Anyone else not stoked on swapping 4 piece T15 for 4 piece T16?
I feel like the T16 bonus is trash in comparison to T15.
Even if there's some AOE in a handful of SoO fights it doesn't seem to be worthwhile to use pretty much ever?
Why the hell would Blizz give us an amazing T15 4-piece to only make T16 crap? So many other classes have excellent 4-piece T16 bonus in comparison to Retribution.
I feel like it is going to greatly impact our DPS considering that in T15, Retribution has been top tier DPS and moving forward to T16; I feel like Ret is going to be on the backburner again due to a severely weak 4-piece T16 bonus.
In the company of thieves, liars, beggars and whores
I'll lay waiting, just waiting for my time to come.
I play 4 classes and are not thrilled about any of the 4-set bonuses. I wonder where your PoV is coming from when you state that Ret DPS will be low because of set bonuses.
I doubt anyone here is qualified to calculate the random factor of one boss with the random factor of being in range for HotR and the random factor of DP and random factor of T16 4set. If there was anyone that could do that then they wouldn't bother doing it because it's simply not worth the time, Simc is used for statweights, "caps" (haste, crit and whatever) and you can also determine when X stat has lower value than X stat.
Everyone can do whatever they want, after around 40% unbuffed haste I'm going mastery. With higher ilvl weps it's much, much stronger. Disagree? well you got that right. You can also chose not to believe that man went to the moon.

well no, you chose to listen to whoever you want. If you disagree go do your own testing and come to your own conclusion, what's with the fucking hate on the frequent posters...

T16 4set is situational at best, I doubt I'll swap until I have a full 4set T16 heroic ready.

the 4set is great, sometimes. other times it doesn't do anything...
Mind you that's exactly how T15 4set works, only when T15 4set works it does big single target damage and T16 proc increases aoe by a lot. So if you're not on a aoe fight it doesn't do as much as the T15 4set will do. + CD reducing trinket + SW + T15 4set means you'll throw out so many templars verdicts it's crazy...

So what trinkets should I use tomorrow? I have a 543 feather, 530 spark, 530 brutal talisman and 522 primo.
Not that anyone will probably be using the spark, but my 543 spark is only giving 129 strength when it procs anyway. Not sure if the other I-level ones are screwed up.
Spark now stacks really ( REALLY ) fast.
So it's not too bad.
but Talisman is up on pull, both are good options and still shit compared with SoO trinkets.
So you can exe sentence and still have a fluid rotation, no more slow gcd
edit: also htf spark is fucking up.

[22:04:20.636] Josh Templar's Verdict Lei Shen *825815*
So would 510 upgraded LFR 4 piece be worth keeping over, say 535 timeless isle gear? How about Flex/Normal SoO gear?
Weird, in the dungeon journal Hellscream's Decapitator is listed as 8 item levels higher than the rest of the 2 handed weapons, so shouldn't we go for that over Thok's Polearm, even though it has crit, weapon damage would be a lot higher so it'd be more desirable for us, please correct me if i'm wrong.
Is the ICD for our valor trinket 85 seconds or 75? Most of the previous posts mention 75 ICD but the tooltip mentions 85. Last minute change?
Was fortunate enough to nab a Warforged Evil Eye of Galakras last night, boy what a difference. I had actually paired it with Prim Trinket and was top DPS on both Iron Jugg & Dark Shams in my guild 25 man. Absolutely awesome trinket, ton of fun with Wings popping up ~20s earlier and roughly the same with Guardian. I'll flip Talisman to Feather tonight and see how that works out, just kind of liked the "constant uptime" feel (albeit at times maybe with only 1 stack) of Prim.
Have to admit it felt dirty gemming Wicked Verm in all red slots.
Sure felt nice downing some new content.
Have someone information about Ret pal for Paragon of Klaxxi? (Midwinter?!)
I was wondering if warforged fusion fire core is better than normal TF spark.
I'd say so, yes. Especially with a decent number of fights having adds to cleave.
I don't know what's up with prim's, but it's been stacking 3-5 very often and I even had about 50 seconds of a 5 stack going on norushen(not to mention all the other 4 stacks). Feels like it's proccing more than it was before 5.4
Agree 100% regarding Prim's. It just "felt" like it was up constantly, I'll have to go back and read the napkin math closer in regard to HTF Feather > HTF Prim b/c I felt the opposite was happening with Feather. Seemed like 5.3 with a proc at the pull, but then (seemingly) nada afterward.
- - - Updated - - -
I did - I was going back and forth between Feather & Prim's. It was weird man, I felt like I was getting nearly NO uptime from it, but insane uptime from Prim's! Granted ~5 pulls is probably a bad sample size, but I'll be giving Feather more of a chance tonight.
Got an Eye too 1:25 Wing CD. Yum yum yum. Doing split groups or else raid would almost be cleared out see what Shamans - Thok drop tonight. hopefully see a weapon and a 2nd trinket.
Yea managed to get an Eye of Galakras also using it with Primo atm. What do you guys think about this Head piece I received from Ordos
