Especially when you consider spec bias.

I don't think a holy power cost is a good idea. For one, we already have two baseline HP finishers. For another, the tier already has an HP finisher ability. I like sacred shield's niche. It just...

Indeed. Sorry for the side bar, but for some strange reason taunt mechanics really interest me. A long while back (WotLK era), I researched all the available taunt mechanics that I could just to...

So I asked a warrior guildie to help me test mocking banner and found that it does NOT act like a traditional taunt and I am not convinced it acts like a pet taunt either.

In my test, I built a...

Slight sidebar: I would be interested to test out mocking banner one day when I get to levelling my warrior again. If it is anything like mocking blow used to be, it isn't even a real taunt at all...

You probably already keep up with this stuff, but just incase:

a good read.

Consecrations base damage was buffed, but it's scaling was nerfed to compensate. The result was much better threat at low vengeance levels but a relative nerf at decently high vengeance levels. ...

Oh definitely, that's why it's always important to ask (or take growl off your pets). I was just shedding light on why the glyph was not typically a solution most hunters go for. It's not worth the...

I agree on Growl, but it really isn't worthwhile burning 2 reagents each time you run heroics (unless HC means something else). Unglyphed stampede can be more dps than glyphed for both solo play and...

As an update, as of 5.2, Light's Hammer is generating threat from the damage. The healing is still oddly only generating 25% threat (instead of 50%), but at least the damage is now working.

You might look at the wording though. Section 7 specifically says that DR for dodge and parry is the same, which isn't true. It definitely makes the explanation easier, but will probably mislead...

Mathematically, the ratio is whatever Cp/Cd equals. That number includes all forms of parry and dodge that are affected by DR. Some guides try to give it in terms of total percentages, but that is...

Not to mention, he is never gonna get 2x to 3x more dps or threat from haste. It gives non trivial extra dps for sure, but not on that scale. I would expect 5%-15% depending on gear (and actually...

Does devastating combo also do damage (I've only done it on LFR and never paid much attention to the attack's damage if any plus I usually dodge them all)? If so, between that and the stacking...

Actually, the dps is a "tipping" reason as both haste and mastery are very close in damage reduction. Here is an excerpt from Theck's simulation discussion:


source:...

Note that those values for parry and dodge are asymptotes for the DR curve. For the y(x) = 1/(1/Cp + k/x) diminishing returns equation, y(x) only reaches Cp when x->infinity. Now from a display...

I would say you're pulling too small of groups if you are doing dailies as a tank. I tend to have at least 8-12 things on me. I even pull close to 30 mobs during the mogu series of the shadow pan...

My target is at least 25% total dodge and parry, but there is no math basis for that. It's a total feel good value for me and I don't feel very easy to kill. One comment I will make: I do disagree...

I agree it is a pretty bad reason. Math probably won't prove or disprove that. Unless you mean it isn't a haste vs stamina decision.

While I don't agree with his conclusions on gemming, secondary stats do have more itemization points on gems than primary stats now. I am guessing that is what he means.

Just as a note, while the Final Wrath glyph is more reliable in a sense, it is still not 100% reliable (edit: well, reliable isn't a good word here..I mean you can't use it on cooldown like you...

It also gives some parry, though not as much as a normal trinket on use/proc

Misses, Hits, and crits are independent events. You don't have to hit to crit. There should be a post somewhere on this site about the combat table which is true except for Block (since that...

Sorry for the really late response, for some reason this thread was never flagged for me as having a new post. LH is indeed bugged for threat, which is one of the reasons I have been hesitant to put...

You don't really even need to dodge it honestly if you have your active mitigation abilities timed right. I gave up cause I didn't know about the blue lines (never saw them) and just ate every combo...
