Blood PVP

[qae]

Sooo considering some standard pvp blood spec.. you're gonna use the Glyph of HS for the 50% snare..

BUT the Glyph of BS (+20% dmg on snared target) doesn't affect HS anymore (so I heard).

Granted that you will want to use HS to snare your target.. wouldn't a HS+BS combo be stronger than a HS+HS? Or even a CoI+BSx2? (on 1 target obviously)

vs

Both skills get the same bonuses from talents, and BS proc SD as well, so we can compare the base stats.

BS get 40% wpn dmg +305.6 +12.5% per diseases +20% ON SNARED TARGET
HS get 50% wpn dmg +368 +10% per diseases

you see my point..



OR MAYBE I missed something obvious and I apologize for beeing a noob.

Please enlight me

Not worth the extra glyph slot, in my opinion. There are a few excellent glyph options for Blood that'll help a lot more than the BS glyph.

While Blood Strike may provide slightly more damage Strike vs Strike, the loss of a Glyph limits your options. That's why it's generally better to simply use Heart Strike.

well.. I see Glyph of HS being mandatory.. then Glyph of DS I guess..

Then there is Dark Death that could be nice for the SD procs.. and I like Glyph of AMS too.. well not sure which one would be the best.

well I just did some maths and :

assuming I hit for 1000 average on white dmg(random number)
assuming 2 disease on target
assuming target snared

BS would hit for (1000x40%+305.6)x112.5%x112.5%x120% = 1071.63
HS would hit for (1000x50%+368)x110%x110% = 1050.28

that's a 2% (which is awfull)

BUT

Bloody strike (talent) give +45% dmg AND pre-3.1 it was really a +45% to the wpn dmg bonus component of the strike, and nothing else.
So BS get 85% wpn dmg instead of 40%
and HS get 95% wpn dmg instead of 50%

in these conditions we get

BS = 1755.07
HS = 1594.78

And that's a 10%.
10% seems enough for a glyph slot.

My maths couldnt have gone terribly wrong.. I will have to test that (just can't right now because the Eastern Kingdoms are down for some reason so I can't respec T.T)
