Hello, here's a link to my armory http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...calp&cn=Nurwon
I recently acquired the t10 gloves there in a lucky vault run, but already had my t9.5 http://www.wowhead.com/?item=48256. As you can see I was essentially trading in my old 2 set bonus for the new one.
I tested my dps with both gloves on the target dummy, and on every attempt I took anywhere between a 300 and 500dps loss. Of course I'm keeping in mind this was self buffed on a buggy dummy, but repeatedly coming up short with what I thought was an upgrade kinda worries me. For the record, yes I was making sure to refresh my sting on CoTH and Set Bonus %Dmg Procs in order to keep my chimera shot hitting as hard as possible throughout.
Questions are...
Is the t9 bonus just too good to give up until I have 10.5+ or higher gear all around?
Will the 15% dmg proc scale that much greater in 10 and 25 man buffs that it outweighs the benefit of serpent stings critting?
Does serpent sting critting affect how hard chimera shot will land, or does it calculate the base dmg on the tooltip at any given point?
