Normalisation (Burning Crusade)

There has been a lot of discussion on the WoW forums about rage normalization in the Buring Crusade. Finally a European CM has explained the forumla in this thread: Re: Rage formula in beta, you won't believe t.

Basically if we define:

R:	rage generated by causing damage
R':	normalised rage generated by causing damage
d:	damage caused
c:	character level
s:	weapon speed

Then the current (pre-BC) forumla is:

R	=	d / 0.5c
	=	2d / c

The BC formula will be:

R'	=	(R + f(c)s) / 2
	=	(2d/c + f(c)s) / 2
	=	d / c + f(c)s / 2

Where f(c) is the as-yet-unknown "expected rage per second" factor for the given level. With testing hopefully we will be able to discover this function, though we know it is non-linear. --Karrion 23:47, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

Looking at these numbers, it looks like f(67) ≈ 2 --Karrion 00:25, 20 October 2006 (EDT)

The above discussion is obsoleted by the post from Kalgan as cut and paste by Sudiin. --Karrion 19:42, 16 November 2006 (EST)

Suggesting merge with Rage

This information is also on the Rage page. But I like the layout of the forumlae here (I'm biased, I did some of it), so it would be nice to merge them into that page. --Karrion 06:24, 26 February 2007 (EST)

How about merge the info from the section at Rage (called Rage Generation) to here, then just add at that spot For more information, see Rage generation. Leave some general stuff if needed for that section so that it doesn't seem really empty...--Sky 06:29, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Good idea. The maths of it probably do belong in the Formulas: pseudonamespace anyway. I'll stick a merge tag on that section pointing back here to generate more discussion. --Karrion 20:30, 26 February 2007 (EST)

I agree that the math should be here with the general info left on the Rage page with a pointer leading here. --Ecwfrk 21:01, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Removing < 2.0.1 formula

Removed the formula for generating rage prior to patch 2.0.1 as it is well and truly obsolete. The content was:

R	=	7.5d / c
	=	15d / 2c
