However, even if this was the case the numbers DO NOT match. After i do all the math in both bear and cat form and account for talents the AP increase I get is much less than the staff states.
2681 unbuffed cat AP.
Equipping War Mace of Unrequited Love with a stated AP of 471. Using a caster weapon to make math easier btw.
Result is 3303 AP. 3303-2681=622 That is an extra 151 AP but that doesn't count talents that aren't baked into the form.
Predatory Strikes should give 20% of weapon AP. 20% of 471 is 94.2. This gives a total weapon AP of 565.2.
Checked the AP tooltip and they show +1166 no weapon and +1788 with weapon. Which is showing the mace giving 622 AP. It is giving more than it should.
Goggled it and got
this post . The post states PS is having issues with Str, AP and Agi with regards to weapons as well. He has math. The link is from January on the PTR forums. Can't link to the post the blue tracker is showing either which is very irritating.
Let's check bear using the same weapon.
1877 unbuffed AP.
Equipping mace I have 2475 AP. 598 ghost AP before talents factored in to the mix.
The total weapon is 565.2 same as in cat after PS is factored in the AP granted.
The difference is 32.8. But PotP gives a 6% AP bonus. 6% of 565.2 is 33.912. Which is close enough for me as I have no idea how and when Blizz rounds decimals.
So bear seems to be fine and adding AP as it should. Cat I am missing something or it is just bugged a bit.
Any one else want to do math? I don't. Its beer time now.
