Bug Trio is a good spot to use it as well - yeah it's padding meters but still fun. You won't have imp EA on the secondary mobs. Just got badge so I'll be using it on our next speed run.

Hey bud, Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed! Yea for sure if you cleave them - I just mentioned a quick few bosses for examples :).

Hey dan, am happy to see your name popping everywhere as a streamer, wow classic content creator and a youtuber, after i hear how much armor reduction does especially in AQ40, the Annihilator question rise again, how good is it gonna be for the entire raid dps, if i sacrifice my dps and use it, with crul or DB as offhand, i really like to know more about it.

[@DamnboiTV]

Hey, thanks! Well if your raid is just using Sunders, FF & Cor it is a 5.5% dmg increase. If you are using improved exposed armor, FF + COR it is only 0.6% dmg increase. ¨ So if your raid does the last option its not worth it imo.

[@duysmith]

great vid as always bro so helpful

[@DamnboiTV]

Glad you think so!

[@318Arnie]

If you guys have the chance to get the "Vanquished Tentacle of C'Thun", you should take it. It can add up to 3% to your dmg in the Vaelastrasz encounter for example. Once activated you can swap back to HoJ and the Tentacle will stay.

[@makisofguldan2114]

Great video man keep it up! The real question though is... On a boss that has ~300ish armor left (aka everything but not expose armor) is that 6% dmg increase better than wielding HOJ or DFT? In other words... ES + HOJ in that situation is better than ES + Badge or not?

[@DamnboiTV]

Hey bud, Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed! Definitely - if you use fightclub sim and only have Sunder + FF + COR up on the target you will gain 14 dps in a one minute fight versus using HOJ. (336 armor left like showcased in the vid) And this is only single target - so with cleaving its gonna be even more. But im not sure fightclub calculates it correctly tho. I'd have to ask mr steppenwolf for some more precise data :) As always have a damn great day!

[@DamnboiTV]

[@stickyshifted]

OK So i got Badge, DF and ES to switch between. 2nd trinket slot is used for DFT. Guild does not have IEA. My question is, do you still recommend Badge? Also, how do you consider Badge compared to the other high end trinkets?

[@DamnboiTV]

Hey bud, Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed! Well I use Badge + ES on skeram, sartura, bug trio if cleave, and on twin emps. If you don't use IEA i'd defo try out badge in the end with your Death wish etc of each fight :) 6% dps increase is quite big.

[@vetu104]

I mean I do like 75% of my dmg during dw. Boost that 75% by 6% and you get a bigger dps upgrade than any other single piece of gear at least according to my calculations with my character. With my setup I think I would almost always wear badge over dft if not using iea.

Is there easy way to calculate the effect of this trinket from classiclogs? Or should I just assume it's 15% flat increase for the duration?

Hmm not really afaik. 15% flat depends on the already applied debuffs on the target. :)

Only if you use IEA :)

[@edgar42069]

Does this trinket have any use if you are dpsing with a BRE?

[@DamnboiTV]

Well - if you use the sheet you can easily calculate that. But bre is overdoing it is my quick and short answer - boss armor 3731 - 1200 - 2250 = 3450 aka ~300 left - so 6% dmg increase if thats the only debuffs (sunder + badge)

[@jimmydives1146]

On the fight club spreadsheet you did with stephenwolf, you show what the bosses armor would be with imp expose armor and sunder but this cannot be since improved exposed armor overwrite sunder and does not allow warriors to use sunder while improved expose armor is up on the target.

[@DamnboiTV]

Hey bud, What do you mean? I have not stated anywhere that we use both sunders and imp exposed :). I have made different setups with either sunder or imp exposed.

This is 1st a hunter trinket then warrior rogue. As hunters benefit the most from it. I am not bias and I have 2 rogues 1 warrior and a hunter. This is a hunter trinket. As a warrior REALLY what trinket am i swapping out? MY DFT? MY FLASK? MY HOJ? MY EARTHSTRIKE? I don't think so mate. A hunter trinket swapping will break 1k competing with warriors and rogues pre-P6

[@DamnboiTV]

I wouldn't say that no - hunters sure they benefit but dps wise warriors benefit way more to adding even more DPS to the raid by having this. You're using ES + badge for twins for instance, same for skeram etc.
