bear form does not use your weapon as a modifier

Spirit regenned is 13 + (Spirit/4)

Strength affect the amount of damage you can block. How is that calculated?

I play a druid specced for healing and a little side tanking. it seems this page was meant to be most informative to hunters and rogues... im trying to find what stats do what, and my sources are dwindling.

as far as i can tell...

• 25 defense = 1% dodge
  

• defense skill has no effect on damage reduc indicator through armor points
  

• damage reduction per armor point becomes less effective with more armor
  

  (^this might confuse some people)

• 1 intel = 10 mana
  

• 100 intel = 1% to crit?!?! is this true? seems a little low...
  

• spirit gives health and mana regen... how much?
  

• agility gives crit% dodge% armor# to hit% ranged attack power
  

but how much???

• strength gives melee attack power and is the only way to increase base damage in animal form...
  

• 1 stamina = 10 health ... thats it ...
  

unless im missing something

ok... so what im wondering is exactly how much defense effects every aspect of damage reduction... meaning dodge%, parry%, -crushing blows%... and how it compares to armor's reduction in damage... should i collect massive armor gear? or massive defense gear? or massive agility gear?

this so called formulas page is very incomplete...
is there another website somewhere that has all this information?


and for you curious druids out there, here's some fun bearform facts...

• armor enchants do not multiply in bear form
  

(rugged armor kit gives 40 armor regardless of shapeshifting)

• 1 agility = 2 armor (also regardless of shifting)
  

• Weapon speed, weapon DPS, and weapon procs, have absolutely no effect in animal form. but strength does increase your base damage.
  

Here it is: The Block/Parry Chance Formula:

Block Chance is only affected by your Defense Skill Rating and Level.

Block_Chance = 5 - (Level*5 - Current_Naked_Defense)*0.04 + (Current_Defense - Current_Naked_Defense)*0.04

The Current_Naked_Defense Variable is your Defense Skill when you are wearing absolutly nothing (no items that would give you a Defense Bonus)

So your Maximum Block Chance (Base, you can always get items and skills that give you a block chance bonus) is 5% (if you don't have any Items that give you a Defense Bonus)

And, a Level 1 Char can have the 5% Block Chance as well as a Level 60 Char.

Each time you gain a Level, your Maximum Defense Skill rises by 5 Points, effectivly dropping your Block Chance by 0.2
For each Defense Point you gain 0.04 Block Chance.

Here is an Example (without any items that give you +Maximum_Defense):

Level 1 Char:
Has 1 Point in Defense, Current_Naked_Defense is also 1
=> Block Chance is 4.84%

Level 59 Char:
294 Defense, Current_Naked_Defense is also 294
=> Block Chance is 4.96%

Once he Levels up (now Level 60):

294 Defense, Current_Naked_Defense is also 294 (just the same values as above)
=> Block Chance is 4.76%



Here is an Example of a Level 60 Warrior:

+7% Block Chance items.
+5% Bock Chance because of Talent.
----------------------------------
+12% Block Chance


+102 Defense Skill by items.

300 Current_Naked_Defense, 402 Current Defense (with items)

Block_Chance = 5 - (60*5 - 300)*0.04 + (402-300)*0.04
=> Block_Chance = 9.08

Overall Block Chance:
9.08 + 12 => 21.08% Block Chance


Thats all.

Maybe this Formula is incorrect, so please go ahead and check it for yourself. If you think it is wrong, then post your Values so i can adjust the Formula.

You guys didn't seem to have this, so I'll give it to ya. If anybody is wondering if the +x wep damage enchants for 1h and 2h's help, they do.

WoW calculates dps like this:

Wep damage added together divided by two, then divided by the speed of the weapon. Example : Lets say we have a dagger that does 50-100 damage, and it's speed is 1.50.

((50+100)/2)/1.5
((150)/2)/1.5
(75)/1.5
50.00
The weapon's dps would be 50.00 WITHOUT any enchants.

This is how the enchant works.. Not +x to every hit.

Lets say we take the same dagger, and add a +5 weapon damage enchant to it.

((55+105)/2)/1.5
((160)/2)/1.5
(80)/1.5
53.3
The weapon's dps would be 53.3 dps WITH the +5 enchant. The dagger gained 3.3 dps from the enchant, but this was only a dagger, try using this formula with other weapons and see what you come out with.

Here is the complete list of the ep you need on a level to get the lvl up.

The mob per level is calculated completely without ep, which you gain from quests and discovering areas.

Have fun^^

All i want to know is how to calculate critical hits, so far i've come up with an excel spread sheet which i use to calculate average Bs's and ambushes, aswell as Sinister strikes, but i want to know how to calculate criticals for the hell of it, most games simple say a critical is double the normal amount of damage, is this the same for WoW? is it a constant? or something entirely different?

The contribution of +damage/heal depends on the base cast time of the spell (unaffected by talents or buffs).  There exist many exceptions. 

Lower ranks (1-3) do not follow this formula;
Healing Touch 4 = 3/3.5 = 85.71%
Healing Touch 5-11 = 3.5/3.5 = 100%

+Heal is split in half between frontload and HOT portions;
Regrowth 9 frontload = 2/3.5/2 = 28.57%
Regrowth 9 HOT (21 sec) = 3.5/3.5/2 = 50%

Rejuvenation 10 is hard capped at 80%

Tranquility does not follow this formula; around ~34.19%

Starfire (all ranks) = 3.5/3.5 = 100%

Lower ranks at L60 do not follow this formula;
Wrath 9 = 2/3.5 = 57.14%

Same as regrowth, uses a 1 sec cast time (instant);
Moonfire 10 frontload = 1/3.5/2= 14.28%
Moonfire 10 DOT (12 sec) = 3.5/3.5/2 = 50%

Uses 1 sec cast time (due to the instant proc talent);
Entangling roots (final ranks) = 1/3.5 = 28.57%

Insect Swarm at L60 does not follow this formula, approximately ~91.67%

Hurricane does not follow this formula, approximately ~17%

Everybody just go here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas_and_Game_Mechanics

Resilience (I believe is only PVP but I'm usually wrong)

40 Resilience = -1% chance to be crit, -2% Damage taken FROM crits.

so 100 Resil = -2.5% chance to be crit and -5% Crit damage. This means that to offset a Hunters +30% Crit damage you need 600 Resil. (Which would be -15% chance to be crit and -30% crit damage.)

Resilience is to Crit
as
Dodge is to Hit.

it really helped for me.

Something else good to know is that the armor formula presented above is only for levels 59 and below.

The 60+ formula is:

Damage Reduction = (Armor / (Armor - 22167.5 + 467.5 * Level))

I have verified this with the numerous random characters in the armoury and it always works out exactly right.

Also it is good to know that the "level" given in both calculations is the enemies level, not your level.  The number given on your character sheet is based on an enemy of your same level, so you will immediately see drop in mitigation on your character sheet when you ding level 60.  However, in reality against level 60+ mobs you have always had that same lower level of mitigation.

This also means that if you are in your early 60's, and you get hit a lot (warrior, paladin, rogue, etc.), you will likely find yourself taking considerably less damage from level 59 mobs than level 60. Therefore, some players may find grinding on level 59's until they give no more XP may be far more effective than fighting level 60 and higher mobs.
