Elitist Jerks [Mage] A question about coefficients

 05/22/08, 12:50 PM #1 Moshimoshi Glass Joe   Moshimoshi Gnome Mage   Kazzak (EU) [Mage] A question about coefficients Do talents such as piercing ice and ice shards have an effect on +spell dmg coefficients? If so, how do they effect +spell dmg coefficients? Do target debuffs such as misery and CoE have an effect on +spell dmg coefficients? If so, how do they effect +spell dmg coefficients?

What do you base that on? Also, are piercing ice and arcic winds considered multipliers just like misery and CoE?

And I've already looked around, doubt this question has been asked before, and I'd very much like a definitive answer.

If you want to calculate the "net" coefficient, which represents the real increase in damage/cast from 1 point of +damage, then that number is... $\mbox{="net coefficient="}= hq(1+bc)r$ I know Lhivera likes to use this measure a lot, but I'm not a fan of thinking in terms of net coefficients.

Specced 2/0/59, so if anything it should either display the base amount (597-647) or a 662-718 damage range. Anyone here able to explain this? And muphrid, could you please post a thorough explaination of that formula for all of us that didn't choose math as our major?
