Ever since Jonthan's, I've always loved procs on my Bard and try to stack as many as possible. We're always looking for items with big proc numbers and augs with the same. This has led me to some curiosity about weighing raw damage vs. procs. For instance, in HoT there's an 8 dmg aug, 7 dmg aug, and 3/4 dmg augs w/280 dmg proc. Seems like regarding the 8 dmg aug vs a 3 dmg aug w/280 dmg proc that 8 dmg aug wins, but what about 7 dmg aug vs 4 dmg w/proc? I would be curious to know what the weight of 1 dmg is vs X dmg in procs? For most classes it's a no brainer that you go for the higher damage but it seems to be a little less clear cut with Bard.
I just thought it would be interesting to hear other people's take or knowledge on this before I take the time to parse it all out.
