AF3 +2 5/5 set

[Rampage]

Has anyone figured out what the proc rate is for the 5/5 set is? There was allot of speculation if the 5/5 would give an added boost over just adding a single piece of equipment. The only info i have found where it seems someone has actually tested it is with the 3/5 where the proc rate seems to be 1 - 2%

5% it is crap.

Absolute garbage. Stick to haste cap, and use your remaining af3 for WS Swaps if need be.

however, if you have an apoc using the entire set with a haste belt(preferably goading) will keep you at cap and you get a nice free damage boost(yes not that much, but it happens more frequently than you'd expect, at least it does for me)

/facepalm

Come on man that is terrible advice. AF3+2 5/5 is never worth it, esp not with an Apoc. I feel like I'm always responding to your post in a negative manner, but you continue to post information that is not even close to the truth and might steer people with serious questions in the wrong direction.


5/5 is an 8-9% loss in DPS compared to all the other options and that includes the set bonus. If ACC comes into play like in VW its a 13%+ drop in DPS.

Don't use 5/5 ever, unless you want a pretty SS.

This statement is bad advice please ignore.

Would any of you use Grim +1 over twilight for Resolution on tier III jeuno mobs or new content where we arent so hard up for acc as an example or do you think its just too much hastle to have more than one set for resolution?

This is really not good advice.

2 sets or more are smart to have.

I have 4 different macro sets for DRK all on the same book so I can cycle between them on the fly if needed.

@taint I only use full af3+2 when i have the Catastrophe aftermath up(because it's 10% GEAR haste) which means the haste you're getting from your legs and feet are useless, and i only use cata to heal myself if i need it, otherwise I do use a full haste set. i don't see how you think this is bad, just do normal WSs(entropy/guillotine) until you need to heal yourself and the WHms aren't focusing on you(which for me is a llot, and I also like to not be a burden on them) so that extra 10% haste that I'm getting I don't want to go to waste. So just for extra damage I have an aftermath set.

I hope people actually think these things through lol... I shouldn't have to explain these concepts. I didn't say Always and Forever fulltime af3+2 set, but seeing as i said Apoc you probably sometimes use Catastrophe, which means youre getting free 10% haste at least some of the time, and you really should take advantage of that.

and my faith in humanity slips even further, I thank you.
