Question: Any easy way to format these vB posts? I want to make these posts readable, but manually adding formatting tags is a PITA.
Seal of Vengeance coefficients & mechanics testing
Test parameters:
2.3 PTR
15/0/46 spec w/ 2H spec/Vengeance/Vindication, no Crusade
Test Method:
Blasted Lands Servant was used as a target dummy
For data collection, Vengeance was clicked off if it was active.
Observations:- DoT damage depends on active buffs (vengeance, etc) at first application (unchanged from live)
- 2h spec does not affect SoV DoT damage. (unchanged from live)
- JoW does not seem to be triggered by SoV's instant damage proc (unchanged from live)
- JotC will affect DoT damage immediately - it provides a bonus to DoT damage when applied and removes the bonus when removed. (unchanged from live)
- When "SoV resist" occured at the 5 stack - sometimes the instant damage would proc on a resist, other times it wouldn't.
- SoV/judgement refresh/vindication seems to trigger Spellsurge
- [unrelated] No JoW double procs were observed, so it appears Vindication does not trigger JoW.

Calculations:
Base damage for instant damage procs is based off of weapon speed * 10
Weapon speed / Change in +Holy / Change in instant damage / dDamage as % of dHoly / %dDamage of dHoly vs. weapon speed
1.9 / 219 / 5 / 2.28% / 1.2
2.0 / 219 / 5 / 2.28% / 1.14
2.6 / 219 / 6 / 2.74% / 1.05
3.0 / 219 / 7 / 3.20% / 1.07
3.2 / 219 / 10 / 4.57% / 1.43
1.9 / 328 / 7 / 2.13% / 1.12
2.7 / 328 / 10 / 3.05% / 1.13
3.6 / 328 / 13~14 / 3.96~4.27% / 1.1~1.19
Weapon speed / Change in +spell only / Change in instant damage / dDamage as % of dSpell / %dDamage of dSpell vs. weapon speed
1.9 / 601 / 13 / 2.16% / 1.13
2.7 / 700 / 21 / 3.00% / 1.11
3.6 / 551 / 22~23 / 3.99~4.17% / 1.11~1.16
Weapon speed / Change in total +spell (includes JotC) / Change in instant damage / dDamage as % of dSpell / %dDamage of dSpell vs. weapon speed
1.9 / 929 / 20 / 2.15% / 1.13
2.7 / 1028 / 31 / 3.02% / 1.11
3.6 / 879 / 36 / 4.10% / 1.14
Conclusion
The new instant damage proc coefficient is roughly 1.1% * weapon speed, which favors slower weapons.
The formula for calculating instant damage is:
(1.1% +dmg + 10) * [weapon speed]
The DPS formula, assuming 20 PPM, would be:
(1.1% +dmg + 10) * [weapon speed] * 20 PPM / 60 seconds
= (0.367% +dmg + 3.33) * [weapon speed]
Some more testing should be done with various weapon speeds and levels of +spell to narrow down the exact coefficient.
