Hey,
so basicly the idea for this thread came up from a discussion smilkovpetko and I had in a different thread.
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=39906&start=10
I said that I believe Thunderfury + SotC would outperform Lok'Amir + SoR in terms of maximum threat.
Since threat is mostly an issue in an raid environment I'll compare both weapons while assuming a full raid buffed and consumable stacked paladin. Also I'll asume that he is wearing tank-gear which basicly consist of def/stam/avoidance. So no Spellpower or physical increasing stats like crit or hit.
What abilities will I include in this comparison:
White Swings
Consecration
Holy Shield
SoR
JoR
I will not include Exorcism since there are currently no bosses where it can be used. Also I will not include Hammer of Wrath as a character can not avoid (parry/Dodge/block) while casting spells which makes it a bad idea to use while tanking.
So lets get startet:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Thunderfury:
53.9 DPS , 1,9 AS and a 25% chance to deal 300 Nature Dmg on Hit + Adding Debuffs (NR and ASreduce)
Lok'Amir:
41,9 DPS, 2,1 AS and 84 Spellpower
--------------------------------------------------------------
Lok'Amir and SoR
Consecration: 84SP/24 = 3,5 Dmg/s = 3,5 * 1,9 = 6,65 Threat/s
SoR:(84SP+Flask+Oil)= 270SP / 10 = 27Dmg added = 51,3 ThreatPerSwing = 51,3/ 2,1AS = 24,43 Threat/s
Holy Shield: 84SP = 4Dmg (provided by smilkovpetko) = 10 Threat per Block = 2,5 Threat/s (Since most bosses have a 2 sec swing timer and block chance is ~50% with holy shield up)
JoR: 84SP = 42 Dmg (provided by smilkovpetko) = 135Dmg (which flask+oil) / 8 = 16,88 Threat/s
Since SoR will deal its basic dmg anyway we also have to add another ~40Dmg = 76 Threat = 36,19 Threat/s
This sums up to 86,60 Threat/s.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thunderfury + SotC
Consecration: 306AP/24 = 12,75 Dmg/s = 12,75 * 1,9 = 24,225 Threat/s
White Hits: 12DPS(difference) + 306AP = 33,86 DPS * 1,4 (Attack Speed Buff) = 47,39 DPS (neglecting Attack Speed Bonus to BaseStats and Buffs) = ~33 DPS after Boss armor = 33 Threat/s
Thunderfury Procc: 550 * 0,25 (Procc Chance) * 1/1,3571 (Attack Speed with Sotc) = 101,32 Threat/s
A Thunderfury procc generates roughly 550 Threat for a Paladin ( http://forums.elitistjerks.com/forums/t ... eneration/ ).
This sums up to 158,545 Threat/s.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay so after seeing this numbers I think even with Exorcism Thunderfury would outperform Lok'Amir. Yet this is heavily influenced by the fact that Sotc (not reducing dmg) and Consecration (scaling with AP) are bugged.
