- @Slootbag I could maybe see an efficiency argument though. Large DPS gain for small relative HPG impact due to proc 22 hours ago
- @Slootbag it is a sizable damage increase though, but so would just prioritizing AS with or w/o proc 22 hours ago
- @Slootbag it's actually an HPG loss though. The probability of wasting a proc is very small, so the loss incurred by CS pushback is greater 22 hours ago
- @Slootbag @ConverttoRaid TLDR rarely worth separating AS from ASGC, and none of the edge cases boost one over CS/J but not the other 1 day ago
- @Slootbag @ConverttoRaid or you want max DPS, in which case AS> all regardless of proc status. 1 day ago

Modeling Seal of Insight
Seal of Insight is the last major paladin mechanic that has yet to be added to the simulation. The last piece of the puzzle, as it were. There are a number of reasons I’ve put off adding SoI, some of … Continue reading

Stamina Addendum: Socket Stuffer?
Earlier this week, I made a pretty lengthy post discussing the merits of stamina as a smoothing stat. One of the common (and expected) criticisms was that I used the usual itemization ratio of 1 haste : 1.5 stamina for … Continue reading

Stamina: Keeping You Up Longer
What’s the most misunderstood element of tanking? There are a myriad of topics you could offer as guesses. But the question I field more often than any others isn’t about rotations, talents, glyphs, or cooldowns. It’s not even about which … Continue reading

Control Shift En-tier
About a week ago, Wrathblood asked me to take a more thorough look at the Tier 15 2-piece bonus. The earlier simulations I ran were based on a lower-ilvl gear set (496) which was more constrained in its itemization, and … Continue reading
