<<<<DoT Benfit from Crit>>>>

[Kreightive]

My Question is do DoT's benefit from having more "Crit rating" from gear because of the talents or is more benefit to stack pure spellpower?
The reason i ask is ive been starting to pvp again as Affliction and there are sets with like the Dominace and slavation, boot's/bracers and waist. Now the Dominance have crit and Salvation have spirt witch being affliction looks pretty good having more spirt.
So im woundering if anyone can give me some good info on both of the sets and me going Affliction witch would be better to go with. Thanks

Buy hit neck and hit cape and hit ring get dominance everything else

Better or not, I like the fact that my damage fro DoTs is spiking with crits. IF it didnt crit my dots would do a constant flat amount of damage which makes it quite predictable in arenas.

DoT's and fears missing causes losses in arena.

You need at least 3% hit. Period.

[Wartide]

4% for casters

6% for Racials

8-10% for Talents

Gear for 6%, if you lose a match because of another 4% then chalk it up as being unlucky rather than "omg moar hit"

And get 130 spell pen.

I thought talents and racials couldn't be countered by improved hit rating.

Oh, snap. Didn't know that. Interesting. Thanks.

Why even bother getting 130 spell pen then? count the resists and partial resists "as being unlucky ether than omg moar pen"

This is just my experience with PVE talking, so I don't know how often a miss hurts in PVP, but the numbers say 2% to miss works out to 150-200dps whereas 130 Shadow Resistance knocks off up to 25% of your total output. That said, I know you can't do numbers in PVP. Your thoughts?

Get a fear resist vs. a melee and tell me how much it hurts.

More or less, or a fear missing right when your partner needs you to peel.

For PvP you want to take out as much RNG as you can.

It doesn't hurt.
You don't feel pain when you are dead.
