Could you please provide a source or evidence of your own testing to back these numbers up?
Also, based on this model, the damage would be: (1 + (n - 1)(1/n))100 where n is the number of targets -- it's wouldn't exactly be a 75% split beyond the first.
Targets:total_dmg
1:100.00%
2:150.00%
3:166.00%
4:175.00%
5:180.00%
6:183.33%
7:185.71%
8:187.50%
9:188.89%
10:190.00%
Basically, the diminishing returns really hurt, but it's not as bad as a straight up 100% damage split evenly.

Maybeeeee I'm missing something, but WW single target seems pretty strong, to me. Also, SKC and FoF are still very, very powerful... it's not like WW sucks with AoE now. Couldn't we just wait for actual results before declaring the sky is falling?

If it is live in EU those numbers can't be true, from just running a dungeon it felt like it was doing 100% on main target and 50% on all other targets no matter how many, might just be that its not nerfed there yet though.
so after heroic nythandra and ursoc looking like we're average st and our awesome cleave has dropped like a boss. welcome to last xpac, but worse.
everyone was like ya but blizz always overnerfs... surenuff
So are all of you flavor-of-the-month monks gonna heck off now or...

any more than 5 targets and its actually a dps loss
75% was a rough-ish idea. its always less than 100% between the offtarget/cleave targets
our st is okay, not the best by a decent margin but "okay' problem is .. our ae doesnt shine now either. like i said - same shit, nother day.
Sorting through logs now, and I'm seeing a pretty good number of windwalkers near the top, even on single target fights. Even though the nerf basically turned SotW into more of a cleave than a true aoe, I'd have to say the class is still quite solid.
It's funny you people think WW is dead. Apparently you have never actually used SCK optimally. It does insane damage.
It's could've and would've. Not could of and would of. Not sure when "of" started meaning "have," but everyone who thinks it does needs to go back to school.
No, that was how they nerfed it. I wrote that article knowing full well what they were going to do, just didnt want to tell the world in case they changed their mind.

1) Its "above 5 targets", not "at 5 targets".
2) Its not a DPS loss, you'll just benefit more form SCK if you have 6 targets and 6 stacks of the SCK buff.

Im gonna reroll rogue. Thanks blizz for destroying my class again.
If SotW nerf stays the only one I'll be ok.
Like Tellof said, I don't think that the 40s CD has such a great impact on our ST dps.
Nevertheless, it can be usefull to have other classes ready for raiding, if nerfs will continue
