3/5 Reckoning vs 3/3 PoJ

[Snake-Aes]

we do separate mitigation from avoidance exactly because both are focused on a per-hit point of view.
Enough of this >.> I've already derailed too many threads today.

D: You were being a MoDer without me? /cry /wrists I feel so betrayed.

[Snake-Aes]

=( I couldn't stop thinking of you! That's why I stopped!

[Levantine]

*shiffle*

I suppose that's alright. :<

I had to say Neither was the best choice.

POJ is nice, wish I could squeeze it into my build, Reckoning was great for leveling and fun with AOE trash.

But while still only MTing Kara level I specced into Imp. seal of the crusader. (my guild does not have a Retadin)
If we get a Retadin I will probably switch to the normal Improved Judgement spec for more personal threat.

Maybe a different spec will be more useful than what I have seen so far once we progress a bit more...

I like Reckoning. A lot. Wish I didn't have to take Precision, then I could spec back to 5/5.

just curious as ive been pretty late in accepting this whole reckoning comeback scenario. the parry gibbing scenario has basically been dismissed as of late, is there any theorycrafting or logs to back this up? i've been considering going back to reckoning, as my spell dmg in conjunction with the 2.3 libram, is up now where i can see it being a good boost to my single target tps. And ive always known it'd be nice to have in 5mans if im grouped with tier6 dps. It just seemed like the chance of burst dps on myself (i cant really stack much expertise into my gear currently) , though low, wasnt worth the risk of death. Is there some objective proof that the actual increase in spike dmg is negligible?

[Levantine]

Parry gib was more of an excuse to drop Reckoning before anything else, rather than an actual threat to tank life (except in specific encounters a la Prince phase 2 or pre nerf Shahraz)

I don't bother with reckoning, its for threat and I never have any problems holding agro unless its a crit based pvp noob standing behind me. They could learn from a few deaths anyway. I use poj now becuase any extra avoidance of spell dmg is a perk imo, but I do tend to wonder about dropping it for shield specialization. Still arguing this one over with the voices in my head
