2% threat vs 20 Spell dmg -- Glove enchant

I've picked up Leotheras after frizbee missed, and SoR resisted, by chugging down some sweet mana juice xD. 2% threat scales better, if you're raiding, take it.
_________________

2% threat is added to ALL attacks, magical, physical. Take your threat generated * .02 then add the output to your base threat. aka ((X * .02) + X) = Threat.

They become equivalent at +417 damage using your formula.
Edit: but this doesn't factor in the extra 2% from melee hits as well, so assuming this number is an accurate representation of the equivalence point for just Holy-based threat, the actual threshold will be a tad lower because of the extra from melee.

If they're equivalent (or close to it), I think you have to pick the +SD. Why? Because 2% threat only does threat. +SD does damage which causes threat. Doing more damage is a winner over doing more threat in my book, even if they're otherwise comparable.

I'd also use the .5TPS = 1SD rule. Using that, you get 10TPS, roughly. In order for 2% threat to be better than this, you need to have 500 TPS. That's fairly regularly doable. Still, we're talking about an improvement of 10 more TPS when you're at 1000 TPS. Would you rather have more damage at that level, or more threat? I'm not sure, but I suspect you'd rather have more damage.

Of course, if your DPS is threat-capped, 10 TPS = 10/.7*(# of DPS'ers) extra raid DPS, which I'd assume is greater than what you'd get from +20 dam. ...and I promise I don't go out of my way to contradict you kalbear, really

Here's a question for you math people 'cause I suck at math:

Holy shield generates an extra 35% and has a coefficient of 5%/block. 1.9*1.35=2.565*1.02 = 2.6163 threat per damage done for HS: At what point would the 2% threat overcome the 20 spell damage? I imagine innately it'd be pretty low.

A Paladin's fury is a quiet, solemn thing, ever a hair before the bloodlust of a Warrior or the ferocity of a beast. But it holds his foes just the same.

Same point of before.

It's quite interesting how my Spiritual Attunement can get aggro from Sanguinar on Kaelthas even if i don't touch him tho, sometimes generating more threat is not necessarily good ><

When I get better gloves, I plan on rocking 2% threat, but for now, I'm more than happy rocking an 8 stamina armor kit that cost 3 gold on my Justicar gloves~
