archmage evocation sla spam

[erikbozelie]

how much dps is the evocation magic missile and chain missile spam these days?
i know they where prolonged, so my questions are as followed:

what is the time to activate magic missile and chain missile.
what is the cool down for magic missile and chain missile.
how many times does 1 bolt from chain missile hits? how many secondary targets?

my own dps calc:

lets assume 18% crit range with 2.75 crit mod.(31,5% aditional damage).

magic missile
5d2 + 15 = 22.5 average * 2 maximize * 1,5 empower * 1,75 clikie / pot * 1,4 enhancements * 1,315 crit = 217

chain missile
10d2 + 30 = 45 damage * 2 maximize * 1,5 empower * 1,75 clikie / pot * 1,4 enhancements * 1,315 crit = 434 damage. plus secondairy targets.

if they have 6 seconds cooldown and an 1 second casting animation:
300/7 = 7,5 times spam.

7,5 * (217 + 434) = 4882,5 / 60 = 81 dps.

the enhancements go higher, up to +50% now for each type post U9, not sure if the crit amounts change

With the lengthened cooldowns, could you add in arcane bolt to the mix?



*also - MM SLA costs 2sp now (maximize on) despite the description saying it only costs 1sp, unknown for chain-missles etc*

300/7 = 7,5 times spam.

7,5 * (217 + 434) = 4882,5 / 60 = 81 dps.

This is not the right equation. The damage of spells are calculated this way:

Spell damage * (1 + 1.0 if maximize + 0.5 if empowered) * (1 + Potency + Enhancements)
With your data, mm would do: 22.5 * 2.5 (Empower & Maximize) * 2.15 (Clicky + Enhancements) * 1.315 (Critics) = 159
And Chain missile: 45 * 2.5 * 2.15 * 1.315 = 318
Your final dps would be, with 6 sec. cooldown and 1 sec. casting: (159 + 318) / 7 = 68 dps.

how would you put the eardweller into this equation?
ow and, how many secondairy hits does the chain missile have?

i think the cooldown of spells have overlapping cooldowns. so we should even be able to spam them even more right?

The DPS is now bad enough (due to the significant cooldown increases alongside only slightly increased damage) that I'm ditching the Evoc offspec on my Archmage, despite having made an Epic Robe of Dissonance for the spec.

I'll keep the eDissonanceRobe to situationally equip for its unique defensive abilities only.

I used to take about 25 seconds to take down ~5000hp dancing epic mobs with it.

holy mackerel

5000/ 25 = 200 dps? ;o.
