Meanwhile if you go full Attack Power Gear then your Mana will be "OOM" . This mean your DPS go down to Swings only instead Judges,Consecrations which are part of the DPS.
Paladin Set = Int + Str (ap) + SP + . = SP + AP .
Nothing will replace that . You can argue this until tomorrow but if your gear have 2 Str , 1 Int will boost that 2 Str to even higher Value. Crit/Agility is far more important than Str due to Procs and Flat extra 15% Dmg on Everything.
other than that - Command is not only DPS , neither Melee Swings. We have rotation which is called :
JotC-SoC - JoC - Consecration . Hammer for Execution . Exorcism for Undeads.
Hammer and Exorcism scale with Spell Damage.
JoC + Consecration + SoC = 70% of our DPS . All 3 work with Spell Damage.
SoC+White Swings = 50% of our DPS . 2 work with AP.
White Swings = 30% of our DPS. work with AP.
Consecration + JoC = SP. 50% of our DPS.
JoC + SoC + White Swings = procs on Eye of Sulfuras + LBRS + DMF trinket .
Eye of Sulfuras + LBRS + DMF = Scale with Spell Damage .
JoC + SoC + White Swings = proc Vengeance .
Still 70% of our DPS abilities that require Mana + 30% of our DPS that require 0 Mana .
If we include Procs by the 3 Items mention = 70% of our DPS comes from Spell Damage while 30% of our DPS comes from AP. (in calculation of AP at SoC included) .
or let say :
SoC+JoC+Consecration+3 Items = 80% of our DPS that all of them Scale with Spell Damage.
White Swings will be left out with 20% of our DPS.
Now :
Faster Weapon = Lower Command DPS , Slower Weapon = Higher Command DPS.
Faster Weapon = Higher White Hits , Slower Weapon = Lesser White Hits .
Glancing Blow = 15% or more DPS reduce by White Hits .
AP and SP are on independant scale , they are separated and only 1 thing make them in Common , SoC which is not the only DPS Ability that we use.
If you reduce too much AP , SP abilities will not go much high while you will reduce that 30% DPS.
If you reduce too much SP , AP ability will not go much high while you will reduce that 70% DPS.
Enjoy in PVE Theory if you are capable of understanding it .
