Spells and procs in 3.3
I did some number crunching since 3.3 is coming. I was very interested to see the way things worked out, specifically with the changes to Molten Core. I picked a few cookie cutter builds to look at and do comparisons with: Talent Calculator (0/13/58) Talent Calculator (0/56/15) Talent Calculator (0/41/30) Talent Calculator (55/1/15) I checked against procs of Molten Core and Decimation (Obviously only where applicable) and compared these between Patch 3.2.2 and Patch 3.3. My goal was to investigate whether it will be worth it to switch to Incinerate during Molten Core procs for deep Demo. I found that it is worthwhile to switch, as one would expect. But there was one big suprise -- from 0/41/30. If you have much more than 1700 spellpower (and who doesn't these days), Decimation might be a wasted talent point for you. The spellpower cutoff is 1753 to be precise. The assumptions were 5/5 Bane, 5/5 Emberstorm, and the Incinerate Glyph. The cincher here is the nerf to Decimation haste. The current proc gives you 60% haste, where the new one drops it to 40%. To be fair though, Soul Fire does surpass Incinerate IF you take into account the higher crit rate from Molten Core. I hate counting on crit to make a talent worth it, but there isn't much you could trade it with. Maybe 4% crit for you and your demon? Source: SB vs Inc vs SF
