Iksar Shaman - Solo Challenges?

[Troxx]

Bcbrown, thanks for trying. Your math skills are clearly well above mine, but you did a good job explaining it and given the dynamics of a long duration proc you are correct. You cannot simply assume that the dot, on average, will be up for 50% of every fight.

Especially when the delay of the weapon is so far below the cast time of this weapon.

Whatever your proc per minute should be, you’re gonna have to nearly cut that in half because the bracer has an 8 second cast time

I do appreciate Bcbrown for trying. He simply didn't succeed. Same with yourself earlier in the thread.

I am not sure what the benefit is to your argument of quibbiling over ~1 DPS when we were never including the white damage or the 0.15 extra PPM to being with. It doesn't tip the scales anyway in the DoT Shaman's favor. You would almost certainly end up with ~2 DPS after white damage minimum even if you wanted to reduce the damage.

I also just did a test in game with a 50 delay weapon while spamming JBB. You actually get 1 swing after JBB no matter what, because the timer refreshes during the JBB cast. So you actually get 8 swings per minute instead of 6, just as an FYI.

No shit Sherlock. That’s how the game works. Unless your weapon delay is over 80 (and without any spell or worn haste), you will get 1 swing with each JBB click (8 sec cast time)

Did you not already know that?
