Hello again, Gagorian. I wanted to share an idea about a metric concerning the effectiveness of a spell, mainly for levelling, that combines damage, mana, and casting time. It's a bit mathy, but I doubt you'll mind. Perhaps you'd like to add it to DrDamage via a verbose option, or let me know how I could do it myself. Here it goes.

Suppose I use a spell over and over while leveling, and pause to drink when my mana is depleted. Define:

DPM_spell = damage dealt / mana consumed
TPM_spell = casting time / mana consumed
TPM_water = drink duration / mana regenerated

Clearly, the spell DPS is

DPS_spell = DPM_spell / TPM_spell, which is already reported by the tool, but this doesn't account for the fact that I will pause to drink, so my effective DPS will be smaller.

Precisely, on a long leveling session using that spell, the effective DPS of the spell turns out to be

effective_DPS_spell = DPM_spell / (TPM_spell + TPM_water).

Intuitively, each unit of mana spent must be regenerated, which takes TPM_spell+TPM_water time total. That mana unit will produce damage DPM_spell. The total damage divided by the total time spent, casting and drinking.

Now, this is helpful to figure out which spells are best for leveling or in dungeon runs, when drinking is an issue, particularly at low levels.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

I've decided not to implement this at the moment. There's already a lot of information presented. This is one type of metric that's possibly interesting, but a bit hard to explain so that users know what it actually means (the tooltip has a very small amount of space to explain calculation effects).

Wonderful work, Gagorian. I just love the addon. I'd appreciate it the most if you had the time to answer a question. How does DrDamage retrieve spell damage information? For example, smite, for the priest. I found in Priest.lua the following line:

[GetSpellInfo(585)] = {
-- Checked in 4.0.3
["Name"] = "Smite",
["ID"] = 585,
["Data"] = { 0.733, 0.115, 0.856, ["ct_min"] = 1500, ["ct_max"] = 2500 },
[0] = { School = "Holy", },
[1] = { 0, 0 },

but I can't really tell what 0.733, 0.115 and 0.856 mean. I know mana information is obtained via GetSpellInfo, but I care about the damage or heal portion of a spell. The reason I ask is in case I want to make a change myself, say update PW:Shield to the new changes in 4.0.6, assuming it's easy.

Many thanks.

0.733 is base damage/healing scaling coefficient, 0.115 is base damage/healing range scaling coefficient. Both are extracted from the game's dbc files. 0.856 is the spell power coefficient.

I've updated the coefficients for PW:S in the Alpha releases and it will be released as soon as I get it done.

Yeah, it was changed in patch 4.0.6. I've added it the change to the alpha releases, but it's not ready for a public release yet. Will be released when it's ready.

It's not currently calculating Power Word: Shield correctly, at least for Discipline. My shield is regularly 26k, but the text for "Average" shows 8k. AvgTotal only shows 12k.

Yes it does, although it's mostly just used for spells. Are you sure DPS/DPSC doesn't change when you change haste rating? Obviously damage will be the same.

Wondering if this version of dr damage shows the new values for feral druid abilities ... did not notice a change to mangle and shred, which now use a different % of your weapon damage. The bleed change definately does show.

Do you have Lua errors enabled? Any error messages? Can you also try with only DrDamage and CT_BarMod installed?

I get no Lua errors and I just tried with only CT_Barmod+DrD without success. :-L

Well, that doesn't make much sense.. Have you tried rolling back to an older version of DrDamage? Are you using CT_BarMod version 4.002?

So, you did the work for me and figured out what was wrong. I've been using the two latest beta versions of ct_bottombar/ct_barmod after another, and they don't seem to support DrDamage's involvement. Going back to the latest "official" releases of CT's Barmods worked everything out. Are you planning on looking into this? Perhaps you will wait until there's a newer final release available.

I can look into it at some point, but yeah, ideally when it's out of beta :)

It's almost definately a very easy fix though, just need to find the time to figure out what they changed.

Since the second latest update I've been getting no averages (the default number from DrDmg showing on hotbar icons?) on my CT_Barmod hotbars. If I mouse over I still get the usual tooltip enhancements though. I first thought it had something to do with the newest release of the CT_Barmod, but I tried to go back to an earlier version with no luck. Something must have happened to this addon and it's compability with CT's hotbar modification as I see it. Any thoughts on this?

I just tried the combination of latest DrDamage and CT_BarMod and it seesm to work. Are you sure you haven't accidentally changed DrDamage options? You should try resetting them.
