So, could someone offer a quick walk through on how to find APC if you already have values for Net Damage, Attack Power (I'm assuming total AP), and the base damage of the spell?
Oh, and I tested Ebon Plague w/ Scourge Strike, and it definitely adds to the damage... if that was ever in doubt.

To test the APC coefficient, all you need to do is find out how much more damage than the base its doing. Make sure you dont have FF at first to get small numbers, and less variance. Try to get an extremely low ATP, then do enough casts to get close to the min/max and subtract the base min from that min, and base max from that max.
Then increase the ATP, try to do so by as even of a number as possible, and do the same finding min max, then subtracting base. See the diff, then pick another relatively even ATP. If its inconsistant, just look at the numbers - often the coefficients are a pretty even number so you can guess what it should be.
As for the equation, well, you can just send me your numbers via PM and I could find it pretty easy

I really want Howling Blast numbers myself.
Also I apologize for the Ebon Plague thing then, as I could have sworn I read it didn't affect it. Many people claimed SS was a melee attack that was converted to shadwo at the end, preventing it from gaining spell affects and bonuses. This was why it can be blocked (which blizz stated was intentional). If ebon Plague affects it, they need to clarify that. However, the whole arguement was about scaling, thats why we only referred to the % of weapon damage and not the stagnant, bonus damage.
However still, my whole arguement was Oblit scales better than SS. This is still true, even with armor, however its not by much and doesnt seem to catch up to the vast lead SS gets with bonus damage and the lack of armor to worry about. I guess that was the intent though.
Tzen's spreadsheet didnt have Ebon Plague as affecting SS on the version I saw also, so this info helps as I need to include it in mine.
Any info now n ghouls would be very helpful. Like The base bonus they get from your stats like str and armor and stam, and what thier skills are and what they do, and thier base atp and damage at 80.
