Lately I've been pondering the usefulness of shamanistic rage, so after some time and a little bit of poking around in Excel, I've come up with a simple spreadsheet showing the effectiveness of shamanistic rage.

The spreadsheet takes weapon speed into account, but has yet to account for windfury. It has a breakdown of the possibilities the skill can involve including different procs per minute, and straight percentages such as 5%, 10%, 50%, etc.

I'm pretty sure it's working correctly cuz the ppm stays static when I change weapon speeds while the %'s differ. The sheet currently uses the newest version of SR which is 15% of total AP for 30 seconds, and the mana gained back is broken down into MP5. Also, there is a column that calculates Judgement of Wisdom and Black Grasp of the Destroyer. So far, the skill looks a bit disappointing but go ahead and see for yourself.

To see the effects of different weapon speeds and attack powers, just change the value in the blue boxes. I take into account that the target is a boss with a 5% chance to dodge and you're dpsing from its behind. This might be a little off so if it is, feel free to give a comment and i'll make a quick edit. I also assume a few things such as 13% hit from talents and that you stormstrike as soon as its up, during the shamanistic rage duration.

I'm not too familiar with file hosting so I just googled a random file host. If there is anything better, feel free to give me a few pointers.

I looked at your sheet, for flurry calcs, I am pretty sure it is weapon speed/1.3, not weapon speed * .7.

For hitting the mob calcs, =(82.4+C7)/100 where did this come from?

DW has a 24% chance to miss a same level guy, and if you are assuming 13% to hit, then that would be
100 -24 + 13 = 89 + any hit gear you had.

I did a quick replacement so it shud be back up. In terms of putfile.com, I thought it only did media files like mp3/wmv/jpeg etc.

whoops wrong site. sorry bout the mixup. here it is again: http://savefile.com/files/100662

i added in chance to dodge and chance to miss. assuming no block/parry, i went 100-24% = 76 - 5 = 71 + 13. But looks like it's still wrong, sooo let me make the change to 84 instead of 82.4. and i'll do the flurry change as well.
