Akirohome Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 why so low alacrity thought 1200 would be a good spot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLazarillo Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 why so low alacrity thought 1200 would be a good spot ? Essentially, for melee DPS, Alacrity is only really beneficial at certain thresholds. You can only shave off attack time in .1 second increments, and the game rounds up. So you need either enough Alacrity to get yourself down to 1.39 (makes all your attacks take 1.4 seconds) or 1.29 (makes them take 1.3 seconds). Those thresholds are at, IIRC, ~710 Alacrity or ~1860 Alacrity. Being at 1200, you've got around 500 points that are getting "wasted" because they don't let you attack any faster.

JLazarillo Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 thanks for the explanation was a huge help No problem. I should probably also add that this only applies to classes that use the GCD for their attacks. On a ranged damage class, Alacrity still works in small increments, and so it is much more useful to balance stats a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli_Porter Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) 9/10 of the Vengeance Juggs top 10 parse list have a high alacrity build, but one of them is using a low alacrity build. This means a low alacrity build can match up to high alacrity while having better burst and PvP viability (since high alacrity is pretty bad in PvP). So I personally went with low alacrity on my Vengeance Juggernaut and Vigilance Guardian. It also works better with Focus/Rage because you want to maximize your burst.
