Mad Priests on Madmortem

Ok, first off: None of the pages above have been correctly updated for lvl 80 – yet!

However, due to my first raiding adventures at 80 (yeah, naxx is a joke…) I began to wonder how intellect w/ all the shiny new buffs compares to intellect, espacially as my intellect value was still comparatively low.

The first hurdle is just finding out, what the formula is at 80. However, Ratingbuster has been updated long since (thanks Whitetooth!), so after a bit of browsing through their files, the formula becomes obvious:
(0.001 + spi * 0.005575 * sqrt(int))*5
Since we are not interested in modularity or other levels than 80, we can simplify this with a clear conscience:
0.005 + spi * 0.027875 * sqrt(int)
Another simplification we can make is dropping the leading 0.005, since we really do not care about the total value, but just the increase one point of either spirit or intellect will give us.
spi * 0.027875 * sqrt(int)
This is just about one tenth of what we need though, since especially intellect gains most of its value through correlated effects like replenishment or critical strikes that trigger serendipity or holy conc. Continue reading 3.0: Spirit vs Int!…
