Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Talents that increase the damage of spells do not affect the bonus damage from items on this server except for a few talents like Improved Shadow Bolt, Arcane Power, and Demonic Sacrifice (it only affects the default spell damage).

Pretty neat.

2006.08.25: Slight updates for 1.12 and several small corrections.

Fire Power (5 ranks)
Increases the damage done by your fire spells by 2/4/6/8/10%.
D: A flat +10% damage increase on all Fire spells.
E: No effect.
S: No effect.
C: No effect.
=: However much +dmg gear is equivalent to 10% more.
PvP: ****
Raid: ****
Level: ****
Notes: More damage is good, and this talent applies its multipler to your +dmg gear, which means it scales as your gear gets better.

Shadow Bolt added

Why are you linking this? I am telling you how it works on this server not how it was on retail.

Pretty cool, but your shadow vuln uptime seems way too low.

You can use distributions on google spreadsheets, the uptime should be:
=1-BINOMDIST(0,4,Crit*Hit,false)

thanks for pointing the shadow vulnerability out. the formula i made does not quite to do the job. I have a problem using the one you posted however. It gives me the #Error!

edit: got it to work. thanks for the input! :)

added formula for spell penetration. also added lightning bolt. updated the layout aswell. take a look!

Just to put it out there, a Priest can't realistically have enough mana to be spamming max rank Mind Flay on longer fights, even if chugging mana pots.

Even if you were acting as if mana weren't an issue, there is a more optimal rotation for DPS: Mind Blast, 2x Mind Flay, repeat, keeping Shadow Word: Pain up, of course.
