Well first you count how many weapon swings you make. Say you have a 3.40 speed weapon:

60 seconds / 3.4 seconds per swing = 17.64 swings

Then you get the PPM of Seal of Command, which is 7 procs.

If you judge Command every 8 seconds, 60/8 = 7.5 judgements.

Crusader Strike every 10 seconds, so 6 strikes.

So autoattack + SoC + CS = 30.64 swings. Assume a 15% crit rate, that's 4.60 crits.

JoC has 30% crit rate with Fanaticism, so 2.25 crits.

4.60 + 2.25 = 6.85 crits a minute.

Mind you, I can't remember off the top of my head whether Crusader Strike can proc Seals or not and whether Windfury Totem can proc Seals or be procced off SoC procs and/or Crusader Strike, so this is just an example of how to find the number of crits per minute, as opposed to a "real" example.

With a 15% critrate I get an uptime of 58,94% through my calculator, I can't really figure out the cause of the small difference. A good night's worth of sleep might help. :)

Last I heard, CS does not proc direct damage seals (SoR/SoC/SoB) on beta. It definitely didn't on the PTR. According to others who have played with it more, it will proc other seals and weapon procs.


Windfury sounds like it will be interesting, as I'm pretty sure SoC can proc it. The question now is whether Windfury can proc anything. (Seals? Normal -> SoC -> Windfury -> SoC?)

I was under the impression that Windfury was no longer considered a melee hit, and thus wouldn't get procs or generate rage.

I've now updated the calculator to incorporate the proper Vengaence-calculations. Next in line is misses and glancing blows.

Here's the math proof I promised. I'm too lazy to clean it more. And yes, the result is an approximation. With my math, factoring that in was too much bother. (And hey, it's not like you'll notice a 2% difference in a small number. >_> )


VENGEANCE UPTIME:

Vengeance boosts physical holy damage output by 15% for 8 seconds after dealing a critical strike. Essentially, it's a function of the number of critical hits over a given time interval.

Let's call it Vt(N) [Vengeance Time]

*N is the # of critical hits you make per minute


Each extra critical hit increases the amount of vengeance time by an amount less than the previous, on average proportional to the % of non-Vengeance time. (Diminishing returns)


Vt(0) = 0
Vt(1) = [1 - V(0)/60]*8 + V(0) = 1*8 = 8
Vt(2) = [1 - V(1)/60]*8 + V(1) = 52/60*8 = 8 = 14.93
Vt(3) = [1 - V(2)/60]*8 + V(2) = 45.07/60*8 + 14.93 = 20.94


Assume Vt() is in the form 60(1-e^kn)

Vt(0) = 60(1-e^0) = 60(1-1) = 0
Vt(1) = 60(1-e^k) = 8 -> 1-e^k = .133 -> e^k = 0.866 -> k = ln(0.866) = -.143
Vt(2) = 60(1-e^2k) = 14.93 -> 1-e^2k = .2488 -> e^2k = .7512 -> 2k = ln(.7512) = -.286 -> k = -.143


So Vt(N) = 60*(1-e^-.143N)

As N approaches infinity, e^kn goes to 0, and Vt() is 60, as it should be. [If you crit every hit, Vengeance should be up 100% of the time] Note that k = -.143 is for N per 60 seconds - you could scale k for a different time interval if you so wished. ie: N critical hits per 30 seconds would have a different value for K.


For % uptime, just divide Vt(N) by 60 and multiply by 100%, which yields:

Vengeance Uptime:
(1 - exp(-.143 * N) * 100%

I'm now done with a major update, and have incorporated proper calculations for glancing blows, hit ratio and Avenging Wrath. (I looked at Deathwing's calculations for help with the glancing blows, if you've got a problem with that then please do tell.) The calculator should now be next to 100% accurate, the only thing that's missing is is Windfury and Hand of Justice, which will be coming in another update together with calculations for Seal of Righteousness-DPS.

I havent been through the numbers myself, but Ive seen (but not checked) some numbers that suggest the dps difference between SoR and SoC is small enough to be negligable in anything but warrior gear because of the coefficient on SoR. If that is true it makes SoC a purely pvp talent for burst damage, which is a little disappointing to me.

This is true to an extent. SoR benefits more from +dmg type gear etc whilst SoC benefits more from Str/Crit gear.

In non str/crit gear the difference between SoC and SoR is not huge, though from playing on beta, i would still say that dps from SoC in str/crit gear is greater than dps from SoR with +dmg type gear. Though i havent put a lot of time into SoR grinding.

Will give it some extra attention tonight,

For burst damage it's no comparison. For sustained DPS, I still had the most consistent DPS in melee gear, or best-case scenario, avenger-type gear. Plus, SoR is really boring. ><
