Languish by the numbers
by Sunfyre on Feb.12, 2010, under Gear Discussion
I know there’s been some people claiming that Languish is not that much of an upgrade from 4pc T9. The following is a screenshot of a 10man Saurfang kill I did right after getting 4pc, and you can see that it clearly is an upgrade.
Let’s assume a 60% crit rate on Moonfire, which I think is actually a little on the high side, even given [Improved Moonfire]. Moonfire did 127973 damage. If 60 percent of them crit and did double damage, 127973*1.60*1.03(meta gem) = 210899.504 damage.
Now, Languish did 108132 damage. 127973+108132=236105 damage. That’s a 11% boost in damage over 2PC T9, and that’s giving Moonfire a very generous crit rate. Giving a 55 percent crit rate, and 204308 damage, you’re looking at a 14% boost.
I don’t theorycraft often, so feel free to double check my math.

Latest on Thu, 09:38 pm: They just updated the 4pc T13 again. 10% Bonus damage and 5 seconds reduced CD.
: Btw, it's not worth it to acctually refresh your dot when it proc...just play as if it's a normal weap... The 2,5 sec you loose refreshing your dot could have been used to get more eclipse utpime and thus benefiting from Nature's grace, which is more important.
: It pretty much averages out to 300 haste all the time, which isnt bad, but you're right it's hard to predict when it'll proc and casting dots accordingly. I feel the extra haste to the raid is worth it though.
: our 4 set bonus has been changed to 10% increased starsurge dmg
: Buffing T13 4 piece set bonus! Yay we can finally use our new tier set.
