Seal of Command - am I'm missing something?Follow

#1 Sep 21 2008 at 12:26 AM Rating: Decent
On a level 52 pally -

SoC =
+70% weapon in holy damage
136-150 judged (273-300 if target stunned)

Seal of Right =

+66 holy damage
139-152 judged

Weapon is Destiny (53.8 dam 2.6 speed) with crusader chant and I keep sanctity up.

Under melee my dps is 95.8 with 588 attack power.

So my 70% boost from SoC is only +67.06 damage (95.8x70%) right?

If that's the case, then this doesn't sound like its an all that worthwhile seal due to me only having this damage thanks to having an exceptional weapon - if I only had a normal green then I wouldn't be able to match, much less exceed, the +66 from SoR?

Or did I blow the math and not include something?

The only reason you are seeing damage like that from SoC is because it is based on a ppm (procs per minute) system. This means that for a faster weapon like yours, SoC would proc far less, because i think it is something like 7 ppm. Now if you had a weapon in the range of 3.6, our preferred speed, you would see a huge increase in damage. This is not only because you have a much better chance per hit to proc it, but the actual damage would be much higher per proc.

So yes, with a 2.6 speed weapon, you would see higher damage from seal of rightousness, simply because there are more procs than with SoC.

But if you are alliance, just you wait till WoTLK, or if you are horde, you are lucky. Seal of Blood is definitely my preferred seal for instances or anything that i have a healer in. Good Luck :D

Get the Ice Barbed Spear from the AV quest then do the math again. The IBS is the single best weapon you can get until BC content for a Ret Pally.

It's because your weapon has 2.6 speed.

Get a slower one and the SoC procs will vastly increase your damage, as will Crusader Strike.

OK, I've got the IBS from AV and I do see that its DPS is far higher then Destiny.

I've got crusader on Destiny right now - what would be the optimal chant for the IBS to bring it on par with my current Destiny configuration to get the most out of SoC?

To be perfectly honest you should just level up. There's no reason to even get it enchanted unless you plan to twink at 59, and there's no real point because at 59 being a twink means very, very little.

That said, Fiery is often underestimated as a twink enchant.

This will be my last toon hitting 70 before the expansion comes out so I kind of want to take my time and enjoy the leveling process - relax, do EP/WP in full instead of racing off to Hellfire at 58, hit an instance or three, etc.
