    New Ret Trinkets Rating Estimation Thread - Seeing through the Mists [WIP]

    Back in 4.3, Kisko put an excellent thread together that ranked expected trinket DPS. It looks like Kisko has retired, and though Anaxie has continued his thread, no one has picked up this one. In an effort to cut down on the number of threads asking what trinkets are BiS as we move from 5.0 to 5.1 and beyond, I'll be working to keep this thread up to date.

    Excel tool

    Available here. Try it out and, if you're handy with Excel, critique my methodology. Nothing is locked down, so play around.


    Stat Weights

    I have a set of T14H weights generated in SimulationCraft, using the most up to date profiles available. Everyone should generate their own weights to get the most accurate trinket ranking for their gearset. (Please note that with the nerf to our 4pc T14, these will change slightly....we're just waiting on an updated release to run the numbers again.)

    T14H: Hit (3.73) > Str (3.61) > Exp (2.59) > Haste (2.02) > Mastery (1.64) > AP (1.57) > Crit (1.56)

    Calculation & Logic

    DPS Calculation is: (StaticStat * StatWeight * StaticCoeff) + (ProcStat * StatWeight * ProcUptime [ProcDuration / ProcICD] * ProcCoeff)


    • Coefficients are based on a seven minute fight.
    • You will be able to get slightly better value out of any trinket by lining it up better with AW/GoAK/ES.
    • Prepot is used, and a second pot during second GoAK.
    • ES is used 5 secs into the fight to allow Inq, then on cooldown.
    • AW is used on the pull and on cooldown.
    • GoAK used on the pull and on cooldown.
    • Inq takes 5 secs to get up, then never falls off for more than 2.5 secs.
    • Proc trinkets take an average of 5 seconds to proc every time.
    • Use trinkets are used at 5 seconds (for Inq), then on cooldown.



    • All coefficients are based on your stat weights and SimCraft calculated dps.
    • Base proc value is the average DPS it would provide as a static stat, or ((ProcStat * StatWeight) + DPS)/DPS.
    • If a potion is up, you are getting a % dps increase of ((4000str * StrWeight) + DPS)/DPS. Multiply Base proc by this amount.
    • If ES is up during a proc, multiply the proc value by 1.05
    • If AW is up during a proc, multiply the proc value by 1.20
    • If GoAK is up during a proc, multiply the proc value by 1.17 (average gain from GoAK)
    • If Inq is not up (only on the pull), multiply the value by 0.8

    Changelog:

    3/10/12: First run at coefficients. Updated Ranking. WTF Daelo & Coren.
    3/10/12: Fixed up some calculation errors. Daelo & Lessons do not get a bonus to their static stats. (Hit / Exp)
    4/10/12: Fixed Daelo's, JCF, Inq uptime, 4pc lineup, minor bugfixes.
    5/10/12: Coren's Cold Chromium Coaster is garbage. With 25% crit chance, you have a 2.5% chance to proc it per attack, leading to poor uptime.
    10/10/12: Added link to Excel spreadsheet. Added proc trinket ICDs.
    16/10/12: Updated JCF and Iron Belly Wok procs. Fixed a couple minor calculation errors.
    4/11/12: New numbers for the 4pc nerf. Removed H & LFR JCF. Removed pre-raid DPS numbers. New spreadsheet release.
    7/12/12: New spreadsheet release with upgrade capabilities. Complete rankings for all trinket upgrade levels. Lei Shin's is now Lei Shen's!

    While I cant help in the theory-crafting department, I do appreciate your work here. Thank you.

  3. #3
    My first run at coefficients. Daelo's Final Words and Coren's Cold Chromium Coaster look extremely good because of how often they line up with ES/AW in pre-raid gear.

    Dragonling does about 200dps on a boss level target, according to EJ, putting it way below everything else from MoP. Use it to level up, but replace it as soon as possible.

    Excel Sheet should be ready tomorrow. Have at it, theorycrafters!

    Can you add Eye of Unmaking HC, Creche of the Final Dragon HC and Bone Link Fetish HC? Would like to see how they stack up against Direbrew trinket, which I've been holding off from using because of the loss of static STR

  5. #5
    Added H Eye and H Creche, but BLF is a lot more complex because of its scaling. As Anaxie said in his thread, it's probably going to be excellent for trash and AoE.

    I'll need to verify but I'm pretty sure the coaster being our lowest secondary stat is not that good, However it would require a little more testing to be sure.

    You should also do another Darkmist Vortex number set with the T14 4-set in mind because every good ret paladin is going to line Avenging Wrath up with Darkmist Vortex if at all possible. Also, Inq takes me like 4 seconds to have active. and I'm pretty sure there is no heroic Jade Charioteer Figurine because I saw people on beta doing 25-man heroics get the normal version off trash.

    Zen alchemist is really that high?

  10. #10
    OP will be updated shortly after this post.


    • Caught some minor errors
    • Fixed Daelo's proc (it's still really good)
    • Fixed JCF proc (proc scaling was exactly double my estimate)
    • Started Inq @ 5sec, and use trinkets as well

    Delaying AW for Vortex proc was an overall loss at seven minutes. It's a bit more bang for the buck to delay it only for Lei Shin's, which also tends to line up with ES.

    Even though AP is our lowest stat, it's only barely behind crit. Since the proc is over 10k AP and has a pretty good uptime, it's looking pretty darn good.

    The 390 ilvl proc pvp trinket averages out to 956 strength by itself because it has the 429 strength main stat on top of the 1452 strength for 20 seconds with a 50 second ICD and assuming 5 seconds to activate, so it should be better than Creche.

    Trinket appears to be about 67.8 seconds ICD with .38 PPM and a 6.28% uptime for a 20 min DPS test.

    It's practically impossible to line the trinket up with CD's due to the time difference and it's crit based not hit based, While we do have better crit than cata but it's still lower than most other classes. So if it was hit the trinket would be great but with it being crit not so great.

    Though when it comes to this one and the Carbonic Carbuncle isn't Coren's better ?

    IMO No it's not, CC is the Carbonic buff. I'm testing Corens and Lessons of the Darkmaster as they are the 3 trinkets I have access to I'll post the results.

    If this was a hit trinket instead of crit yes it would be glorious but it's crit so it's meh but I did notice the ICD dropping to 50 seconds where the previous test it was around 70 so who knows.

    Today's updates:

    • Ran 500k iterations in T14H BiS gear to get more exact weights; currently doing the same for Pre-Raid
    • Updated Coren's to 50s ICD, set it take 10s to proc on average (10% chance on crit), and increased its AP buff (10164 -> 10848). Big decrease in value, but still looking slightly better than Carbuncle.
    • Rearranging the list to order by Pre-Raid DPS instead of T14H, as that will be the most beneficial for now.

    List will be updated periodically today.

    What is the uptime you have the Coaster simming at according to SC.

    SC sims the coaster at 10.10% uptime, which is pretty bad. Average interval is 95.8s, which is also horrendous for a 50s ICD. That's reasonable close to your testing for now. Value drops pretty far down if they don't change it to work on hit instead (which is unlikely).

    Ya I was just curious how close sc was to my testing, thanks for the reply.

    Some calculations are really misleading. Did some 2 boss attempts ina new raid, and coren's is really weak. In raid-live proc rate is once per 2-3minutes. Usually went to second phase to see first proc or later.

    Only chance to get dps from coren's to match trinket list number, is to use Hor&Dstorm on 3x lvl 60 dummies.

    Yup, CCCC is garbage because it procs on crit only 10% of the time. Even Carbuncle is better.
