My crit and surge isn't as high as you show but are you taking into account other talents or buffs that may affect things? Is the relic boosted by buffs/talents/procs/abilities?

Your sim was naked vs. proc relic which also removes the augment from the proc relic thus costing you an extra 18 willpower. If I run it with a dummy relic with 18 willpower the sim dropped by the expected 40 DPS of the proc relic. If I add 113 willpower it rises by 39 DPS putting 2x war hero lower than war hero + proc by 1 DPS.

Perhaps the issue is that the .42 number is based on pre-1.3 armor reduction numbers.....runs to check that.....Bingo that's it. Using the previous build of simC power is indeed worth around .4 DPS (possibly slightly lower as your gear isn't quite optimal), whereas in the current build it's worth ~.33-.34 on your build.

That decrease seems in line with the change in armor reduction buffs. We now live in a world capped at 20% reduction which makes internal damage more valuable than it was 2 weeks ago
