WoG calculation

[Celyn]

Hi.

I did not see anything on this (probably missed it sorry) and Im not sure if i should ask this here or in the Basic training forum. What is the formula for determining the heal from Word of glory. Wowheads seems to have it messed up and according to this post in the official wow forums:

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1406258637#2

Word of Glory Per Holy Power
Instant
Word of Glory is a funny spell. It's got an attack power coefficient portion, but my in game testing suggests that it is NOT multiplied by K. Not really significant except to rets and prots. We can generally ignore the AP portion, since we're lucky to have 100 AP.
K = (1 + .1 WitL + .05 SoI + .1 WoG Glyph)*1.06 Divinity *1.09 Conviction*1.3 WitL WoG = 1.8775
Heal = (2038 + 0.209*SP)*K + 0.19799*AP = 7117

This looks off to me and the part where she says that the AP portion can be ignored has me pondering if this is really the way its calculated.

Wouldnt it be:

Heal=(2038+0.209*SP+0.19799*AP)*K

This makes more sense as divinity inceases healing by 6%.

This is my armory:

So for me healing myself wouldn't K be:

(1+0.1 WoG glyph)*1.06*1.06Divinity*1.1 GbtL=K

K=1.2826

Assuming I gain 14371ap from max vengeance, 769str (1537AP) from raid buffs for a total of 23833 AP/28600 (BoM) AP and an sp of (2406 unbuffed and 461 from TBL/str so 2867*1.06 Arcane Brill*1.10 Totem of wrath) 3342.

My max WoG per Holy power non-crit would be:

Heal=(2038+0.209*3342+0.19799*28600)*1.2826=10773

So 32,318 heal non crit with 3 Holy power/64635 crit heal?

So with AW it would be 77562 heal and with Guardian spirit the penultimate maximum heal would be 124,100 crit heal right?

Or is the formula from the page i linked correct and the numbers would be

Heal=((2038+0.209*3342)*1.2826+0.19799*28600)=9172

For a maximum crit heal of 105,665?

This may be helpful, it's some LUA code I wrote a while ago.

Code: Select all

local L = UnitLevel("player");
  if L < 9 then
    return 0;
  end
 
  local base =
  {
    345,354,363,367.5,372,390,408,420,438,

  };
 
  local m = (0.594 * AP);
  if L >= 10 then -- Vengeance
    -- Base health is level / race dependant, this value is stolen from matlabadin.
    local basehealth = 43285;
    m = m + 0.0594 * (MODEL_STAM + (0.1 * basehealth));
  end
  m = base[L-9] + (m *((RAID_10AP == true) and 1.1 or 1));
  return
  (
    (
      1 +

        ) +
        (GetSpellCritChance(2)/100)
      )
    )
    *
    m
  );

Sorry a bit of a programming noob. Is there a site where i can put this into a program?

[theckhd]

Our testing earlier in Cataclysm suggested the AP contribution scales with most of the effects that are included in that poster's K. I'm not sure where they're getting their information.

The formula we use for WoG is:

Code: Select all

raw.WordofGlory=    (2133+0.2086.*player.hsp+0.1984.*player.ap).*player.hopo ...
                    .*(1-exec.overh).*mdf.Divin.*mdf.GbtL.*(1+mdf.glyphWoG+mdf.glyphSoI);


Most of those variables should be fairly obvious; everything on the second line is K.

Thank you BOTH very much for the replies!

Sorry i must have missed that thread. Ill try and search better next time.
