Suppose moonkin druids are typically limited by threat rather than mana. It is said that only 50% of amount-healed is converted into threat,.
My question:
-Assuming it is a single-target encounter, I hypothesize it would be viable to "trim" your threat by spending some time healing raid members. Perhaps this would allow a healer to throw down a nuke or two, but let's not assume that.
-How would you theorize this hypothesis? That is, if you are nuking at n% of your potential DPS due to a threat limit, how much time spent healing will reduce your potential DPS to the point that it matches your actual DPS? More trickily, how would you tie this proportion of DPS-to-Healing into the amount of +spellpower and/or +spellcrit you have?
If this question doesnt make sense, let me know. |
The threat issues balance face are less overall aggro issues, and more aggro during sensetive times.
Things like nightbane where he drops aggro, or the first 30 seconds of tghe fight where chain crits will cause you to pull.
I haven't looked at any warrior threat spreadsheets, but from experiance I would suspect 1100 threat per second is probably normal?
Under normal dps conditions I dont really have to hold back. its just the first few seconds, if I crit too much, or on deaggro fights.
Although I might have to reconsider that statement under the effects of extra mana regen from priests, manatide. Unlimited mana supply might make aggro and issue that Im not really seeing atm.
