[PvP] The BiS for the current content (updated for 1.8!)

[sumail]

Okay I relooked at everything and I found one reason the spell damage coefficient was off. I forgot that I have 3/3 in piecing ice which is basically a 1.06 damage multiplier.

For determining the base damage I went ahead and attacked mobs while having 0 sp.

Average damage ranges were:
479-516 (avg 497.5)

Since I have 3/3 piecing ice the base damage at 0 spell power will be 497.5/1.06 = 469.3.

The frostbolt spellpower coefficient does actually make a difference when comparing spellpower to hit/crit. If you change the coefficient it changes how important spellpower becomes. I can show why this is true if you are skeptical.

I did some testing at different spellpowers and back calculated a spellpower coefficient of 0.84. Now the difference between using 0.84 and 0814 only changes the ratio by ~0.10 spellpower so It doesn't matter much anyway. I can show how I come up with 0.84 as the coefficient if anyone wants to know, I just don't want to make things confusing.

Isnt the ZG enchant 18 SP?

[Ana]

Yes it's 18. You can get 30 AP instead (which you shouldn't as a mage, obviously )

Oops, fixed!

It seems that nefarian is bugged on vanillagaming, do we have any idea about the drop rate for Mish'undare, Staff of the Shadow Flame,and Neltharion's Tear?

[vinceyoung]

BWL loot tables seem messed up. Seems like all non set nef loot has equal chance of dropping. I think the loot should be like how it is shown in this EJ post: http://forums.elitistjerks.com/forums/t ... wl/?page=1

Not really complaining though, on Nost sometimes nef drops 3 non set items and it has a chance to be something like triple tear or triple staff.

[Lazermon]

Yes, loot tables are fucked up for sure.
