Methodology
Baseline profile
SimulationCraft default Beast Mastery Hunter profile at current season ilvl, no trinket equipped. Best-effort talent build, consumables, and gem/enchant set tracking SimC head.
Iteration count
50,000 iterations per trinket. Standard deviation on the DPS mean is well under 0.5% at this count, which keeps the ranking deltas reliable.
Cleave
Three-target uniform cleave, 5 minutes, fixed pull timing. Approximates a typical raid encounter with consistent adds.
Patchwerk
Single boss, 5 minutes, no movement, no adds. The pure DPS ceiling for raw rotation throughput.
Not included
Tier set bonuses, hero talent variance beyond the SimC default, encounter scripting (boss adds, mechanics, debuffs), and gear interactions outside the trinket slot. For your specific build, run a full sim.
