I've had a bit of spare time on my hand and started fiddling with the formula for
PW:S.
What affects the absorption amount of PW:S beyond its base amount?What does this mean to me?- If you are a lvl 80 discipline priest, you should have everything.
- If you are holy or shadow, You get the base shield, 80% of your sp, and 5% form TD.
What formula do I use?The official formula would be:
total absorption = * (points in TD + points in FP) * (points in IPW:S)
For a 80 discipline priest, this would look like:
total absorption = * 1.09 * 1.15
For a 80 shadow or holy priest, this would look like:
total absorption = * 1.05
That's to complex for me. Got anything better?That would be the reason I posted this topic in the first place.
- For a disc priest, a simple formula that will get you extreamly close is:
total aborption = 2800 + 1.5(sp)
The exact version of the formula:
total absorption = 2795.305 + 1.5042(sp)
- For a holy or shadow priest, a simple formula:
total absorption = 2240 + .84(sp)
The exact formula:
total absorption = 2241.5 + .84(sp)
How close are those "close" formulas really?For a disc priest, until you reach about 3500 sp, you will never even see a 10 point difference.
For a holy or shadow priest, you will always be 1-2 points off.
* Keep in mind that these only affect normal lvl 80 raid builds. If you don't use the talent points, you won't see a change. *

It is nice and I like it how you made simpler formula's. ^^ (I am so gonna use those!)
But a Holy priest also has
Spiritual Healing and sometimes
Blessed Resilience and I guess they also work for Power Word: Shield. You maybe want to factor that in too.
Edit: Better compliments. ><

I expect for holy the formula is;
Total = *]*1.15
Total = *1.18]*1.15
With Base=2230 and say 2000 SP, holy shields for ~5200.
Come to think of it, PvP Holy shields are probably stronger than the Disc ones.
PvP is with IPW:S?
For Holy PvE we got
total absorption = * 1.15
It sounds like Twin Discipline and Spiritual Healing are following the same rule as Twin Discipline and Focused Power
And the PvP
total absorption = * 1.15 * 1.15
So at 2000 spellpower
Holy PvE
total absorption = * 1.15
total absorption = 4404.5
Holy PvP (or any case Holy with IPW:S)
total absorption = 2230 + .8(2000)] * 1.15 * 1.15
total absorption = 5065.175
Disc (Both)
total absorption = * 1.09 * 1.15
total absorption = 5803.705
Conclusion the scaling from Borrowed Time is worth a lot more then a percentage increase.
The difference is already vs
Or 1600 healing vs 2400 healing
