Out of Insight, Out of Mind
In the last post, we discussed a variety of topics related to modeling Seal of Insight. Now it’s time to put that modeling discussion to work. The Model I decided to stick with the conclusion I came to in my … Continue reading

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

On Measuring Survivability
The last few posts have garnered a lot of comments, and some of them have indicated that there’s some misunderstandings about the simulations we’re performing. This set of simulations started back in September, and has been evolving ever since. And … Continue reading

Stamina: Updated Smoothness Data
In the last post, I mentioned in passing that there was an odd thing happening when a gear set dropped from 7k to 6k haste. I elaborated a little on what I thought was the cause: we were crossing the … 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

Sacréd bleu!
The comments section of last Friday’s post hosted some interesting discussions. Wrathblood pointed out that some of the avoidance gear sets were performing about as well as the Control/Haste set, and Kihra cautioned against counting out Control/Mastery entirely. There was … Continue reading

Is Nothing Sacred?
I’ve been hinting all week that there was some big news coming up regarding our gearing choices. If you’ve followed the last two rounds of smoothness simulations, it looks an awful lot like Control/Mastery is the solid winner. To put … 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
