[5.1] Shado-pan or DMC trinket?

[Korie]

Right, so after the 5.1 nerf(dodge on use reduced by around 5k) what would be best? the shado pan or the DMC trinket, I currently have the DMC trinket but I am doing my dailys to get the Shado-pan one aswell, what would you guys think?

Discuss!

Cleary, that is the most tought trough comment today, The darkmoon trinket currently boosts my dodge from 9% to 18% for 12 seconds every 1 minute, I havent tried the Shado-pan one thats why I ask, not to see some guy reply "afaik valor trinket is bis".

For us, mastery> dodge, so it stands to reason that the one with mastery would be better. Especially with the incoming nerf to the dodge rating granted by the dmc.

I would stick with shado pan. Someone calculated that the pre-nerf Niuzao is equivalent to 3000+ mastery stat-weight-wise (I really need to dig up that post again). Dodge is our weakest stat too.

If something is bis, there is a reason to it. Just learn to use said item correctly.

With the Niuzao on-use effect reduced, the Shado-Pan trinket will give more stats (more stamina, more rating), better stats (mastery > dodge), and also last longer (15s vs 10s, with the same cooldown). So yeah, the Liquid Courage is definitely better. The only question left is whether there's something else more beneficial you should spend valor on first.

What you're not realizing is that the answer is unhelpful. People like to understand the why to things, not just be told to do them. If they don't understand why, then they have learned nothing of value. How will he know when to stop using it? If it changes, or a new trinket comes out, or he gets something new, how can he decide on his own if he needs to swap it out or not if he doesn't know why it's a good choice?

I think Ghostcrawler mentioned on Twitter that the DMC trinkets weren't actually getting nerfed in 5.1:
"We didn't change the stats on the relics. We made a behind the scenes change to let them upgrade correctly. Data mining issue?"

[Meteoric]

Oh! Interesting.

[Darth Steve]

One of the blues(Daxx?) confirmed this as well - the DMC card nerfs were specifically for Challenge Mode scaling. So we're still good ;-)

The front page of MMO-Champion has corrected itself.

then they'd be on EJ where they break the shit down with math
you come here to know where you're going, now why you're going there

They don't need to go "where they break shit down with math" in order to understand why something is good/bad. People are here to discuss and give help. It's not very nice to just say "because I/he/X says so."

Anyway, now that we know this was a datamined error, I will be closing this.
