Notes
Rank Table
Damage Done
The formula for Mind Blast is calculated based on the damage given in the table above. The value given on the tooltip includes up to 10% bonus damage from the Darkness talent, which is a bit wrong since talent effects is supposed to be included after bonus damage for damage spells. To convert between the tooltip-listed base damage and real base damage use the following formula.
- Real_base_damage = Listed_base_damage / (1 + Darkness_bonus)
The formula for calculating the damage from this spell is as follows:
- Damage_done = (Real_base_damage + (1.5/3.5) * Spelldamage * Downrank_factor) * (1 + Darkness_Bonus)
A lvl 70 priest with 760 shadowdamage and full ranks in Darkness would end up with (max damage)
- Damage_done = (752 + (1.5/3.5) * 760 * 1.0) * ( 1 + 0.10 ) = 1185
