[TC] Heroic/HWF Trinket Comparison Charts

[Komma]

Part three of trinket comparisons. Arcane happens to be easiest because the profile stays the same regardless of haste caps, and requires no reforging.


25K iterations, 450 seconds single target, error bar +-230 DPS

Long story short, KTT > BBoY regardless of Heroic or Heroic Warforged.

WOOHOO updated pic for the compendium!

[Lionheart]

I was wondering if BBoY would be viable on sub 3 mins fights and bosses where NT is the biggest damage dealer, like TFP, Klaxxi, Dark Shaman and even Norushen. I mean, the multistrike isn't a big deal on those bosses, or is it?

[voltaa]

It is viable, but still not optimal. Our DoTs don't really last long enough for the stacking buff to really benefit us too much. With good RNG of course the top end will be higher with BBOY but the strong aspect of KTT for us isn't the actual proc, its the passive, it's a straight up damage increase that the stats from BBOY can't compete with. The multistrike is a huge deal for us.

[Cycobi]

For Multi-Dotting BBoY *can* be competitive as it allows for reaching 14242 Haste easier, allowing for more overall Mastery.

But, Voltaa is right, Multistrike is still (on average) going to be superior. Good RNG swings in favour of BBoY, but because we don't have DoT extension mechanics this expansion (unlike Shadow Priests and Warlocks), BBoY has to proc frequently to consistently enable stronger DoTs.
