Reinventing Durambar

[Concillian]

Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding was that rampage was not "refreshable" in that you would have to build it up every time you used it. I have generally assumed that this would not be a very big deal, though it is some slight improvement in damage (estimated 1% increase or so).

It is refreshable. If you recast it before it's duration has run out you maintain the 5 stack. It is somewhat painful to keep refreshed because of the short duration and the requirement to crit combined.

I think the assumption on being a slight damage improvement is not in any way correct though. On bosses it's a large improvement, as you can keep the +250 pretty consistently. +250 AP is something like 7-10% DPS improvment depending on what your current AP is. It's really a huge buff.

If you just think in terms of itemization, 250 AP = 125 crit rating =~ 5.6% crit... and Fury warriors get more from AP than crit due to Bloodthirst scaling better with AP than anything else.

Add to that that you lose precision, another 45 itemization points lost, and 41 / 20 has a pretty significant DPS advantage.
