25 Man Raid Blood Vs Unholy

[mars]

Went unholy, finally broke 4k dps on Sartharion on heroic. still a bit awkward on the rotations but i'll get the hang of it. tyvm again porphy. i never thought i'd say this but it looks like unholy is the place to be, for now.

For stat Weight, blood gains more from stats, not unholy. 1 ap is same for all specs, but str with blood u gain more per 1 point of str. So going by stat weight blood will gain more from most of the stats u gain from armour or weapon.

Stat Unholy Blood Frost
1AP 1.0000 1.0000 1.0000
1STR 2.4847 2.5570 2.3650
1CRT 1.0207 1.2805 1.3212
1HIT 2.4631 2.7485 2.9114
1Hst 0.6046 0.6345 0.5619
1Exp 2.1660 2.8481 2.0712
1Apr 0.5918 1.2693 0.9086
1AGI 0.8150 0.9164 1.0008
1Arm 0.0278 0.0294 0.0319
1dps 6.3169 8.4347 9.5283
Spec 17/0/54 51/13/7 17/54/0

as you can see blood gains more benefit from every stat. Whil i concede that maybe unholy spec might be the premiere dps spec ATM, going by the wow meters rankings, blood still scales better than unholy or frost, so maybe down the road it will be top dog.

The stat weights are in favor of blood. This is true. What it isn't taking into account is the spell factor of our DPS. While our damage is based off of AP the talents in unholy increase our coefficients far beyond the slight differences. in weights -- stats/gear being the same.

On vacation ATM using a hotel computer so I don't have the link available, but there is a stat weight chart out there that factors in those talents and shows stat to melee weight and stat to spell weight. It's a bit different read but very well done. Maybe another reader here can find it and link it.

EDIT: spelling
