1.12 & Expansion Calculator is out


DPS Calculator for 1.12 and expansion talents is unploaded.

A few Specifications:
Disembowel: Attack power scaling is unknown, so it is simulated as identical to Eviscerate. Target is presumed to have 5/5 application of Deadly poison on it (because of how poisons are programmed, it is very difficult to include Disembowel).

Improved Kidney Shot damage was impossoble to include it directly into skills (because of DoT skills), so the total damage is multiplied by the time Kidney Shot was active.

Mutilate is counted with Weapons Speed Normalization.

Shiv is counted without Weapon Speed Normalization.

Surprise Attacks is not Evaluated. I am still unsure how I want to intergrate Surprise Attacks since mob defenses aren't taken into consideration. For a good estimation, you could manually count it as 5% more damage while using Sinister Strike and Backstab on most monsters and characters not based on agility.

World of Warcraft patch 1.12 has a bug with Deadliness. It doesn't affect Rupture, Garotte or Range attack power. So it has been removed from the calculator to emulate the game as most as possible. Once the bug is fixed, it will be fixed in the calculator as well.

Next Version of Calculator


Next version should come out in a few days or weeks. That new version will include The Burning Crusades talent calculator found at:
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/bc-rogue/talents.html

I'm still figuring out the numbers for each point of eviscerate. If anyone in Alexstrasza wanna help me its appreciated. Its hard to get someone to stay still naked for hours being bashed on with eviscerates, while eating between each dual.

This is what I found up to now, numbers are still being evaluated:
5 points: 0.150*AttackPower
4 points: 0.100*AttackPower
3 points: 0.075*AttackPower or 0.035*AttackPower
2 points: 0.050*AttackPower or 0.020*AttackPower
1 point : 0.010*AttackPower


Oh yea, Deadliness is bugged, very bugged:
Deadliness extra 10% Attack power is not affecting: Rupture or Garotte.
Possibly Eviscerate and other abilities.

Tested with 1000 AP including the 10% from deadliness and 3/3 Serrated Blades and 5/5 Deadliness and 5/5 Opportunity:

Rupture was tested with 100 ticks for each Combo point.
Rupture 1 point: 401 dmg
Rupture 2 point: 612 dmg
Rupture 3 point: 868 dmg
Rupture 4 point: 1085 dmg
Rupture 5 point: 1324 dmg
Garotte: 858 dmg

When counting as 1000/1.1 = 909 Attack power, those numbers fit exactly the formulas that I have found while testing without talents:
Rupture 1 Point: (272 + 0.04AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Rupture 2 Point: (380 + 0.10AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Rupture 3 Point: (504 + 0.18AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Rupture 4 Point: (644 + 0.21AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Rupture 5 Point: (800 + 0.24AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Garotte: (552 + 0.18AP) * (1+ opportunity * 0.04)

Deadliness doesn't Affect Range Attack power.
Deadliness doesn't show in the spellbook.
