2. Spirit points converting to Mana regeneration each second while Casting Formula :

2 Spirit when not cast is 1.25 Mana per 5 Seconds.
When you cast and have Meditation this will end up 2 Spirit while cast = 0.1875 Mana per 5 Seconds.
This will make us each 12 Spirit to gain 1.125 Mana per 5 seconds while cast.
60 Spirit will give us 5.625 Mana per 5 seconds.
This will result into 60 spirit giving us 1.125 Mana each second while casting thanks to Meditation. (2.25 with t2 3 pieces)
137 Spirit will result into 2.283 * 1.125 = 2.56 Mana each second while casting thanks to Meditation (5.12 with t2 3 pieces).

120 Intellect will result into 2 Spell Crit (60 Intellect = 1 Spell Crit).

3.Base DPS per Spell :

Mind Blast Rank 9 = 350 Mana doing 503-532 Damage + 15% Shadow Weaving + 10% Darkness + 15% ShadowForm = 731-773 Damage
With Improved Mind Blast 5/5 CD will be 5.5 Seconds + 1.5 Seconds Cast which results into : 104-110 DPS + x (unknown Crits).

Mind Flay Rank 6 = 205 Mana doing 426 Damage + 15% Shadow Weaving + 10% Darkness + 15% ShadowForm = 619 Damage divide to 3 tick/second = 206 DPS

Shadow Word: Pain Rank 8 = 470 Mana 852 Damage over 18 Seconds + Improved Shadow Word: Pain = 1136 Damage over 24 Seconds
1136 Damage + 15% Shadow Weaving + 10% Darkness + 15% ShadowForm = 1652 Damage over 24 Seconds divide to 24 seconds = 68 DPS

According to Sources : http://frankenraid.net/showthread.php?4 ... dow-priest 08-11-2006

4.Spell Damage Coefficient :

Improved Shadow Word: Pain: 133% (16.67% per tick)
Mind Blast: 43%
Mind Flay: 45% (15% per tick)

5.Maximum DPS over 25.5 and 51 seconds :

- Calculating max damage output by Mindblast but excluding Criticals, preformed with Base Mana + Spirit regenerated for the duration of time.
- Using personal Rotation for Maximum Damage Output
- Calculations are included with Shadow Weaving stacks but will not mention them during the seconds and you can notice the damage increase by abilities.
- I will calculate seconds wasted from Mind flay after the next Spell Cast.
- I will calculate Mind Blast after the cast.

1.5 Second Mind Blast 350 Mana 672 Damage - Shadow Word Pain 470 Mana , 3 Second Mind Flay 205 Mana 2 Tick 391 Damage , 4.5 Second Shadow Word: Pain tick 195 (1),5 Second Mind Flay 205 Mana 2 Tick 402 Damage , 7.5 Second Shadow Word: Pain 201 (2), 8.5 Second Mind Blast 350 Mana 753 Damage - Mind Flay 205 Mana 3 tick 618 Damage , 10.5 Second Shadow Word: Pain 206 Damage (3) , 13 Second Mind Blast 350 Mana 773 Damage - Mind Flay 3 tick 205 Mana 618 Damage, 13.5 Second Shadow Word: Pain 206 Damage (4),16.5 Second Shadow Word: Pain 206 Damage (5),17.5 Second Mind Blast 350 Mana 773 Damage - Mind Flay 3 tick 205 Mana 618 Damage, 19.5 Second Shadow Word: Pain 206 Damage (6), 22 Second Mind Blast 350 Mana 773 Damage - Mind Flay 3 tick 205 Mana 618 Damage , 22.5 Second Shadow Word: Pain 206 Damage (7), 25.5 Second Shadow Word: Pain 206 Damage (8)

Total casts/ticks: 5x Mind Blast Cast, 1x Shadow Word: Pain Cast, 6x Mind Flay Cast 16 Ticks (2x 2 Tick , 4x 4 Tick).
Mana Wasted: 1750 Mana Mind Blast , 470 Mana Shadow Word: Pain , 1230 Mana Mind Flay. 3450 Mana Total.
Mana Regenerated by Spirit Thanks to Meditation: 65 (130 thanks to T2 3 pieces).
Mana Finish: 3385 - Base Mana = 429 Mana Negative (364 with t2 3 pieces) "As Dwarf",(since we wasted too much, can include Inner Focus on Shadow Word: Pain we end up 41 Mana or 106 with t2 3 pieces).

Total Damage over 25.5 Second: 8641
Mind Blast : 3744 Damage
Shadow Word: Pain : 1632 Damage
Mind Flay : 3265 Damage

Total DPS over 25.5 Second : 338.xx
Mind Blast : 146.xx
Shadow Word: Pain : 64.xx
Mind Flay : 128.xx

Most efficient Mana Generate Consumes (calculating Maximum)Total: 3752 Mana
Demonic Rune : 900-1501
Major Mana Potion : 1350-2251

Our Base Mana + Mana Consumes Increased: 6708 Mana or 131 Mana per Second wasted over 51 Seconds (Excluding Inner Focus).
Casting Spells will result into : 6770 Mana wasted over 51 Seconds or 132 Mana per Second "660 Mp5"(Excluding Inner Focus).
137 Spirit will result:130 Mana over 51 Seconds (it was included in previous calculations) (with t2 3 piece will go up to 260 Mana).

- With this we conclude that Intellect have no Value if we exclude Critical Strikes for the Duration of Fights until 51 Seconds (less/more).
- Without Consumes 25.5 Seconds (less/more).
- With Consumes 51 Seconds (less/more).

6.Stats Priority for long Duration of fight (excluding Wand,HiT and Crit):

31 Intellect versus 31 Spell Damage per 10 seconds difference:

31 Spell Damage = 41.23 Damage by Shadow Word: Pain + Bonuses = 59.97 Damage / 24 = 2.49 DPS
31 Spell Damage = 13.95 Damage by Mind Flay + Bonuses = 20.29 Damage / 3 = 6.76 DPS
31 Spell Damage = 13.33 Damage by Mind Blast + Bonuses = 19.39 Damage / 7 = 2.77 DPS
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 Total DPS

31 Intellect = 1652 Damage per Mana gained by Shadow Word: Pain (max Rank)
31 Intellect = 1020 Damage per Mana gained by Mind Blast (Ranks combinations to suit the mana)
31 Intellect = 1398 Damage per Mana gained by Mind Flay (Ranks combinations to suit the mana)

- Keep note that in longer fight than 51 Seconds, your Spell Damage will loose Value since you are out of Mana after Base Mana+Consumes (Major Mana Potion and Demonic Runes) are Wasted.
- For 4 Minutes fight Mana is increased (Because of twice using Pots/Runes) and duration is increased up to 76.5 Seconds from Base Stats and Consumes which cause direct effects to Spell Damage Values and Intellect.

240 Seconds fight will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 /(240 - 76.5 "Base+Consumes") = 0.07 DPS
31 Intellect = 6.88 DPS by Shadow Word: Pain, 4.25 DPS by Mind Blast, 5.82 DPS by Mind Flay

120 Seconds Fight will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 /(120 - 51 "Base+Consumes") = 0.17 DPS
31 Intellect = 13.76 DPS by Shadow Word: Pain, 8.5 DPS by Mind Blast, 11.65 DPS by Mind Flay

110 Seconds Fight will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 /(110 - 51 "Base+Consumes") = 0.20 DPS
31 Intellect = 15.01 DPS by Shadow Word: Pain, 9.27 DPS by Mind Blast, 12.70 DPS by Mind Flay

100 Seconds Fight will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 /(100 - 51 "Base+Consumes") = 0.24 DPS
31 Intellect = 16.52 DPS by Shadow Word: Pain, 10.2 DPS by Mind Blast, 13.98 DPS by Mind Flay.

90 Seconds Fight will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 /(90 - 51 "Base+Consumes") = 0.30 DPS
31 Intellect = 18.35 DPS by Shadow Word: Pain, 11.33 DPS by Mind Blast, 15.53 DPS by Mind Flay.

80 Seconds Fight will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 /(80 - 51 "Base+Consumes") = 0.41 DPS
31 Intellect = 20.65 DPS by Shadow Word: Pain, 12.75 DPS by Mind Blast, 17.47 DPS by Mind Flay.

70 Seconds Fight will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 /(70 - 51 "Base+Consumes") = 0.63 DPS
31 Intellect = 17.7 DPS by Shadow Word: Pain, 14.57 DPS by Mind Blast, 19.97 DPS by Mind Flay.

60 Seconds Fight will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 /(60 - 51 "Base+Consumes") = 1.33 DPS
31 Intellect = 10.32 DPS by Shadow Word: Pain, 17 DPS by Mind Blast, 27.53 DPS by Mind Flay

50 Seconds Fight or lower will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 DPS "Base+Consumes"
31 Intellect = 0 DPS

20 Seconds Fight or lower will result:
31 Spell Damage = 12.02 DPS "Base"
31 Intellect = 0 DPS

7.Mp5 and Spirit results :

- From 6708 Mana wasted over 51 seconds it will result in 657 Mp5, you will do 17282 Damage or 338 DPS over 51 Seconds by Max Rank Shadow Damage Abilities.
- Where 657 Mp5 = 131.4 Mana per Second = 338 DPS.
- We can conclude that each 2.57 Mana per Second = 1 DPS or for more accurate information 12.85 Mp5 = 1 DPS for Entire duration of fight.

Calculations are made while Casting :
31 Mp5 / 5 = 6.2 per second * 51 = 316.2 Mana over 51 Seconds or 2.41 DPS.
31 Spirit = 2.81 Mp5(while casting with Meditation) / 5 = 0.56 per second * 51 = 28.56 Mana over 51 Seconds or 0.20 DPS , with T2 3 pieces = 57.12 Mana over 51 Seconds or 0.40 DPS .

8.Just to Note :

- Hit Rating i did not include, because HiT Cap is mandatory and i am not sure how to Theory that.
- Crit will change values to both Intellect and Spell Damage and is quite hard to get accurate or close Theory about that, since it Crits per Chance and only for Mind Blast.
- Intellect and Spell Damage both scale together, where in longer than 60-70 Seconds fight Intellect will have highest Value, while in shorter than 60-50 seconds fight Intellect become useless and Spell Damage is most Value stat.
- For fights where you can Multidot such as C'thun,KT,Neffarian,Ragnaros,Majordommo etc Intellect is your Major Stat together with Mp5 and Spirit.

9.Mana required for X duration of fight:
(starting from 51 seconds rule which is Base Stats+Consumes)

51 Seconds = 6708 Mana
60 Seconds = 7890 Mana
70 Seconds = 9198 Mana
80 Seconds = 10512 Mana
90 Seconds = 11826 Mana
100 Seconds = 13140 Mana
110 Seconds = 14454 Mana
120 Seconds = 15768 Mana
240 Seconds = 31536 Mana

10.Maximum Mp5 Required for infinite duration of fights to replace completely Intellect: 657

11.Intellect required for X duration of fight:
(starting from 51 seconds rule which is Base Stats+Consumes)
(2 Minutes is from 74 seconds rule because of twice consumes used)

51 Seconds = 0 Intellect (120 Base+0)= 120 Intellect
60 Seconds = 79 Intellect (120 Base+79)= 199 Intellect
70 Seconds = 166 Intellect (120 Base+166)= 286 Intellect
80 Seconds = 253 Intellect (120 Base+253)= 373 Intellect
90 Seconds = 341 Intellect (120 Base+341)= 461 Intellect
100 Seconds = 428 Intellect (120 Base+428)= 548 Intellect
110 Seconds = 516 Intellect (120 Base+516)= 636 Intellect
120 Seconds = 604 Intellect (120 Base+604)= 724 Intellect
240 Seconds = 1405 Intellect (120 Base+1405)= 1525 Intellect

12.Notes:

- We can see now how much Mp5 (or) Intellect is required for X duration of fight in order to make our +Spell Damage scale Maximum by it's Spell Damage coefficient for the duration of time explained.
- Keep in mind that you don't need full amount of Intellect or Mp5 explained if you combine it together, you need to find your own Balance between both.
- Explanation for 240 Seconds is the final and maximum cap for Intellect (anything more than that is wasted and have 0 value).

13.Outside and random calculations included (Warning it can be confused because they don't explain their roles):
