Now you can sit and throw numbers and math out all day long, but there are two things to take into consideration. 1) There is no way to quantify any math on Thunder + TCIII procs, because there are just too many possibilities. 2) It really does all depend strictly on the situation. Math does not take into consideration what Firestarter does by refreshing AF. Also movement plays a big factor. Especially in extremely long duration movement sections where having thunder ticking would be much more beneficial because of the % of additional procs during that movement, I would always recommend Sharp > T1 in that scenario.


Using Thunder > B4 > Fire III > TC proc > is definitely not optimal if you are sacrificing a Fire IV. Which isn't as much an issue now since our SS is so much higher. Yes, we know for certain that a TC proc with one tick is a higher PPS than Fire IV. That's also not the whole scenario because you can't just compare PPS against 1 spell vs another because of clipping on both ends. You have to take the PPS of the whole rotation which is where things get really tricky, because like I said before, you can't predict additional procs and when they will happen.

Regardless, its good to see you back. And btw, not sure if you've seen this. Take a look and let me know if you have any insight.
