Talk:Consecration

From WoWWiki

The page on spell Coefficients states that consecration gets 95.4% (http://www.wowwiki.com/Spell_Damage_Coefficients#Paladin_Coefficients) of your plus dmg, but this pages states its 76%. Anyone know which is correct?

My testing today showed 100% of spell damage, distributed over 8 seconds in equal chunks. (Luckily, I had either +40 or +160 spell damage, both divisible by 8). Errors here may come out of unlucky number of +spell damage/insufficient testing. This is per 2.3.0.

I tested this when 2.3 first came live. I was using an Ace2 addon called DrDamage which had an incorrect co-efficient. After a days testing with as much varying amounts of spell damage, I have concluded the co-efficient is 95.238%, or assuming a casting time of 3.5 secs equating to 100% co-efficient, consecration has a cast time co-efficient of 3.3333 (three and one third) seconds. So, (3+(1/3)) / 3.5 would give 0.95238, which is the exact co-efficient that I have found to be consistent from 0 spell damage to all the way to 600 spell damage.

Spell Hit

Re: "Spell hit does not affect this spell in any way. It's commonly believed spell hit does for the first tick and in theory it should."

You are not casing Consecration on the enemy, you are casting it on the ground. In effect, Consecration becomes a property of the area; it makes sense that each tick must be resisted separately. Imagine it as a hot stove, resisting being burned once will not help you if you remain on the stove. Madkaugh (talk) 21:27, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
