4pc T5 set bonus...0/21/40...corr worth casting?

With the T5 4piece set bonus
SB causes Corruption damage to increase by 3%
Incin causes Immo damage to increase by 3%

Even though its not improved...is the 3% worth casting as a 0/21/04 spec?

anyone do the #'s yet?

If you don't find corruption to be worth casting before the 4/4 you probably wont find it worth casting afterwards. I have the bonus, and though it got buffed last patch to 10%, it really doesn't seem to be adding a huge amount to each tick.

Before patch, solo and self buffed with CoS as my curse each SB increased my Corruption ticks by about 7. Since patch that has been increased a lot to around 15-20, however in the end the total damage gained probably woudln't be enough to get the "no corruption because it cant crit" mindset to go away.

Best suggestion would be to take you Ave SB hit over a night of raiding, and compare it to a full duration Corruption with as many SB as you can pack in and compare the 2. Keep in mind that corruption is .5 seconds less cast time so you need to check the DPCT not total damage.

If 4/4 T5 imp Corr/2 >= average SB damage/2.5 then it is possibly worth it, however more than personal DPS the roll of the 21/40 shadow lock is to keep Imp SB proc up as often as possible, even having it drop for a second will decrease raid DPS more than you may ever gain from using corruption to take advantage of the T5 set bonus.

Sorry I don't have any solid numbers, but off the top of my head thats how I would figure it out.
