Recently got the Duplicitous guise from Kil jaeden, vendoring my wolfshead helm after 2 years. Did one raid with the new helmet and the damage is sure higher, the different rotation and energy gains takes a little to get used to, even without the powershifting helmet got high parses on SWP, even getting 2nd on KJ, doing 200 more dps then my previous logs with wolfshed. I dont think is the optimal move to do, but sure is funner and my character looks way cooler.
Any other cats not using the blue helmet? I wonder if using cursed vision or changing gear to use t6 helmet would offer the same results, seeing that KJ helm is bis even for rogues
Surprised you even got priority on the helm unless you've seen it a couple times. Guess it just depends on what items you have, that's a big jump in hit rating.
I've been using Cursed Vision since ZA phase and have nearly BIS SWP gear currently and Wolfshead still sims better by about 30 dps for me but I use Cursed Vision anyway. I haven't tested WHH outside of the simulator though but I will swap to it in longer fights if mana is going to be an issue.
edit: I did however get rank 1 on Brutallus using Cursed Vision. The actual dps difference is negligible.
