Sorcerer DPS BIS discussion

[Kaedis]

Quote:Although I believe it's true when we're talking about large levels of gear differences (ie, higher teirs shouldn't have *less* than 220 alacrity) I don't think it's a 100% hard and fast rule given that crit increases the relative value of surge faster than it increases the relative value of the other stats.

Increasing your budget by 1 and adding that to crit might actually increase the overall value of surge and mean that taking 1 point from alacrity and adding it to surge might cause an increase in DPS.


Granted, like I said, we're limited in our choices for stat balances, and the increases between tiers are usually significant so I believe you're still right in saying that in future sets alacrity won't be less than 220, surge won't be less than 330, crit won't be less than 275 and power won't be less than 550.

Mmm, fair point, I was taking it as a given that our step size was of appreciable magnitude.
