Comments on: Let’s Talk About Socket Bonuses http://oneroguesjourney.com/2009/08/27/lets-talk-about-socket-bonuses/ One Rogue's Journey Through Life, but Mostly Video Games Thu, 12 May 2011 05:01:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tommy http://oneroguesjourney.com/2009/08/27/lets-talk-about-socket-bonuses/comment-page-1/#comment-840 Tommy Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:55:55 +0000 http://oneroguesjourney.com/?p=924#comment-840 CANT DPS IF YOU DIE. Let me clarify, Being dumb and taking a direct hit via whirlwind or standing in fire ='s dead reguardless of how much stam you have. But, if for some reason your taking damage that you cant avoid and you cant wait for that next heal commin your way then extra stam will show value. Fights dont always go perfect. Healers do get distracted sometimes, or lag. CANT DPS IF YOU DIE. Let me clarify, Being dumb and taking a direct hit via whirlwind or standing in fire =’s dead reguardless of how much stam you have.

In your 1st example pure dps stats do come out ahead if you skip the bonus. But, nobody factors in poor little stamina ;( You gotta give stam at least a tiny bit of credit. Sometimes that extra stam you get from your purple gems can be valuable and play a factor. Even the best rogues flirt with death sometimes before getting that nice heal. Yea.

So for the first Blue slot you're looking at filling in your example of +20 AP and .24% Crit Chance vs +12 AP and .21% Crit change above actually would ammount to +20 AP and .24% Crit Chance vs +22 AP and .21% Crit change or .24Crit vs .21 crit and 2AP (and given that you need 1 Blue gem to activate the meta...)
