This has already been tested back at 70 and afaik the result was that the bonus increases the final damage by 3%, i.e. 200% dmg -> 206% dmg, 230% dmg->236.9% dmg. More information can be found for examle here.

With a pre-Ulduar almost BiS gearset, spell-hit capped, Sim Results are giving values of Hit ~1.5 and Crit ~1.7.
This seems to match some of the other Sim results in this thread.

However, looking through a WWS parse, and calculating hit and crit effects yields a vastly different result: Hit is roughly 40% the relative value of Crit.

WWS parse used: Wow Web Stats

Percent DPS increase from 1% hit or 1 hit rating:

White hits:  1686 @ 793 avg (non-crit hits + glancing), and 1513 @ 1854 (crit), 816 @ 693 (glancing), 245 Misses, 58 Parries.

Avg non-crit white hit damage = (1686*793-816*693)/(1686-816) = 887

White hit weighting:  1854 @ .43 (crit), 887 @ .25 (normal), 693 @ .23 (glancing), 0 @ .07 (miss), 0 @ .017 (parry)
  Total:  1178

If hit is increased by 1%:
White hit weighting:  1854 @ .43 (crit), 887 @ .26 (normal), 693 @ .23 (glancing), 0 @ .06 (miss), 0 @ .017 (parry)
 Total: 1187
 %-increase: 0.78%

White hits are 28% of total DPS from that WWS.
Total Increase in DPS due to 1% hit increase: 0.22%

Total Increase in DPS due to 1 hit rating (32.79 rating = 1% hit): 0.00669 %
(above spell hit cap)

Percent DPS increase from 1% crit or 1 crit rating:

Firstly, calculate a formula for the % increase in dps from an ability when the ability (a) cannot miss, (b) is not crit-capped: 
Critical Hit: c  @ r, where c = avg crit amt, and r = crit rate expressed as proportion
Normal Hit: n  @ 1- r, where n = avg normal hit amt.

Value of 1% crit =

(.01 + r)c+(.99-r)n
------------------------
r*c+(1-r)*n

Secondly, list all abilities that fall under this criteria:
From the All Bosses WWS:
Ability: n,c,r
Magma Totem: 748,1572,.31
Windfury: 1939,4028,.42
Earth Shock: 2585,5429,.36
Flametongue: 445,937,.36
L.Bolt: 3683,7443,.32
Stormstrike: 875,1860,.43
C.Lightning: 2492,5528,.32
Lava Lash: 1157,2432,.43
Searing Totem: 632,1342,.32

Thirdly, also calculate values for white swing (converts one hit into crit, at a lower rate b/c of misses and glancings)

Fourthly, sum up all these increases:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=r5sWM1yb9oTVQDZJzBZlDIw&hl=en

Total Increase in DPS due to 1% crit increase: 0.007576365406625 = 0.76%

Total Increase in DPS due to 1 crit rating: 0.000165026473679 = 0.0165%

Therefore 1 hit rating above spell cap = 0.40 crit rating at this gearing level.
This means that crit rating is roughly 2.5x as valuable as hit rating.

Or, if crit = 1.7 EP, then hit = 0.7 EP

This differs from the sim value by a factor of 2:1.

Any ideas what's going on? Am I doing something wrong in the WWS theorycraft, or is the sim off?

I don't see where you are factoring in the additional Flametongue, Static Shock, and Maelstrom Weapon damage from having additional white swings hit.

Thanks, that explains it.

Reposting:

Total Increase in white DPS due to 1% hit increase: 0.22%

1% hit increases melee hits by 1.1%, increasing FT, MW, and SS, as well:
FT is 9% of total damage, LB & CL are 12% of total damage, and SS is 4% of total damage. Total: 25%

Total DPS increase from FT, MW, and SS: 0.27%

Total White + Spell Dmg increase from 1% hit rating: 0.49%


Total Increase in DPS due to 1 hit rating (32.79 rating = 1% hit): 0.01509 %
(above spell hit cap)

Total Increase in DPS due to 1 crit rating: 0.000165026473679 = 0.0165%

Once additional flurry uptime and elemental devastation effects are factored in, crit probably moves up a little bit more, matching the sim values.

EnhSim 1.7.0 ...

I'm running the sim with my actual gear. I've ran it several different ways with the glyphs that I'm using, with no glyphs, and with single glyphs to sim out the DPS gains. For some reason everytime I sim with no Glyphs and with Lightning Shield Glyph they come out to be the same DPS.

Base DPS without Glyphs:
6205 DPS : Totem of Hex
6189 DPS : Totem of Dancing Flame

Lightning Shield Glyph:
6204 DPS : Totem of Hex (-1 DPS of Base Hex)
6189 DPS : Totem of Dancing Flame (Equal to Base Flame)

Any idea why this would sim the same?

This leads me to believe because of the T8 bonuses, that the 20% is not being applied for both but just once.

Do you have 'LS' enabled in your cast rotation? Posting your config file will enable us to actually help you rather than speculate.

Mr. Squiggly, first off it should be 10645 as of patch 3.1; please make sure you know the right answer before you correct someone else.

Next, if he doesn't have an Elemental Shaman but has a Resto Shaman then it should be 165 unless he has a Demo Lock and then the number becomes much more variable.

Why would anyone use Haste pots when Speed pots are available?

Ah Mr Rouncer/Rounced, its actually 10643!!! The initial calculations have been refined to this new "far more accurate"

figure as that extra 2 armour removed will make a huge difference to your dps.

Tempted to say "please make sure you know the right answer before you correct someone else." but you were almost right.

Anyway onto the real reason for my post. F.A.O. Tukez : I've added support in Rawr.Enhance v2.2.4 for the following EnhSim config options : combat_length, flask_elixir, guardian_elixir, bloodlust_casters, potion, food

Can you amend the copy from clipboard in v1.7.1 to expect these options on a Rawr import. v2.2.4 should be released tonight.

Good to know as the config.txt that comes with 1.7.0 has 10645 for armor.

EDIT: Tried to fix the typo but was banned before I could do it. Sorry if it offended anyone as it wasn't intended (double S on as = bad)

I know it wrong in the config.txt it was myself that last updated the config.txt for Tukez. That was prior to the confirmations on the Combat Stats at level 80 thread.

So as you can see the agreed value is now 10643. I posted a bug report for Tukez at EnhSim: Default config lvl 80 file invalid

Malan · 05/15/09, 10:33 AM

Didn't the 13k figure come from someone using beast lore on Maexxna though?

Yichimet · 05/15/09, 10:44 AM

I think the new 10k figure is post-3.1 after the % change to armor debuffs.

Sry for the wrong answer I've inquired about this twice before since 3.1 and no one has responded that 13k was incorrect. I did alot of reading on the subject to acquire the correct answer but apparently not enough. At least I finally got my answer I suppose.

"Haste" instead of "Speed" would be a typo.. though a detrimental one.
