Damage Formula

this is just a re-post of my blog at http://longlasting-warcraft.blogspot.sg/2015/11/623-ability-damage-formula.html

There are some changes to our formula in 6.2.3

Due to the valor upgrades, our class receive around 8% buff to CS, J, HoW, TV, FV, SoT and Censure. I heard the main reason is because other classes scale better with higher item-level and this buff will help us to be on par with them.

Most of the formula I tested seems to be correct except these 3 skills:

Hammer of Wrath - My testing result at 240% instead of 259.2%

Hammer of the Righteous - My testing result at 41% physical instead of 42%. But the holy damage is perfectly fine at 24%.

Execution Sentence - My testing result at 867.60% instead of 914.20%


Character Stats

This is the stats i used during my testing & calculations:

Strength = 7357
Versatility = 3.00%

Weapon Speed = 3.60
Weapon Damage (Lowest) = 2408
Weapon Damage (Highest) = 3613


Additional Notes

If you want to test out the formulas yourself, remember to remove items that have a proc effect such as Spellbound Runic Band of Elemental Power.

I've tested on the Garrison Dummy (Level 102) for hours and the estimated armor physical reduction for the dummy is around 33.3%

Note: 1 Strength = 1 Attack Power = 1 Spell Power

Attack power increases your base DPS by 1 for every 3.5 attack power

Crit = 2 times normal damage. If you are a tauren (racial buff crit by 2%), then Crit = 2.04 times normal damage

Sword of Light is a passive 30% buff that affects most of our abilities when we are wielding a 2-hander weapon


Melee Auto Attack

100% Weapon Damage as Physical Damage
Physical damage takes into consideration of target armor reduction

Formula = ((Attack_Power ÷ 3.5 x Weapon_Speed) + Weapon_Damage) x Versatility x Sword_Of_Light x Armor_Reduction

Lowest = ((7357 ÷ 3.5 x 3.6) + 2408) x 1.03 x 1.3 x 0.667 = 8908.98
Highest = ((7357 ÷ 3.5 x 3.6) + 3613) x 1.03 x 1.3 x 0.667 = 9985.18

After testing, result shows my melee auto attack damage between 8906 to 9968


Crusader Strike

130% Weapon Damage as Physical Damage
2H Weapon Normalization is 3.3
Physical damage take into consideration of target armor reduction

Formula = ((Attack_Power ÷ 3.5 x Weapon_Normalize) + Weapon_Damage) x Versatility x Crusader_Strike_130% x Sword_Of_Light x Armor_Reduction

Lowest = ((7357 ÷ 3.5 x 3.3) + 2408) x 1.03 x 1.3 x 1.3 x 0.667 = 10848.52
Highest = ((7357 ÷ 3.5 x 3.3) + 3613) x 1.03 x 1.3 x 1.3 x 0.667 = 12248.58

After testing, result shows my crusader strike damage between 10848 to 12223
