Crossposted at TSW, Samanna, Beastlords.org. Somebody pls repost on Therunes, as their registration is buggy for me.

Fenier at least should be interested :)

Spell tested: Shaman lvl66 Crippling Spasm (-100 agi/dex/str)

ob: A Lightning Diodite Staticfist (MPG) (same mob both parses)

Parse 1: No cripple
Length - 13.3 minutes
32 flurries (2.406 flurries/minute)

Parse 2: Crippled
Length - 14.65 minutes
28 flurries (1.911 flurries/minute)

Difference: ~26%.

Short parses, aye (How low is the confidence level, pls) I could only find an interested shammy w/ a little bit of time. And my druid could only keep me up for 13.3 for the uncrippled parse. But, I couldn't find this info anywhere else.

uch thanks to Sabisback of Alliance Raiders on Luclin for volunteering his time to help.

I'd be interested in seeing hit graphs for both parses.

Not valuable in this case, as atk debuffs were inconsistent :(. Also, it's a very short sample size for getting a reliable hit distribution.

Ignore the attack Debuffs.

You're a Beastlord. Get a sizable sample (1-2k) hits keeping your spell incap on it the entire time. This will at least provide a baseline on how it should act. From there you can move on to Shaman / Chanter verisons to see how it scales.

Hit graphs are important, you're not just looking at the flurry ratio.

That'll take a good bit, as I'll need to succour back to zone in and keep running back...druid is only 8k mana/few AAs. The attack debuffs also have a huge impact in ease of healing Khauruk...I was a believer after the first mob. Now if only we could get a -100 chromatic -300ATK 2.25sec cast atk debuff for SoF! I think it would be appropriate, frankly.

It's something that I do want to work on more, but first I want to get a feel for what the -dex portion of the higher cripples does.


Perhaps I should try in WoS...I still get hit for max reasonably often, and druid should be able to keep me healed about indefinitely there.

Cripple should act the same regardless of mob level / area.

I recommand parsing on a GoD Noc. They rampage and hit for <300, you can run a test on them nearly forever, even without the druid.

-Fenier

PoJ basement mobs also rampage or flurry and hit for less than 300, if you want another option.

I don't think you can assume cripple works the same on all mobs though. I remember cripple used to significantly (visibly) reduce rampage/flurry on some old raid targets but not on others.
