Ok... Fine... Ill be THAT guy. And keep in mind the following post is only regarding one of the issues I previously stated with your sentiment towards the godly Woven Vine Wristband. A sentiment that you seem to be really holding on to as if saying its overpriced is some sort of insult to you.

Wiki gives us a rough formula for determining how many procs youll achieve with your mainhand. here it is

(Dex/170) + 0.5 = procs per minute rate for main hand.

Lets say for the sake of argument we're going to compare if a monk was to equip a Woven Vine Wristband VS https://wiki.project1999.com/Shiverback-hide_Wristbands (and im going easy on you here, there are other choices to close this dexterity gap even more). There is a difference between 5 dexterity between these two items. So lets use the formula

Monk A has 170 dexterity with Shiverback Wrist equipped.

Monk B has 175 dexterity with Woven Vine Wristband equipped.

Using the formula we determine that:

Monk A has a (170/170 + 0.5 =) 1.5 chances to proc per minute

Monk B has a (175/170 +0.5 =) 1.529 chances to proc per minute.

The difference in chances to proc per minute between these two monks is .029 thousandths chances per minute.

And you're basing your entire argument off of the fact that the extra dex is good for proccing. Meaning. Your rich ass would pay 30,000 platinum for an extra .029 thousandths chance of proccing. I'm sure that make a big deal when your monk needs to hold aggro huh??

This doesnt even allude to the other ideas I presented earlier. Like I could definitely find that extra .029 thousandths of a chance to proc from other gear without spending 30k...

Or how monks who proc an extra .029 thousandths of a chance per minute are going to piss off the tank (now that i've done the math I guess that point may be moot).

Or how most monks who can afford something for 30k can already MAX out their Dex if not from buffs.

I mean do I really have to keep going here? C'mon man let go of this absurd fascination with this wristband
