gerade (durch mmo-champ) auf deinen blog gestoßen.

spiele zwar derzeit kein wow, aber werde wohl meinen schami weiterzocken demnächst.
die informationen sind sehr hilfreich, … muss mir mal genau anschaun wie stark der enhancer nun ist im pve.

To test the Windfury Glyph on PTR I decided to do an autoattack series and look at the difference on live and PTR. To reduce RNG I decided to make the series about 1h long each and not use any special attacks.

The good news at first, indeed the Series had way more Windfury procs on PTR. Live Windfury Attacks: 683 versus PTR Windfury Attacks: 854

That was no surprise due to the change from the Glyph from:
“The attack power bonus on the additional attacks granted by Windfury Weapon is increased by 40%.”
to
“Increases the chance per swing for Windfury Weapon to trigger by 5%.”

But now things become odd. Windfury Wepaon gives 1250 AP + 212 from Totem of Splintering. On PTR I would have a 1462 Windfury AP Bonus and on Live 2047 Winfury AP Bonus. So I expected Windfury Hits to drop about 100-150 per hit.

Enh. Autoattack Live 3.0 – with Totem of Splintering
http://wowwebstats.com/altn2rmj45rea
Avgerage hit: 1556; Max hit: 1850
Average crit: 3203; Max crit: 3788

Enh. Autoattack PTR 3.0 – with Totem of Splintering
http://wowwebstats.com/skoeu4gujfqza
Average hit: 1564; Max hit: 1906
Avgerage crit: 3212; Max crit: 3815

As you can see the numbers are pretty much the same. This means a) The glyph is not working on live b) The glyph still gives +40% AP on PTR and the 5% increased chance to apply Windfury (my favourite)

Not knowing if I should report it, since we get a bigger chance to apply WF and keep the damage I got kind of restless about the subject. I started to wonder if +windfury damage was working at all and did another series on Live. I am currently using the totem of Splintering from Badges, which gives +212 AP to Windfury and decided to take it off.

Enh. Autoattack Live 3.0 – no Totem of Splintering
http://wowwebstats.com/krhtaeuzzo1te?a=xade4a3
Average hit: 1557; Max Hit 1854
Avgerage crit: 3232; Max crit: 3778

As you can see after 714 Windfury hits/crit they average out at the same number as the other tests above. In all sets I had the same gear, same totems, same lonely Level 80 target dummy in exodar with no debuffs. Maybe I am overlooking something and thus would like to get some information on the subject.

On all the tries it semeed that my dps on ptr was varying between 1550-1620 on recount it was 1650-1720 on live, by autoattacks. I did a couple of recount only tests first, but when the results above started to show I decided to look deeper into it.

Another thing that puzzled me was that I had a higher missrate on PTR and thus less damage even though I had 25% more windfury damage done on ptr, which should be the only diffrence really. My items had the same hit rating, talent tooltip haven’t changed either. Maybe there are some issues with the Draenei Racial? It would be nice if you could look into that aswell.

Thanks for reading and hopefully passing on.
