A Call to Arms - MoP Mechanics Testing

Well, if the damage is based on weapon damage

Wouldn't you say the tooltip is as advertised? I'll do a HotR using an epic, to see if HotR actually does damage.

But yeah, the nova part of HotR was not doing anything to other dummies within 8 yds of my target...

It depends on which part you mean. The tooltip doesn't specify normalized vs. un-normalized damage, which refers to the AP scaling. In other words, is it:
net_weapon_damage = base_weapon_damage + 2.4*AP/14 (normalized, 1h weapon)
or
net_weapon_damage = base_weapon_damage + base_weapon_speed*AP/14 (un-normalized)

HotR used to use un-normalized, but this new version is using normalized. That's almost certainly an intentional change, as normalized is more common (CS, TV are both normalized). Oddly, seals still use un-normalized damage.

If you're talking about the nova, then no - weapon damage has an AP component, so the damage should go up with AP. The fact that it doesn't means that the ability is bugged (as does the 0-range issue). It was probably only half-implemented by the time this beta patch was applied.

Q:Latest finds from doing hitting dummies for an hour.

* Judgment can be dodge/parried from 30 yds away
* Hammer of the Righteous is really bugged.
---- Nova is doing only 1-2 damage at several AP levels
---- It really only hits for 0 yds.

So, blues might want to check this... if that's ok with you... that is...

A:These are simple bugs, and are fixed for the next build. Also, a clarification on the previous update about Judgment and its interaction with seals: Seal of Truth will affect Judgment (both damage and Censure application). The other seals will not.

We'll have to double-check them anyway once they go live, but I'm assuming he's including J being dodged/parried in the list of bugs. Should be easy to test again once we get a new build - L93 dummy, 0 expertise, wail away with J until you see a dodge/parry (or 0 in 100 casts).

[Klaudandus]

sure thing.

Daishan : filtered log; WoG/HaWord doesn't trigger DEs (WS/EF).

SotR casts

2353-4710 dmg(1393 dps)
AP 7070
SP 3535

hmm might not be enough Elemental Force data let me know if you need more of that.

[daishan]

I've finally found a Dancing Steel enchant, I'll use it for test #3.
Just wanted to check that you don't have any other tests for Dancing Steel that need a specific weapon speed? (I'm only level 86)

[daishan]

Test #6:

Spell vulnerability, couldn't find willing lock so did a few auto attacks on the pally then re-logged onto a lock applied curse of elements then logged back, I did this twice re starting logs after each re-log

Obsidium Cleaver normal
speed 2.6
2008-3731 dmg(1103 dps)
AP 6980
SP 3490

Daishan : filtered log; SotR doesn't trigger DEs.

Daishan : filtered log; the observed maximum is ~4.6% higher than EF's default-state maximum.

[theckhd]

tlitp: do you need glancing data (#29) from an 88 vs. a 90 dummy, or is Pyrea's data set (lvl 1 vs. lvl 3) sufficient?

[tlitp]

Pyrea : glancing blows are reconfirmed to be functionally identical to 4.0 (vs +2 : 18% chance, 10-20% damage reduction averaging at 15%).


EDIT : In order to finish tackling DEs for good we need some parses for River's Song and Colossus. The methodology is identical to #4 : only AAs, low-level dummy, at least 1h duration.
