    Ret 4 Piece set bonus - whats it worth as a % damage output

    The Ret 4 piece is going to change the uptime of sanctified wrath from 16.6% to 31.5%, does anyone have an idea of a %damage upgrade that this will be?

    my own feeling is that its going to be significant, just wondering if this has been calculated or sim'd yet?

    I did some math ... but i guess i miscalculated somewher,e becuase i'm not good at math

    i came up with:

    Case 1: with no talent and no set bonus you have an uptime of 11% on Avenging Wrath.

    Case 2: with both, talent and set bonus you have an uptime of roughly 42%.

    if you assume that you do - let's say - 50k DPS, 1,1k dmg will come additionally from your AW in Case 1.
    In case 2 although about 4,2k will come from your AW ...

    I simmed it out to just under a 10% increase on a patchwerk fight.

    As a general comparison, it's as good, if not better, than the T10 2-piece and T13 4-piece when they were relevant set bonuses. I don't want to claim it's the single best damage increase we've seen because I can't remember the math on those bonuses.

    10%, if that's a correct number, then it is extremely good for a set bonus alone, wtb 4set now

    That's obvious. The 4 set bonus is a huge bonus, AV that can be cast twice more than without it in any encounter.
    In addition, with the Sanctified Wrath talent, Hammer of Wrath is going to be one of the top damage dealing abilities.

    10% damage increase? Sounds like they based ret's DPS around having a 4 set bonus... Great that it screws them over until they have it, so it's worthless for progression. Then there's the matter of how ret will be pretty much stuck with T14, because even as it gets weaker due to lost stats, the up time will probably still make it outweigh any new bonuses...

    Indeed. Even now if I have a good gear, I am still doing less than some other classes.
    And that bonus is really, a P-0-W-A-H and I don't think if there's going to be any other better set bonus, so..

    It sucks Ret is seriously dependant on our 4 set to actually be competitive with other classes.
