Hunter's Kill shot

[darkstalker]

This video crits 16.9k or 20k with killshot, this hunter has 4979 AP and 39.83% crit. I have only 4750 AP and I dont hit that.

PD: Estan ciegos si no ven que esta malo el killshot. In Espanish

Greetings

i hate when ppl post videos as "proof", its like the worst way of doing it

only real proof is formulas ;>

To convert DPS into average damage per swing:

(Weapon DPS + AP/14) * Weapon Speed.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Attack_power

Now installed Dr. Damage and it showing same amount as formula I quoted .

But you did not insert weapon DPS in your first post, but absolute weapon damage.

DPS (avreage damage per second) of the gun you used is (254+472)/(2*2.8) = 129.6

But you inserted 254 and 472...

Weird because the formula i posted is >straight from wowwiki< too...

And maybe i wasn't clear, i meant to say your calculated Kill Shot max. damage is 1700 too high, because your white damage calculation is wrong, not that your white damage is 1700 or something like that.

According to "my" formula the white result is:

472 + (2.8 * 4200/14) = 1312

Note that this is without ammo DPS and scopes, or the 5% ranged bonus from talent. With some +15 DMG scope and +67.5DPS ammo max. white damage should be in total:

1.05 * ( 472 + 15 + 2.8 * (4200/14 + 67.5)) = 1591.8

You can easily verify this calculation in your character screen...

I don't want to claim Kill Shot does correct damage, i only know that i have reached higher crits than 6k at level 75 solo already, and will do the math on next occasion.

I did some more testing, but now with a different set up(yes even with different arrows). First I switched this bow http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39296 to this crappy white bow http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2504 (to limit the variance of damage dealt) doing this only affected my RAP decrease from 4220 to 4151, lost some hit and crit, but armor penetration was still the same as before. I attacked the very same lvl 80 mobs and to keep things less complex I only recorded some non crit Kill shots.

Let's see how Kill shot performs with the worst arrow of 15 DPS ingame http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2512. My results are on average 1362 damage (dr damage gives 3977-3988 damage)

Then I switched to best arrow 67.5 DPS ingame http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41165. My results are on average 1681 damage (dr damage gives 4280-4291 damage)

Stripped off my gear, with worst bow + arrow ingame with only 512 RAP I got 536 damage (dr damage gives 1074-1085)

I think I figured out the formula dr damage is using for the calculation of Kill shot is 200% of autoshot damage (white damage, you can see this in your char screen) + bonus damage (RAP*0.40+650 for rank 3, could be verified on your Kill shot tooltip).

So is this buggy now or not? If it is, would someone fix it?

Its bugged, I got 4780 RAP now, Dr. Damage says avg damage crit -11k , I deal 2k-3k max.

Hmm, 35 posts for such a simple problem^^. MrLams fix is nearly correct, except that we don't have to hardoce the standart (not RAP dependent) bonusdamge...
