True, but the additional melee ranks would also offset those. IMHO, the simulator should be based on level 80 ratings, spells and abilities. We may only have 1-2 weeks of fun at level 70 before WotLK comes out, and I'd hate to see the simulator wasted if it really is designed for only level 70 combat.

Yeah, I'm not trying to be an ass about it, I just want to min/max our damage in practical settings. What if it turns out that a priority system does 1% more damage than a simple macro? Would that be worth the hassle of blandly staring at our cooldowns and weapon procs for 4 straight hours at a time? It hardly seems fun to have to put so much effort into maximizing our damage while all the other classes can just play their classes. *shrug*

The wiki seems to indicate that the range is in fact 1.3 to 4.0. It's hard to imagine that I've spent the past 5 years playing wow under the assumption of the 1.5 to 3.0 range, however. It would also be the first instance of blizzard balancing a 'spell coefficient' around a sub 1.5 second casting spell. I will check with some white weapons tonight to be sure.
Flametongue Weapon - Spell - World of Warcraft The comments seem to also indicate the lower boundary to be 1.5 seconds as well.

I was getting 2100-2300 LL crits on the beta. That would seem to indicate its base weapon damage and not 50%.
