Preliminary Math Regarding Threat Talents in WotLK

So I'm going through my spreadsheet and completely 3.0/WotLK'ing it.

First things first, some blanks need to be filled in, if anybody has done the testing.

Concussion Blow and Shockwave both have innate threat, but being that Blizzard hates me(give me a key please Mr. Blizz rep), I can't begin to guess what they are.

If anybody has done any testing to figure those numbers out, please do tell.


So for all intents and purposes, I left those two abilities out. Shockwave will, without a doubt, be in the rotation come Wrath. Without innate threat and in current BC gear, it is more threat then Devastate. But I can't factor them in.

Also, no S&B, as I haven't figured out a reliable way to model it yet. Well I havne't even really thought about it, but no S&B at any rate.

Anyways, subparness shall insue:

I took a base talent spec with everything in it and then took away each talent then found the delta TPS change. The results(listed as raw change and TPS/talent point):

Incite: (40% HS uptime) 35 / 12
Improved Revenge: 20 / 10
Improved Disarm: (Assuming a 25% uptime meaning that you would use it whenever it is up) 25 / 12
Improved Shield Bash: 27 / 13
Shield Mastery: 32 /10
One hand spec: 100! /20
Improved Defensive Stance: (Assuming a 100% uptime. I would have around 100% uptime on Gorefiend, so for simplicities sake~) 100 / 50!
Cruelty: 48 / 10
Impale: 31 / 15


So 13/0/58 is what I'm looking at so far.

Hehe, knew this was coming. TBH, I completely suck at math, so I don't understand 75% of the stuff you post. It's cool to know there are people like you out there to take care of the number crunching for us. With that, lemme offer a hearty thank you!

As for what you asked for, I can't help. I don't have a key either, and again, I blow chunks at arithmetic. Now, if you ever want someone to convert something into something readable for the masses, hit me up. I was an English major before I had to drop out of college :P
