3.1 PTR PPM Test Results

Posted 03/11/09 at 6:50 PM by Rezarel
Conclusions
Proc chance per swing does not change with haste rating or Flurry. PPM procs use base weapon speed to calculate proc chance per swing.

95% confidence intervals
Berserking Enchant: 0.967-1.017 PPM
5/5 Unbridled Wrath: 14.972 - 15.017 PPM
2/2 Furious Attacks: 5.885 - 5.984 PPM

[Darkmoon Card: Berserker!]: 50.00 - 50.64% (flat chance per swing, not PPM)

I couldn't get consistent results for [Darkmoon Card: Greatness]....

Dear Blizzard: Elemental Shaman Itemisation

Posted 03/08/09 at 6:31 PM by Binkenstein

Dear Blizzard,

Could you please re-think the way caster gear is itemised?

Most of the gear that is showing up on the PTR at the moment has Spirit or MP5 on it. Not much of an issue for other classes, given they get some benefit from spirit (although for some this bonus is fairly minimal), but Elemental gains precisely zero from any regen itemisation. What this means is that the few items that are added without regen stats will be hotly contested by DPS casters, or forcing...

Ugh, Immortal

Posted 03/06/09 at 3:28 PM by Derrek
So, the last two acheivements I really have to get are Malygos 6m and Immortal for Glory of the Heroic Raider. (I DC'd during last week's Grobbulus 20man kill, we'll get that next week, and we're already doing healer Scion roations in Maly attempts).

Our guild is <10s away from a 6m Malygos kill, judging by Tuesday's attempts.

Immortal. People move out of fire, poison clouds, whatever now. We can easily clear Naxx in one night. We are definitely geared for...

Talent Analysis: Elemental Mana Management

Posted 03/05/09 at 9:43 PM by Binkenstein

So far patch 3.1 has very few changes for Elemental. The only change/addition is the talent Booming Echoes, adding a +10% damage bonus, per point for a maximum two points, to Frost Shock and the direct damage portion of Flame Shock, as well as reducing the cooldown on these shocks by 1 second per point (incidentally, it appears that the shock cooldown is reduced to 4 seconds after FS or FrS, while ES/WS will give a 6 second shock cooldown).

The question now is where to take the two...
