and I was talking about how you shouldn't be using CS over HoW during AW, especially if specced into SW.
a pretty huge part of the damage you do during SAW is from doing double the amount of HoW casts. if you delay your HoW, you lose that and you're basically left with a 50% longer AW, which is still pretty decent, but isn't better than any of the other 2 talents.
got a TF normal primo trinket and am wondering if i should use it over normal spark?
i have N spark and N feather.
BTW: new thread is a good idea =D
I recently got 4 piece T15 and I'm now wondering if/when I should use TV with the 4T15 buff even if I'm not at 5 HP yet. I tried some different things with SimulationCraft but everything was a DPS loss in contrast to the usual pre-T15 priority. Could this be because I have a quite low gear level? It's a mix of 502 and 522 items while my weapon sadly is still the 483 LFR Shin'ka (Ret is only my second spec).
Any advice?
So I hate to gloat over my good luck, but I coined H Horridon tonight and got heroic thunderforged trinket, coined H Tortos (our first kill) and got the heroic thunderforged necklace (amulet of the primal turtle). The stats are MEH, but a socket and that 541 ilvl too good to pass up.
When I saw "loot" pop up on Tortos I dared to hope of a heroic weapon hehe, I forgot he really dropped any other strength items.
That feel when you coin H Megaera, see Loot and after 1 second delay it's a ring. And 2 rings in loot chest.

I will be changing back to my ret paladin in 5.4, he was my main for 5 years before I had this 2 year break from him, really excited to play him again. Anyway, to my question.
In what situations do you pick HA/SW/DP? I've been training in LFR abit and found that HA works really nice for bats on Tortos for example. I don't need a huge explanation just examples of situations where it's generally good to pick either of them. Like, "HA is good if there are big packs of adds spawning regularily", something like that.
Sincerely, Distinkt
Sanctified Wrath is your best pick on any fight unless you're in charge of tanking Magaera adds which HA is good for, rets can be used for and other similar fights with very specific aoe jobs. You can go with HA for Durumu as well and use HA to cleave down the walls but the gain isn't that good, you'll do way more on the walls but your overall dps compared to a ret doing SW isn't going to be a noticeable difference. I'm one of 2 rets in my guild (25 10/13hc) he doesn't go with HA on magaera where I destroy his overall dps, he also doesn't use HA on Durumu HC which I do and the numbers are within 5k of each other. If your tactic is to kill bats on Tortos (HC) then HA is very nice.
DP is garbage.
TL;DR
Use HA on any fight where there's 5+ targets in a 8yard aoe and they always live for more than ~15+ seconds, it's not a guaranteed dps increase over SW but it's going to give your raid a significant boost in aoe burst. DP is garbage.

I think DP should be baseline again, and SW is always a better option this tier under most situations.
P.s. DA is such a garbage fight.
