you can continue on your own

That is at a 50% chance rate, but lower the value you get by 20% ( 20% of 50 is 10 so 50% proc is lowered to 40%)

The Formula for the different proc rates is this: assume “n” is the number of targets

One Holy Power Chance

[2^(n) - 1]
——– x 0.8 when n > 1
2^n

Two Holy Power Chance

{[2^(n)] – [2^(n-1)] – 1}
——————- x 0.8 when n > 2
2^n

Three Holy Power Chance

{[2^(n)] – [2^(n-1)] – [2(n-2)] – 1 }
————————— x 0.8 when n > 3
2^n

hope this helps Khor, and got to give a shout out for this awesome sight! I started my ret back in April and have loved it ever since! I had been looking for a site like this forever and stumbled across this one a couple of weeks ago and it has really helped me out

So here is what I am thinking…

To make math simpler, lets just say its a 50% chance to proc
Y = DS did proc, N= DS did not proc

so we have a 1/2, or 50% chance of getting one HP per target hit by DS

with one target, we have 2 possibilites of a proc

YN – either it does or it doesn’t

with two targets, we have 4 possibilites

YY, YN, NY, NN – so we have a 50% chance to get 1 HP, and 25% chance to get
combined, against two targets, we have a 75% chance to get at least one HP

against 3 targets we have 8 possibilities

YYY, YYN, YNN, NNN, NYN, NYY, NNY, NYN

so out of the eight, 7 of them have a possibility of getting us at least one HP, or 84.5%
3 / 8 , or 34.5% have a chance of giving us 2 HP
1 / 8 , or 12.5% have a chance of giving us 3 HP

so basically, as the number of targets goes up, the usage of full blown DS’s goes up where as with TV, we get a static “50%” chance of getting HP

*Its been a long time since stats, but someone correct me if I am wrong anywhere

**Also, I’m a lazy college student and if you want the actually % chance of procs, just subtract ~20% of the values from above from itself, like 20% of 50 is 10%, so you get 40% chance of actual proc as is now in Beta

As of right now Crusader Strike has a 4 second CD, and in Cata it is raised to 4.5 seconds, but lowered by haste. In one Blue post, they said the rotation for Ret seemed to need about a 3 second CD, but higher for other specs. So we could see more CS hits, that are harder and generate holy power for more harder hitting DS’s

I believe the biggest change to our AE DPS will be Seals of Command. It now a talent we get, which modifies Seal of Righteousness and Seal of Truth. On BOTH Seals, each swing now causes 7% additional wep damage, and Seal of Righteousness will allow the Holy damage to splash over.

Seals of Command currently does ~36% wep damage as holy damage, and the holy damage hits 2 additional targets. In my experience, Seal of Command procs off CS and White damage, which is what gives us our huge AE dps. With Seals of Command changed so much, that could be the bigger change in our AE dps than DS.

Don’t quote me, but I believe it is possible that against more targets, we may actually have higher DPS, simply because we can get more DS’s off at full HP and it will hit harder because more targets, and with 3 HP have 40% more wep damage added

I know this is an older Beta Build, but it does explain how HP works pretty well, and how DS could keep us up in AE dps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHggEJU6Uq0
