Hey Guys,

Pretty good trinket ranking below. Take this with a grain of salt though, as it will still be depenedant on your gear somewhat.

Rewriting the old post updated with new scalefactors, I'll use 2 different value models for hit. The first one being as I did in the last post (1 hit = 1 dps, because you'll overcap hit a lot by valueing it higher), the second value being the gem conversion rate (If you have an amount of hit on your trinket, you can remove hit gems and replace them with spellpower gems, therefor the value of hit on trinkets can be said to be roughly [hit/20*23*Spellpower scale factor] if you need hit rating.

Formule: Castfrequency / Proc chance = Time to proc.
25% proc chance with a 1.5s cast frequency means 6 seconds to proc after cooldown is up.
15% proc chance with a 1.5s cast frequency means 10 seconds to proc after cooldown is up.
10% proc chance with a 1.5s cast frequency means 15 seconds to proc after cooldown is up.

Internal CD = 45s.
Benefit from proc = Proc / (Internal CD + Time to proc) * Proc Duration

Average haste gain throughout the proc of Fetish of Volatile power shown here, the ilvl 245 version would be /57*64.

Scale factors (as of 02/09/09):


Warlock_T8_00_13_58 Sta=0.00 Int=0.31 Spi=1.02 SP=1.59 Crit=0.82 Haste=1.10SP/Haste/Hit/Crit = How much of that stat you gain averaged out over long fight.
Proc = Proc chance
DPS = Dps value of the trinket assuming 1 hit = 1 dps, explanation for this above.
DPSg = Dps value of the trinket according to the gem stat conversion value also explained above.

Important note: These scale factors are taken from the simulationcraft thread, and are (more or less) accurate for the gear used in those tests. You will have different gear from the gear used there, and as a result you will have different scale factors. This list will give you a general idea of the value of each trinket averaged out over an infinite length patchwerk fight- but you should not use this list as what would be best for you on every single fight in the game. Run the scale factors application of simulationcraft for yourself to get a better idea of what the value of trinkets would be for you.

The value for Reign of the Dead should also not be considered set in stone. It is unquestionably an amazing trinket, but until we have more information about how exactly the proc works- consider that it might not be 100% accurate. Simulationcraft values the proc at 224 DPS, we'll use that figure. This figure is the heroic version, so we need to reduce that to get the ilvl 245 damage. This reduction is done by taking the damage, *((1741+2023)/2)/((1959+2275)/2)=199.1 dps
