Alas the perpetual stupidity has motivated me to explain this to you noobs.
Oh, thanks.

Let's do the simple math shall we?
Let's.
Quote
Assuming you have maxed Cyclone Armor, Twister, Nado, and Hurrican and only wear this helmet...
Why on Earth are we using an (almost) naked Druid as a realistic stat comparison?
Quote
Now Let us Apply the PvP Penalty:
2796/6 = 466 vs. 2156/6 = 359
What is the difference Between 4 Skill Points then?
466 - 359 = 107 Dmg (you will find that this is a constant)[/CENTER]
Tornado hits several times. (But you probably didn't know that.)

Let Us Now Look at how this effects Oak Sage
A Level 20 Oak Sage = 125% Life
A Level 22 Oak Sage = 135% Life
So What Happens if you have 1000 Base Life?
Level 20 Oak Sage would give you: 1000 x 1.25 = 1250
Level 22 Oak Sage would give you: 1000 x 1.35 = 1350
1350 - 1250 = 100Why are we using a 1k life Druid? Poor stats for a comparison.
Quote
What does this mean?
This means that you have 100 Less Life using a 6 nado helmet and you do 107 more dmg
107 must be subtracted from 100 because that is the difference between your damage and your ability to sustain dmg.
107-100 = 7It means that (using inaccurate figures), you will do several hundred hits of 107 damage more while losing 100 life.
Quote
The 6 Nado helm gives you a 7 unit Life advantage assuming that you always do max dmg (it is less or even negative if you do less then max dmg.)
note that having more then 1000 base life will decrease your 7 life advantage and having less then 1000 base life will increase it.
Retarded to do damage - life for a "net advantage". Not to mention you already acknowledge that having more than 1k hp will make this "life advantage" a lower number, and most pvp druids have 3k-4k base HP - a significant difference.

Let us further Analyze the Disadvantages of a 6 Nado helmet:
Assume you wear Perfect Spirit, 2x 10% fcr Rings, a 20% Fcr Ammy, Arach, Magefist, and Hoto
The cast rate for each of these items is respectively as follows:
35, 10, 10, 20, 20, 20, 40
The sum total of cast rate = 155
But you require 163 FCR to be effective on a druid.
Since there isn't 20% fcr on the helmet you must replace HOTO with Wiz Spike.
Hoto has 3 Skills on it. Wiz Spike has Zero.
So effectively the extra 3 skills from the 6 nado helm are lost when you replace HOTO with Wiz spike.
The total amount of skill adds is effectively reduced to 3 when attempting to achieve 163% Fcr.Thanks for the basic Druid lesson. But you should be using Sbranch, not Wiz. Also, your alternative helmet choice (Jalals) has no fcr, and thus suffers the same "I can't use HotO" problem. tl;dr, circs> if you want a +2 skill helm.
Quote
Finally Let us consider Jalal's
2 Skills (remember the advantage lost between 6 and 2 is 7 life)
And it should be obvious why the following mods are extremely Godly...
30% FHR
30 RES All
30 STRThe str is a minor add, 30 all res is unecessary for most match-ups too. Any good pelt will have 2os and 10 base fhr (no idea why you're comparing 6 nado pelts when 5 nado pelts are better), meaning you can have the same FHR and open sockets that Jalals has. tl;dr, jalals blows.
/e You actually think +life on level is bo'able? lol..
