Awesome, thanks! I’ll fiddle around with the game some more when I get back, was too busy today to log in. Vacations are so much work! ;D

I will see if I can get some updated numbers tonight for you. Enjoy Blizzcon!

It would depend if holy power multiplies the spell output or the base value. It would make more sense for it to multiply the output (which would give us a final coefficient of 0.66), but it needs to be checked.

Aaand now that they boosted all our spells, none of these values are accurate anymore anyway

Well, if the coefficient is multiplied by the number of holy power points, a 3-pt WoG has a .66 coefficent.

That’s pretty close to the Holy Shock coefficient, and it would make sense that the two spells would scale at the same rate since they are tied together.

Actually, I might have to check WoG again. I assumed the coefficient stayed the same regardless of holy power points and the values I used were for 1 point, but now that I think of it, it’ll be good to verify.

AHHH Word of Glory has terrible scaling. What are they thinking with that coefficient?

[...] 12) Our spell coefficients have changed. Thanks to Ophelie from The Bossy Pally and the Giant Spoon for doing all the scary math for us. Here are the new spell coefficients. [...]

You’re both right =) I was mainly playing, but yeah I should be fine. I just hate being the reason for wipes, so I’ll drag some guildies into LFD with me that are in mid-70′s to test out the new toolbox and healing mechanics on them. I really wish I would have hit 80 prior to this patch, but getting Kingslayer on my Rogue took up too much time.

WoW calculates your potential hit range for you using the coefficients and your spell power. Just mouse over the tooltip. You have the option of displaying your range or the average.

Just to be sure, I compared the numbers WoW gave me with my cast strength (I did about 50 casts on three different occasions for HL and DL, I did Holy Shock 30 times) and DL and HL seemed accurate (less than 100 away than my max and min casts for DL, HL). Note that I tested my casts in ret spec so that Conviction wouldn’t skew the values (I’ll have to redo Holy Shock to make sure the tooltip is right for that one…it occured to me that I would have tested it holy). I didn’t notice any ret talents that would influence the strength of my heals.

EDIT: Actually I didn’t really measure up WoG the way I should have, I’ll go over that one again.
EDIT2: Realized that I was in holy spec when casting Holy Shock, will redo that one in a Holy spec without Conviction.
