One of Google's Quotes of the Day:
Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.
- GK Chesterton
It's so true, so very true.
Anyways, on to the text series of twinks!
For feral, we're looking at both of these:
Ravage (Rank 4)
With a damage of 350% + 343
Ferocious Bite (Rank 4)
5 Points = 770-820 + 2.5 damage per energy.
Base Cat DPS = 54.8 [don't have the damage range, though]
At 1.00 attack speed, 54.8 dps = 55 damage.
GEAR TIME:
(head) Field Marshal's Dragonhide Helmet (+16 Agi, +15 Str, +24 AP)
(neck) The Eye of Hakkar (+40 AP)
(shoulder)Highlander's Leather Shoulders (+18 Agi, +30 AP)
(chest) Field Marshal's Dragonhide Breastplate (+14 Agi, +19 Str, +36 AP)
(waist) Taut Dragonhide Belt (+60 AP)
(legs) General's Dragonhide Leggings (+16 Agi, +16 Str, +22 AP)
(feet) Boots of the Shadow Flame (+44 AP)
(wrist) Wristguards of Stability (+24 Str)
(hands) Doomhide Gauntlets (+14 Agi +42 AP)
(ring1) Master Dragonslayer's Ring (+48 AP)
(ring2) Circle of Applied Force (+22 Agi, +12 Str)
(trinket1) Drake Fang Talisman (+56 AP)
(trinket2) Counterattack Lodestone (+22 AP)
(mainhand) Hammer of Bestial Fury (+13 Str, +154 AP)
(offhand) Tome of Knowledge (+8 Agi, +8 Str)
Total:
+108 Agi
+107 Str
+530 AP
Total +AP: 852
Base level 60 Tauren (more AP than Nelf) Druid Stats: 70 str 55 agi
Total level 60 AP: 1047
Cat Form: +40 AP
AP:1087
Talents:
Feral Aggresion: +15% Damage from FBite
Predatory Strikes: +90 AP
Heart of the Wild: + 20% Strength
Natural Weapons: +10% Damage
Omen of Clarity (Free Ability)
+20% str = 0.2*177 = +35 Str, = +70 AP
1087 + 70(HoW) + 90(PS) = 1247 AP. *shudder*
So, 1247 AP = +89.1 dps.
That means our kitty's base dps is:
(54.8 + 89.1) = 143.9 dps ( 158.3 dps with Natural Weapons)
Now, imagine we get a crit Ravage.
Base damage: ((143.9 * 3.5) + 343) * 1.1 = 931 damage, 1862 crit damage. Remember, this is from stealth. You never saw it coming.
Now, follow that up with a Clarified, 5 point Bite, with full energy. (A most devastating assault)
Base Damage: 770-820 + (2.5*100) = 770-820+250 = 1020-1070 * 1.1 * 1.15 = base Damage of 1290-1354, 2580-2708 on a critical hit. Too bad AP doesn't help here.
Balance time!
This will be a more realistic spec. We're going for hit%, crit% and +arcane damage.
(head) Mish'undare, Circlet of the Mind Flayer (2% Crit, +35 Spell damage)
(neck) TOEP (+175 Spell damage)
(shoulder) Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal (+34 Spell Damage)
(chest) Bloodvine Vest (2% Hit,+27 Spell Damage)
(waist) Mana Igniting Cord (1% crit, +25 Spell Damage)
(legs) Bloodvine Leggings (1% Hit, +37 Spell Damage)
(feet) Boots of Fright (+34 Spell Damage)
(wrist) Bracers of Arcane Accuracy (1% Hit, 21 spell Damage)
(hands) Bloodtinged Gloves (1% Hit, +19 Spell Damage)
(ring1) Mindtear Band (1% Crit, +22 spell damage)
(ring2) Band of Forced Concentration (1% crit, +21 Spell Damage)
(trinket1) Neltharion's Tear (2% Hit, +44 Spell Damage)
(trinket2) Eye of the Beast (2% Crit)
(mainhand) Lok'amir il Romathis (+84 Spell damage)
(offhand) Tome of Arcane Domination (+34 Arcane Damage)
(Elixir) Elixer of Spell Power (+150 Spell damage)
The tough part is finding +crit that's not mage/priest/warlock specific.
So, the totals are in:
7% Crit, +762 Spell Damage, +7% Hit
Talents:
Moonfire: +10% Damage, +10% damage, +10% Crit, x2 crit damage
Starfire: +10% Damage, x2 crit damage, -0.5 casting time, 15% chance to stun
All: +3% Crit
That's a 20% bonus crit to Moonfire, giving you 25% base crit, plus 2-3% from int.
Starfire's only got 5%+7%+3%+2-3%, only 17-18%, instead of 27-28%. Darn.
So,
Starfire (Rank 6)
445-525 Arcane Damage. 3.5 second cast (100% damage)
(445-525 + 762)x1.1 for base damage: 1328-1416 damage. Critical strike: 2656-2832 damage (on a 3 second cast, 2.5 seconds after a spell crit)
Moonfire (Rank 10)
189-221 Arcane Damage, instant cast (42.9% damage)
((189-221) + 327) x1.1 x1.1 = 624-663 damage. Critical Strike: 1248-1326 (on a no-cooldown, instant cast)
Can't belive I missed this for my paly:
Hand of Justice
Binds when picked up
Unique
Trinket Miscellaneous
Requires Level 53
Passive: 2% chance on hit to gain 1 extra attack.
Passive: +20 Attack Power.
Drops where? BRD. Yep. General Angerforge, the guy near the Golem Room. My paly will <3 BRD now. lots. This+Ironfoe+Reckoning = uberattacks. Can you imagine the combat logs:
[18:34:43]You crit Innora for 465.
[18:34:46]Innora hits you for 227.
[18:34:46]Innora hits you for 262.
[18:34:46]Innora's Seal of Righteousness hits you for 80 holy damage.
[18:34:46]Innora hits you for 234.
[18:34:46]Innora's Seal of Righteousness hits you for 80 holy damage.
[18:34:46]Innora crits you for 486.
[18:34:46]Innora's Seal of Righteousness hits you for 80 holy damage.
[18:34:46]Innora hits you for 271.
[18:34:46]Innora's Seal of Righteousness hits you for 80 holy damage.
[18:34:46]Innora hits you for 234.
[18:34:46]Innora hits you for 210.
[18:34:46]Innora's Seal of Righteousness hits you for 80 holy damage.
[18:34:46]Innora crits you for 462.
[18:34:46]Innora's Seal of Righteousness hits you for 80 holy damage.
[18:34:47]You die.
Reading the formula section on Thottbott, I come across this post:
"Jesus christ guys, go get a life, or do us all a favor and jump off of a cliff."
Deep down, I find it amusing that this person feels that having the people who are intelligent enough to use formulae and mathmatics to thier advantage go jump off cliffs would be favorable to everyone else. Then again, I suppose he's kinda right, since he's not really smart enough to benefit from our knowledge, and thus will spend his life at the bottom of society, instead of rising to power via brainless violence, and establishing a short and brutal rule over his horde of club-wielding cavemen before being devored by a hungry tiger. C'est La Vie.
