Warcrack

[WitchBoy]

Because hey, we're addicts and I don't like the uber loot thread, so I hence devote this to discussing the warcrack in all its forms.

Begin!

Server:Cenarion Circle
Kyravael-60 Blood Elf Mage
Iktik-70 Troll Shaman

[Osama Bin Laden]

Server: Lightnings Blade
Mailus - 61 Rogue
Monicca - 26 Warlock ( My current main.)

I don't play him a lot, got too many alts.

I like to play my new priest, its fun, mostly becuase its new, Ive never played a priest beyond level 2 before.

[Slipper Eater]

Kay, list of my characters I play.

Hydraxia-70 Undead priest-Steamwheedle CartelEU
Postlapsaria-68 Tauren warrior-Steamwheedle CartelEU
Hisoka-37 Belf Mage- Steamwheedle CartelEU

Oh, I also have an Alliance char on Defias Brotherhood. Same as my warrior >,<

edit: I think gearing my Priest for Kara has stolen my soul. Nevah roll a holy priest.

((Replying to SE's post from the "How Was Your Day" thread, because it's more on-topic here. ))

You should be able to run Shattered Halls in about 80 minutes, but counting repairing and general cooldown and whatnot 3 hours for two runs isn't terrible.

[Slipper Eater]

Yeah. The first one was longer because our first tank='hai, wuts a shield? '

WTB Priest Tanking Gear!

Ran RFK at 26 last night, went remarkably well. I was amazed.

Oh, and the LFG thing actually assembled a decent group for once, I was more amazed by this than the actual run. xD

Oh, and dinged 27 too. Time for some PvP maybe.

Any tanking warrior that isn't wearing a shield needs to be smacked in the face multiple times, seriously. Also, I spent about 3 hours calculating, recalculating, and doublechecking against different formulas the DPM (Damage per mana) gain of Master of Elements (18 points in Fire) as opposed to Arcane Meditation+Concentration (18 points in arcane).

End results (warning, World of Mathcraft Ahead):
Base:
Frostbolt (rank 13)
Mana Cost: 271
+Damage: 800
Base +crit: 20
All relevant DPS talents, no Frostbite/Shatter
Assumed spirit:200

With frost talents (and no arcane or fire)
Average hit: 1423
Average Critical: 2846
Crit: 35% (Winter's Chill+Improved Frostbolt)
Sustained Average damage: 1921
Sustained DPM: 7.09

Now, let's look at the DPM with Master of Elements, counting these stats.
DPM: 7.9
DPM gained: .81

Okay, time to check arcane.
DPM with arcane concentration with assumed proc rate of exactly 10%: 7.87
DPM gained: .78

Now, I'm going to add my own calculation for both 10% and 15% arcane meditation with 200 spirit
DPM with 200 spirit while running 15% combat regen (11.8125 regen over 2.5 seconds): 8.28
DPM gained: 1.19
DPM with 200 spirit while running 10% combat regen (classic 17/0/44 build) (7.875 regen over 2.5 seconds): 8.14
DPM gained: 1.05

End Results
DPM gain with 18 in arcane as opposed to fire: .38


Notes
*All damage is assumed to have 5/5 stacks of Winter's Chill

Edit:Calculating for master of elements was a PAIN, I ended up using a formula of {([crit%/100]*Critdamage)+([(100-Crit%)/100]*normaldamage)} / [(crit%/100]*[spellmana-.3spellmana])+([100-crit%)/100]*spellmana)}

Yeah. .

[Slipper Eater]

After way too long, I am attuned.

I then went on an instance spree, and now I am completely ing exhausted. However, I now never want to stop PuGing. There is so much magic in joining a group and everything going oh-so perfectly.



I am a happy bunny!

A good PUG is a truly amazing thing, and addicting. If it wasn't for good PUG's, I wouldn't be playing WoWcrack.

Did RFC with a bunch of twelves and only an off-healer, and it went surprisingly well. I know its only RFC, but considering the average level of experience with people doing RFC, its amazing to have a run go well.

[Slipper Eater]

I actually agree... I have so many horror stories from WC/RFC ><

+ . Never choose to instance when the tanks are ALL in kara

[Osama Bin Laden]

Finally got to 61, almost 62 now. Got a nice new helm in Zangamarsh.

Question, why are the Ramparts group soooo bad? You'd think once people got to/passed 60 they would have a bit of experience with 5 mans, but apparently not.
