Hourglass has a chance to proc multiple times within the CD of a single usage of BB/Mug, which probably lands it pretty close…probably almost negligible damage differences as long as application of the proc-usage when running bb/mug is optimal (using it to reapply high AP snapshot bleeds and during boss vulnerability or burn moments that last the full duration). However since the mug is 1:1 to brooch, as long as you get full up-time on both buffs and use them in succession, one after the other, every single time you use them, it’s likely to be better than brooch/hourglass. You know, it’s funny, I didn’t expect those trinkets to pop-up at all so since they were rather unexpected I never ran calculations/sims for them. ^how does bloodlust brooch + empty mug of direbrew Trust me, I’ve got DFT, Kiss of the Spider & Slayers Crest, all hanging in the bank so I have the options and I know how tough it was to “drop them” for the new stuff, but…that’s just DPS for you. If so, they should be using FF, reducing your global CD load slightly and making this a non-issue entirely since your “hit cap” becomes much lower.

Regardless of it putting you below hit cap.Īlso, do you have a boomkin? You should. Sometimes, you may be slightly under hit cap, and you’re putting on a hit item to hit the cap, and all that extra hit over the cap is wasted, making that item a worse pick than a non-hit item with simply more offensive stats.ĭFT is definitively worse than hourglass, though, in every single way. However, this means that when you look at items, you are still weighing it against the alternative, and sometimes, an item with hit could potentially be worse than an item without (usually the items that are without stats like str/agi etc). It’s weighted less than agility, actually, although it is technically the strongest weighted 2ndary stat up until your cap. You’re also thinking a bit too much about “the hit cap”.įor a feral cat, hit is weighted like any other stat and doesn’t have as drastic an effect simply by not being at “the hit cap”. It (DST) stays strongly recommended for bear form, though, as a threat trinket.

In P2, Tsunami Talisman/DST is again your BiS until you reach your 4p T5, in which DST gets outclassed by BB again. In a typical run through, your cat melee attacks are ~30% of your damage in addition to your rotation only being limited by your GCD as we are not limited by energy depletion (due to powershifting), so DST is very good especially if you get good proc RNG. Otherwise you should be using BB/Hourglass.
ABACUS OF VIOLENT ODDS UPGRADE
Technically BB/Dragonspine Trophy is your BiS trinkets, but since the upgrade for DST over Hourglass is so small, most lists skip it so that you don’t waste the “loot karma” on getting one and instead let your hunters have it (or a class that benefits a lot more). I play in a mid-core guild (haven’t even cleared SSC yet) but my P1-P2 logs for T4 content logs orbit within the top 50 world ranks for feral cat (depending on how hard I’m pushing that week or our kill time RNG). You’re slightly on the wrong track, but I can help.
