It is also dependent on gear as haste values and other aspects greatly affect procs, i have had many times pushing 4-5and holding this or others were im holding 2-3 regardless it is our 2nd bis. The feather is bis as guaranteed when it procs ur pushing up to 14k strength as is ever lined up with a pillar and Obliterate KM u will do ungodly amounts of dmg.
The fact that the feather has a BIGGER proc makes it better as ppm works on a diff system, using council spell trinket on my 517 lock same identity as feather, it can proc almsot back to back in some cases or be anywhere from 30seconds - 1.5 min diff in uptime, regardless it is a superior trinket due to this.
Thought id post here instead of making a new thread:
Now to my understanding, Thunderforged trinks are not included in that first line of trink sim. Adhereing to that Shadopan supposedly > Spark, but what if its a thunderforged spark?
Right now I have Feather Shadopan and TFSpark. Using F & TFSpark atm, really wish shado wasnt so boring- but should I still be using Shado> TFSpark?
Thanks.
Id sim it myself if I was at a PC that could, unfortunately still at work for another 10 hours.
You had bad RNG, Feather should have way more uptime than Shadopan but it depends on how much haste you have and, of course, on luck.
In my opinion TF Spark > Shadopan. Even the normal one, depending on RNG and haste, could be better as well.
Just my personal opinion, but I really don't like Spark. By the time it gets stacked up all of your other damaging cooldowns/procs are on CD, and for me Spark ALWAYS seems to get to 10 stacks right before a transition.
You don't judge things only from data but you need to account also your personal opinion.
As Unholy I find spark very strong (normal playstile) while as Frost I find it kinda weak. That, of course, is based first of all on my personal opinion and secondly on data.
If a trinket procs a lot of times during or near a transition it loose a lot of its value even if, on paper, it's BiS.
Which is why I didn't make a factual statement, since I prefaced my post with OPINION.
We had been working on heroic Ji-Kun, and though I'm not inclined to check our logs, Spark DID transform multiple times a few seconds before a nest, down draft, etc., and that fact irritated me enough to not want to use the trinket.
Right now I'm using Heroic MSV trinket and Shado-pan. I guess I should aim for the Rage trinket as I'm pretty sure I couldn't use the hit off of the Feather.
That sound about right?
