New savant SLA DPS numbers

[Monkey_Archer]

Hmm... seems the thread was hijacked

Anyway, as promised some more realistic numbers for typical trash nuking, or multiple sorcs in raids:

An 8 second, 5 spell cycle that does not require quicken and has time gaps for clicky uses. It can be thought of as the sorc's typical single target trash nuking cycle, or the typical dps a 2nd sorc can do in a raid setting assuming the first sorc does all the DOTS.

1 Polar ray
2 Niacs
3 Frost lance
4
5 Polar ray
6 Niacs
7
8
<repeat>

Damage per cycle:
2077 polar ray x2
511.3 niacs x2
575.2 frost lance
------
3163.5 damage / 8 seconds = 395.4 dps

sp cost per cycle:
92 polar ray x2
4 niacs x2
6 frost lance
---
102 / 8 seconds = 12.75 sp/sec

Sustainable for 235 seconds (3.9 minutes) with 3000 sp

Replacing 1 polar ray with snowball swarm would decrease to 288.1 dps, but allow it to be sustained for 393 seconds (6.6 minutes)


A 6 second AOE nuking cycle.

1 <clicky/ice storm>
2
3 ottilukes
4 cone of cold
5 snowball swarm
6
<repeat>

Damage per cycle:
563.2 ice storm x 3 ticks
689 ottilukes
539.2 cone of cold
179.7 snowball swarm
-----
1971 damage / 6 seconds = 328.5 dps

sp cost per cycle:
10.2 icestorm /5
63 ottilukes
62 cone of cold
5 snowball swarm
---
140.2 / 6 seconds = 23.4 sp/sec

Sustainable for 128 seconds (2.1 minutes)


Mana dump without DOTS (assuming another sorc does that already) with eardweller and quicken.

1 <clicky/curse>
2 Polar ray
