DPS Mage
Example of the Math Mastery for Mages Assumption: Mastery rating gives you 10% damage increase based on mana Your base is 10,000 dps Math in your head at 10% mana, 10,100 damage, which corresponds to the normal damage value increased by 1% (10% of the 10% increase from Mana Adept). at 25% mana, 10,250 damage, which corresponds to the normal damage value increased by 2.5% (25% of the 10% increase from Mana Adept). at 50% mana, 10,500 damage, which corresponds to the normal damage value increased by 5% (50% of the 10% increase from Mana Adept). at 75% mana, 10,750 damage, which corresponds to the normal damage value increased by 7.5% (75% of the 10% increase from Mana Adept). at 100% mana, 11,000 damage, which corresponds to the normal damage value increased by 10% (100% of the 10% increase from Mana Adept).
Sounds Easy. Right?
Now.. Which do you choose? Increase Mana (Intellect)? Increase Mastery? Lower Hit rating to increase Mastery? Lower Critical Strike Rate to increase Intellect? Oh what about those pesky new patch notes :D
What do groups want in DPS? MAX NUMBERS!!!!! Rogue video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e59OZrXzRmw Shaman video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH2LLykqGeg
