re: Feral DPS Stats

For anyone interested... I wanted to confirm what the theory crafters have been saying. I noticed a few of you have a decent amount of hit and expertise. While having a smoother rotation is certainly easier, it's not necessarily the best DPS.

My gear is straight Mastery and Crit. If it has haste, hit, or expertise it is reforged to mastery or crit (when mastery is already present). Currently after setting my gear up that way I have 402 hit (+3.35%) and 0 expertise.

I did a bunch of tests on the practice dummy just now... every test was 5 minutes long, unbuffed, and contained 2 berserks (started with Faerie Fire and ended when it wore off).

First were 3 tests with my gear as is.
12910
13026
12986
= average dps of 12974


I then undid all of the hit reforging I had done and then started moving all of the haste to hit that I could. After running out of haste I finished up with crit -> hit to get as close to the cap as I could. I then reforged all the remaining crit that I could to get as much expertise as I could. I think I ended up with about 13 expertise.

I ran 3 tests with that setup...
12414
12621
12389
= average dps of 12474


I then got rid of all my expertise and left myself hit capped...
12176
12147
12189
= average dps of 12170

So the theory crafters are right and everyone should be ignoring hit and expertise and should be reforging anything they have to crit/mastery.

(Note that with the patch they are saying haste could be better than crit.)

I've been following Rawr pretty closely and its been suggesting mastery and crit over everything else.

At one point in the past though it was suggesting me to go towards haste instead of crit...so I had to fix everything.

The majority of my hit/exp items (like my trinkets) are pretty much because I had nothing else to put there

Just make sure you're reforging what you can of it, that's all.

There is no meta dispute.

They will put a real one in on Tuesday. Get it.

As for right now, buy the cheapest one that gets you a socket bonus.
