Gear choices; weighing the different factors

[Ferous]

<p>Ignoring diminishing return levels, etc., how would you all equate the various equipment attributes? Here is my quick stab at it just by "feel". I dont have any parses or anything to scientifically support it; I am just trying to get the ball rolling for others who probably do!</p><p>HP 100</p><p>Power 50</p><p>Str 25</p><p>Sta 25</p><p>Agi 25</p><p>Dbl Atk 2</p><p>Melee Crit 1</p><p>DPS 15</p><p>Atk Spd 3</p><p>CA  35</p><p>DR  3</p><p>Proc 450 dmg (2.0 times per minute)</p><p>Feel free to add any other bonuses. I dont have a good feeling at all for things like "runic barrier" and "heal procs" but they may be nice to add.</p>

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you showing the stats on a piece of gear? If so, what are you weighing it against?Is your goal DPS? Tanking? Soloing? Grouping? Raiding?

In other words, if I am deciding between two pieces of equipment and one has 25 CA and one has 1 melee crit, I would go with the melee crit (using the ratio I threw out there earlier). But if it was 45 CA versus 1 melee crit, I would go CA. Make sense? The numbers I threw out there make them all "equal" (ie, 35 CA = 1 melee crit = 2 DA, etc). I was trying to ignore things like diminishing returns, DPS or Tank spec, etc., and just doing it "in general". But maybe it would be easier to separate "tank" from "dps":</p><p>Str - 25</p><p>Dbl Atk - 2</p><p>Melee Crit - 1</p><p>DPS - 15</p><p>Atk Spd - 3</p><p>CA  - 35</p><p>DR  - 3</p><p>Dmg Proc - 450 (2.0 times per minute)</p><p>----------------------------------------------------</p><p>HP - 100</p><p>Power - 50</p><p>Sta - 25</p><p>Agi - 25</p><p>Ward/Lifetap proc - 200 (2.0 times per minute)</p>

Ahh, I see. Those are great questions and I also find myself with backpacks full of gear with things like (+2 melee crit) versus (+2 haste and +2 dbl atk) I have no idea currently which helps more. I have ACT running at home, so I'll have to check on that myself, but if someone has run these numbers before please let us know.
