    ES snapshots on cast and does not refresh. It does not benefit from haste regarding ticks.
    Censure and GoAK refresh their power with our procs, haste etc..

    I don't know about Light's hammer for sure but I've always assumed it worked like ES.

    I currently have Lei Shen's Final Orders (489, 0/2) and Relic of Xuen (476, 0/2). I also have Bonded Soul Bracers (489, 0/2). I'm wondering which rep piece to get. Should I opt for the VP trinket or wrist? If trinket, which should I replace?

    Actually no, it doesn't.

    I would recommend the VP trinket over the VP bracers. And then replace Relic of Xuen with the VP trinket according to this guide.

    Again, this is my recommendation.

    If they fixed the rppm for primordius so that you can actually maintain stacks, then that definitely. Even if they didnt its still probably better.

    I am still feeling like I do more damage with normal Lei Shen than with normal Spark. The fact that it doesn't line up with CDs virtually ever explains its lackluster performance as far as I can tell. If anyone is feeling like they're getting good use out of it, how? Also, is there any definitive math on the new trinkets? To be honest, I'm not sure that I trust the current sim profile for them.

    this is because it isnt lining up with your initial cooldowns. Lei shen's will but aside from that, it doesnt line up with subsequent CDs any better than spark. My suggestion is to get either the valor trinket or a Ji-kun's to be active with your CDs on pull.

    Does anyone know if ji-kun's or the valor trinket typically will proc at the pull?

    Are you tracking procs/stacks? You can generally get some big ES casts with it. I feel like it's a great trinket outside of the pull.

    Ye I agree with Revvo, apart from pull it's a really good trinket and the stats on it is attractive unlike some of the other trinkets available. In raids I'm at 42% haste and I get 10 stacks every 70-90 seconds outside of heroism (on average), the annoying thing is the fact that it is relativly random and thus making it harder to use. If you then throw on Ji-Kun trinket (which I don't have atm) it can become a hard task to get a full use of our abilities BUT if you manage to use them to their potential the reward should produce some truly godly numbers! atleast compared to other rets, I've given up trying to compete with other classes this tier.

    I am 99% sure that any and all boss items are attainable both in 10 and 25 player difficulty.

    I tend to disagree with that - although it has an ICD of 45s, on a lot of fights downtime will cause it to proc about every minute. Spark's proc is completely unpredictable, and even if you see that its at 8 stacks, you never know whether it'll get to 10 in 5 more seconds (totally worth holding CDs) or 30 (often not worth doing so). Obviously Spark's RNG swings to much higher dps, but consistent (and predictable) dps is far more important in my experience. I'd love to use the valor trinket but I'm already over expertise cap and unable to reforge lower. Ji'kun's hasn't dropped but even it won't be very strong for me personally given the reason below.

    The valor trinket procs quite quickly as far as I'm aware.

    I tend to use holy prism and selfless healer to help heal, since I am the 3rd healer in our group normally and the healing can be strained when I'm ret.

    So whats the best usage of Execution Sentence under the Ji-kun trinket?
    So far ive been using ES just after poping wings, and after getting the jikun trinket im wondering if its worth delaying ES and try to cast it within the last 2 seconds of the buff?

    Of course that's what you should do, especially when you have Guardian and a Potion on.

    anyone know if there is a gear comparison thread somewhere that shows the avg dps increase from 5.1 to 5.2 gear based on slot. Would love to know how 5.1 trinkets hold up against normal/heroic 5.2 trinkets in particular
