Moment of Truth(3.5x) = 764.4 - Why is Wild Hunter better than Cabal Hermit?

This took a lot of second guessing and discord build discussions to finally hash out an actual definitive answer. The conclusion was; the damage gained from an additional skill outdid the damage added to Moment of Truth and other skills via Shamanic Resonance.

For Instance: with Shadow Kazite(20% CDR), Max Alertness(40% CDR), and the Energized effect(10% CDR), this build has 70% CDR, which brings the skill cooldowns to:

Moment of Truth = 4.5 seconds

Perfect Strike = 6 seconds

Predator Leap = 12 seconds

So, for what we care about, Shaman adds 44.1 damage to every Moment of Truth. You can swing 3 Moment of Truth's roughly in the time of 1 Predator Leap. So, we can solve what has more benefit by the comparison:

44.1 * 3 = 132.3 < 308.7

But what about the impact Shamanic Resonance gives?

It's also better to use Wild Hunter as Moment of Truth has a 0.5 impact multiplier and Perfect Strike deals no impact. So Predator Leap's (2x+30) impact modifier easily beats Shamanic Resonance's 10% rage boon increase. ''For other weapons, this math may change for impact. But the damage will always be better using Predator Leap.'' - Credit

Tsar Greatmace actually has less weapon skill damage than the Masterpiece Greatmace. However, the tsar greatmace has infinite durability and as durability drops damage drops, so the overall damage may stay the same. Credit to Raisin on discord
