Allright, after aquiring this gem (FINALLY) during this weeks farm, I took it for a spin on Thok heroic. The results I got was somewhat insane, and I was wondering if I have completly misunderstood the trinket. Here's the log of Thok from me for this week:
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r.../5/?s=23&e=524
and from last week:
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/b...?s=1295&e=1867
Now, the thing that has me surprised, is the amount of power my Divine Aegis seem to have gotten. From 125K average last week, till 147K average this week per hit.
The main differences in the two logs are these:
-Last week had a slightly lower uptime on ToF, with a slightly higher uptime on my trinket int-proc (Cha Ye's 530 - named mastermind). These two should offset each other, pretty much, making the difference minimal.
-Last week we had 8 healers, this week we had 7. The healer in question is a resto shaman. I can't see a reason that he would ever be able to affect the power of my absorbs, so this shouldn't be it (although it obviously explains some of my extra HPS).
Now, how I figured the trinket would work was this -
trinket amplifies my initial crit heal with 9% (EG, 100K becomes 109K).
The crit heal then becomes an absorb, and multiplied by mastery (let's say 50% absorb mastery) - so 109K*1.5=163.5K absorb.
This would lead to an increase of 9% in my divine aegis power (from 150K to 163.5K).
However, what I'm seeing in the log is closer to 18% (16%, to be exact) - what you would expect if the trinket double dipped like this:
100K initial crit.
9% amp = 109K crit.
9% amp = 118.8K absorb.
50% mastery = 178K absorb.
So have I completly misunderstood how the trinket works initially? Does it actually count both the initial critical heal, AND the following absorb as a critical hit, thus proc'ing the +heal amplification twice?
Mind that now that I've seen the logs, this is how I think it works - and it'd make sense, too, considering the fact that our critical heals are half as strong as any other healers in part DUE to the absorbs. It just kind of came as a surprise, and I'd like confirmation.
And if the above is true, does it then "tripple"-dip from DPS? EG:
100K initial crit.
9% amp = 109K crit.
90% atonement heal = 98.1K
9% heal amp = 107K.
9% absorb amp = 116.5K.
Instead of just ending at 107K?
Much appreciated :d!
