Just curious is there any where on the spreadsheet to see the exact stat valuations? i.e. if Intellect is worth 1.0 then haste is worth .7, mastery .6, etc.

Just curious to see how it values Mastery vs. Haste as I go up and down in haste, and also to see how much more Mastery is worth with the 4pc bonus, since Eclipse up time is increased. Thanks.

After inputting your setup, go to the second page, and recompute tables (F9 on Windows). It will churn for a little bit and then spit out stat/talent values in all the dark blue columns.

I see. Are these valuations based on a normal rotation? Or is it just giving the stat valuations for Mastery if you are in the corresponding eclipse to buff that spell? i.e. Over the course of a boss fight Wrath benefits xAmount from haste on average and yAmount from Mastery on average vs. In Solar Eclipse Wrath benefits xAmount from haste and yAmount from Mastery.

Mastery just seems really, really high.

Could you copy and paste your values? I imported your character and set it to 4t12 which took mastery to 1.54 DPS per point, which isn't a massive boost from before. Even in BiS, it's still worth under half a point of Intellect.

That's with my current setup, without 4pc

Average Factors

Continuing on the above posts, i have some questions whishes regarding wrathcalcs:
Next to the stats for each individual spell, I would like to have an average weight of the stats for a givem rotation.
Right now I'm using the Damage% of the Spell breakdown table (B3745) to obtain relative values, summing all the spells for a rotation.

Mastery is only calculated for Eclipsed Spells, which is understandable. What i'm missing is a percentage of Eclipsed time for a given rotation. Or can i find it somewhere in the sheet?

Stomped, There is a comment in the cell that has that reads "Mastery" (the column header):

Scaling for Eclipsed spells--other 3 stats use uneclipsed spells.

To put Mastery on the same scale as the other spells, the scaling factor would be "This_Spell's_Eclipse_Uptime / (1+EclipseMastery)", a value around 2/5 for Wrath/Starfire in a normal rotation. Even for Solar-only it would only be about 5/8 for the Nature spells.

Edit: That formula I used above is wrong.

RV = rotation value of a stat for a spell
EV = Eclipsed value of a stat.
NEV = non-Eclipsed value of a stat.
EU = Eclipse uptime for a spell

RV = NEV*(1-EU)+EV*EU

For stats other than mastery, the spreadsheet shows NEV, and the RV formula is
EV = NEV*(1+EclipseMastery)
RV = NEV*(1-EU) + EV*EU = NEV*(1-EU + (1+EclipseMastery)*EU) = NEV*(1+EclipseMastery*EU)

For Mastery, the spreadsheet shows EV and the RV formula is
NEV = 0
RV = EV*EU

So to adjust WC single-spell mastery scaling to be in line with the other spells, multiply by EU/(1+EclipseMastery*EU)

If Wrath has an EclipseMastery of 0.6, and an EclipseUptime of 0.55, and shows Eclipse Scaling at 1.61, you'd want to use

1.61*0.55/(1+.6*.55) = 0.67

to put Wrath Mastery on the same scale as Wrath Int/Haste/Crit

Note: EclipseMastery is on the "Basic Calcs" tab. Cell J46 on my copy.


Edit: Caldarp: If you want to know what fraction of Wrath or SF benefit from Eclipse, go to the "Rotation" tab where there are cells showing the number of nukes cast during each Eclipse phase. For Wrath, you might see

Pre-Lunar: 5.6 casts
Solar: 6.9 casts

and compute 6.9/(5.6+6.9) = 55% of Wrath casts benefit from Eclipse.

Before you worry about all though, look near the top right by the stats themselves and you can get a value for each stat for the rotation as a whole.

I'm attaching an "experimental" WC that has an extra tab for Short-AoE comparisons.

It will answer questions like

- How long does a target have to live before IS is higher DPET than Instant Starsurge?
- How many targets does Hurricane need to have higher DPET than MF on a target with 8s to live?

You tell it the Eclipse phase, and if NG is up. The remaining numbers come from the existing WC sheet.

It will give "equivalent DPET" numbers for

DPET
Nukes (SF,Wr,SS,Instant SS,MF DD, LS3DD) - Number of simultaneous casts.
DoTs (FoN, MF, LS3, IS) - Duration
AoE (Typhoon, Hurricane, WM) - Number of targets (sheet does not know AoE caps)
Other (Thorns, Starfall) - Number of hits.

You specify one of those numbers (say 50k DPET or 1 SS Instant cast, and it tells you all the others (8.0 Typhoon targets, MF on a target that lives 10.6s, etc.).

This is based off of the July 25 WC.

Looking at my second piece of T12 and I'm getting odd results out of WrathCalcs regarding the best choice.

Currently have in my bags Helm of the Blind Seer (heroic), 4T11 (heroic chest), Incendic Chestguard (378), and T12 gloves -- using the Incendic Chestguard and T12 gloves, along with T11 shoulders and legs.

My natural expectation is that using 372 T11 chest, T11 shoulders, and T12 gloves and legs would produce the best numbers, given I'd get both two-piece set bonuses. However, WrathCalcs is showing higher DPS using Incendic Chestguard, T12 legs and gloves, and T11 shoulders. For that matter, it's showing better DPS using T12 chest and hands, and 359 T11 legs and shoulders.

Hmm, that paragraph looks a little confusing.

Chest + Shoulders + Legs + Hands
T11.5 (372) + T11 (359) + T12 (378) + T12 (378) + 2T12 + 2T11

is somehow less DPS than
Offset (378) + T11 (359) + T12 (378) + T12 (378) + 2T12

and is also less DPS than
T12 (378) + T11 (359) + T11 (359) + T12 (378) + 2T12 + 2T11

How the devil is six item levels worth more than a two-piece set bonus? Or for for the second option, how is going down in overall item level a DPS boost? I'm not near haste breakpoints -- actually, my haste goes down from 2594 to 2472 switching the legs from T11 to T12.

Remove post please, sorry!

You're just before a haste breakpoint, Larrabee, inflating the value of haste until you pass it. If you manually add 29 haste on the Gear Setup tab then manually calculate the sheet (F9 with Windows), you'll see the value go back down again.

Can you post two copies of the sheet with the full gear setups you're comparing in them?

Bugger, didn't realize that site charged for downloads. Let's try one that doesn't charge,
T11.5 chest WrathCalcs - Bloodfeud T11.5 chest.xls
Offset chest WrathCalcs - Bloodfeud offset chest.xls
