  1. Mangos version: 10050

    How it should work:

    With maximum weapon skill your glancing blow damage against mobs 3 levels higher should be between 65% and 85% of your normal damage.

    In patch 3.3 the glancing blow penalty for casters was removed, now every class has the same damage penalty from glancing blows:

    Glancing Blows: The mage, warlock, and priest classes no longer have an increased chance for their melee attacks to be glancing blows; and the damage penalty due to their glancing blows is the same as for other classes.

    How it works:

    The glancing blow damage of druid, shaman, mage, warlock and priest is between 1% and 45% of the normal damage.

    The glancing blow damage of other classes is between 55% and 75% of the normal damage.

    I wrote a patch that modifies the following:

    • * Removes the glancing blow damage penalty for druid, shaman, mage, warlock and priest.
      * In the elitistjerks forum (http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t36999-feral_druid_numbers_updated_3_2_2_a/p2/) testing with a druid the glancing blow damage was between 65% and 85% of the normal damage, in the code there is an upper limit of 60% in the low end of glancing blow damage for classes other than rogue and warrior. The patch sets the upper limit of the low end glancing blow damage to 91% for all classes.
      * Increases the minimum and maximum range of glancing blow reduction by 0.1, so the glancing blow damage will be between 65% and 85% of the normal damage against bosses.
      * Removes the check of minimum range > maximum range because it is always true.

    The patch is found at: http://paste2.org/p/880447
