Am I wrong to love Darkmoon Card: Death?Follow

#1 May 12 2009 at 9:31 AM Rating: Decent
So I've been trying to upgrade as much as possible(down to 1 blue, but epics are all mediocre upgrades that I can access) and I am having trouble letting go of my trinket.

I'm Frost "main spec"(solo and crappy heroic group setup) and Arcane "offspec"(raiding and talented group setup).

Now the card, here is pretty fabulous. 85 Crit and occasional 1750-2250 shadow damage(which, btw, can crit).

The proc rate is pretty darn high. Now as Arcane the benefit is a little lower except my Crit is pretty high. It's nice seeing the occasional 4k extra off a single Missile from AM or a random even 2k tacked on to AB.

The bigger joy, is as Frost dropping a Blizz is ridiculous. Every few seconds I'll see 1k-4k pop up in addition to Blizz damage.

As Arcane in a single VH, I did 69k dmg JUST from Card(used Flamestrike->Blizz on squads, usual AB,AB,AB->ABar on keepers/bosses).

This makes me wonder if there are any trinkets really worth swapping it for. Right now I sit at around 1800SP unbuffed(sig is based on Frost) and with raid buffs and a trinket proc I can break 3.1k but my Haste/Hit suck. Don't have numbers offhand since, again, Arcane and Frost are very different, but I can tell you hit is <200 and Haste is <300. Problem is Hit is not an issue. I rarely, if ever, miss as is. I find it hard to justify less crit or SP to get more Hit, and Haste is nice but rarely comes without taking a HUGE crit drop.(T7.5 pants give haste but I lose 89 crit.. other stats are same.)

So I have to wonder, am I okay just keeping Death?

Are you sure? That trinket is supposed to have a 45 second internal cooldown.

I would ditch it for something else, personally. You only need to be able to pull 3-3.5K DpS for the Darkmoon Card: Greatness to be equal or better.

45sec? I can't see that being true O.o maybe I am deceived then.

As for Greatness, I can't ever justify spending 15k for a single slot. So many other things to buy lol D:

Yeah pretty much all (if not all) proc-based trinkets are based on 45second internal cooldowns. The card really isn't that good at all.

oh, and the link you put was just the picture of the icon for it Smiley: wink

They may have changed it recently, but that is what WoWHead reports.

There are plenty of other trinkets you could get, and I'm sure there are ones with haste.

[EDIT]

Anobix, when I went to EJ to try and find a DpS parse of trinkets, I noticed you in a thread.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

I didn't find a thread though.

Well that sucks. Thanks for responses. I guess I should just get one of those trinkets with 110SP then?
