2/3 taste for blood vs 3/3 taste for blood

Post by ande9249

I unfortunately do not have my warrior high enough yet to check this out on my own, but I was wondering if I could get your input on the benefits of getting 3/3 taste for blood.

We will assume that every good arms warrior has rend on their target at all times,

Then assume that Overpowers are good :)

Rend ticks every three seconds. and the internal cooldown on this source of overpower is 6 seconds.

With 3/3, this means that every 6 seconds you can hit overpower, with 2/3....it means you will likely be able to hit overpower every 6 seconds?

I guess my question is, is it worth the last point to garuntee, even when we all know in the back of our minds that half of all the procs are wasted?

Half the procs are wasted? If overpower procs and you can't hit it within 9 seconds, there's something wrong.

You lose 34% chance to use overpower, in my opinion, its one talent point, just spec for it.

not the 9 sec wait, but the "only will happen once every 6 seconds" when the damage comes every three

Regardless of the "every 6 seconds" clause, you will be losing out on Overpower procs. Yes, every other rend tick is "wasted" but there's really nothing you can do about it. If you don't fully spec it, 33% of the time that a rend ticks, you won't get an Overpower out of it. 3 seconds later, there's another 33% you don't get an Overpower out of it. That's going to end up dropping a LOT of Overpowers.
