ratio of 0.758 with glyph....

No you don't. The armor webbing takes the enchant slot, and the rocket/hyperspeed accelerators use the tinker slot, so you can have both armor and rocket on gloves.

Actually, there's an even easier explanation - I am idiot. WoL shows the percentage of an ability against damage done by the player alone, it doesn't include pets. The 4.5% there is ~ 3.5% overall.
