My guess would be 15% if anything, going by past set bonuses and current ones of other classes(seeing plenty of abilities having a 15% of some sort attached to them on T10).

Some results using the T9 258 BiS profile as the baseline.

1hasted means only SW: P ticks faster with Haste.
3hasted means all 3 DoTs do.
MB means it casts MB, NoMB means it doesn't. (If there's no MB or NoMB listed then it casts MB like normal).

*edit*. 1hasted_MB now actually casts Mind Blast.

In that parse, Priest_T9_13_00_58_258_4pcT10_1Hasted_MB is actually *not* casting Mind Blast. If the 3hasted ones are an indicator, it is still worth casting Mind Blast, at least with BiS T9-equivalent gear. The margin is getting pretty small, though.

Thanks. I'll update the post. The joys of copy and pasting.

Blizzard updated the Priest Tier 10 Set Bonuses:

Priest

* 2 Pieces (Damage): (Updated) The critical strike chance of your Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Plague, and Vampiric Touch spells is increased by 5%.
* 4 Pieces (Damage): (Updated) Reduces the channel duration and period of your Mind Flay spell by 0.5 seconds.

Althor · 10/09/09, 9:12 PM

My post with the simcraft results up the page a little was modeling the updated bonuses.

ved · 10/13/09, 6:01 PM

Shadow was given some massive changes on the latest PTR build:

Improved Devouring Plague: This spell now deals 10/20/30% of its total periodic effect instantly, up from 5/10/15%.
Shadowform: This talent also now causes Devouring Plague, Shadow Word: Pain, and Vampiric Touch to benefit from haste. Both the period length and the duration of these spells will be reduced by haste. In addition, the mana cost has been reduced from 32% to 13% of base mana.
Vampiric Embrace: This ability is now provides a 30-minute buff that cannot be dispelled, instead of a target debuff.
Glyph of Mind Flay now Increases the damage done by your Mind Flay spell by 10% when your target is afflicted with Shadow Word: Pain.
Glyph of Shadow Word: Pain changed to - The periodic damage ticks of your Shadow Word: Pain spell restore 1% of your base mana.
Glyph of Shadow now increase your spell power by 30% of your spirit for 10 sec. (Up from 10%)

(these can be confirmed on both MMO Champion and World of Raids.)

Back of the envelope calcs using an ignis parse where applicable:

Buff 'a' doubles imp dp damage: 96 dps
Buff 'c' gives us one free gcd on a single target fight: 17dps across a 5 minute fight
Buff 'f' gives me 114.8 more sp in current gear: Rawr says this is about 170dps

The dot haste buff is simple to model for SW:P since it doesn't need to be reapplied. With 25% haste it gives me about 200 dps. For dots which need to be reapplied this will be a smaller buff (although on a higher dps spell), and requires some more in depth modelling.

Edit: Simcraft tests have already been posted for the other dot haste buffs. They seem to be somewhere in the ballpark of 600dps with perfect rotation and BiS gear. So to be consistent with the other calculations that's probably more like 450 dps.

Sounds about right, but more than anything, it is a good fix to our fucked up spirit scaling (spirit -> spell power conversion went from 22% a few weeks ago, to 55%, making it a 'decent' stat, barely worse than crit).

Althor wake up and code all this up, in particular, I am curious how much mp/5 the glyph of sw: p works out to be.

With the changes to shadowform allowing DoTs to scale with haste it will depend on how much haste you have:
* Assuming zero haste (SWP ticks every 3 seconds) then it will be approximately 65 mp/5
* Assuming 25% haste (SWP ticks every 2.5 seconds) then it will be approximately 80 mp/5

65 mp/5 is pretty good, especially for PvP. After this change goes in, the glyph of shadow becomes a must have, the glyph of mindflay becomes a must have, the third glyph swp/dispersion is a toss up, but the new haste on dots means our mana consumption increases and using dispersion on cooldown is a serious DPS loss.

On the other hand, a 1 minute ' oh shit ' is very nice, this will be interesting to math out and will depend almost entirely on the content. I'll probably carry a stack of each glyph and swap as required.

Keep in mind SWP glyph scales with the number of targets you dot.

Kobal · 10/14/09, 9:58 AM

Just an interesting observation I made when adapting my own crude Excel to the current 3.3. changes - in particular all DoTs benefitting from haste: It seems that haste is now more valuable than spell power on a 1-for-1 basis, the factor I got was 1 haste = 1.14 spell power. This was in Mid-T9 gear.

Of course we will have to wait for Althor to confirm this via SimCraft.

The Not So Evil · 10/14/09, 10:38 AM

Quickly (read: no extensive testing) adding this to Rawr, loading up Muqq from Tarren Mill, switching his Glyph of Mind Sear to Glyph of Shadow, brought his DPS up from guesttimated 6447 @ 3.2.2, to 8214 in 3.3. Haste is better than Spell Power point by point, but considering you get more Spell Power per point of itemization, Spell Power is still better. Crit Rating shows to be about 30% better than Spirit. Crit is worth 1.29 DPS, Spirit 1.01 DPS. At 8214 DPS, losing 400 Crit Rating to 400 Spirit will make you lose about 400*(1.29-1.01) = 112 DPS. (1.3% of total.) Haste/Spirit gear may actually not be a bad choice if that is easier for you to pick up, compared to Haste/Crit.

A side note: (Don't take this as a fact yet, its just something that needs to be checked up on further)
Right now we got Hit Cap, and it seems like we might be talking about 3 new caps.

Minimum Haste Cap:
Where you get enough haste to do MB-MF-MF-MB without delaying the second MB (MF Cast time = 5.5/4*2 = 2.75)
This is achieveable through Raid buffs + 0.87% haste, or 29 Haste Rating. During Heroism: Achievable by default.

Medium Haste Cap:
Where you get enough haste to do MB-MF-MF-DoT/SWD-MB without delaying the second MB (MF Cast time = 5.5/5*2 = 2.2)
This is achieveable through Raid buffs + 26.09% haste, or 856 Haste Rating. During Heroism: Achievable with Raid buffs alone.
(4pt10: Raid buffs + 5.07% haste, or 167 Haste Rating).

High Haste Cap:
Where you get enough haste to do MB-MF-MF-MF-MB without delaying the second MB (MF Cast time = 5.5/6*2 = 1.83)
This is achieveable through Raid buffs + 51.58% haste, or 1692 Haste Rating. During Heroism: Achievable with Raid buffs + 16.6% haste, or 545 Haste Rating.
(4pt10: Raid buffs + 26.32% haste, or 863 Haste Rating, Hero: Achievable with just Raid buffs).

I might have done some wrong calculations.

The Build 10571 Priest changes to SimulationCraft are checked in. I've been away most of the day and then had my raid etc., thus the delays...

Anyway, here are the results:

So from 8603 dps to 9850 dps.

+1247 DPS or +14.45% DPS.

I made the changes quickly so I'm not 100% confident I haven't made a mistake. And I'm going off what it says in the notes etc. rather than what is currently happening on PTR (I hear that DP isn't scaling with haste currently and the Imp. DP boost hasn't made it in yet).

Scale factors will follow.
