WHU: Theorycrafting 101 – Calculating Coefficients

Frostheim at Warcraft Hunters Union: I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately from hunters asking about theorycrafting, and specifically wanting to know how to reverse engineer shot formulas. Unfortunately many of these requests have been to learn how to do this in other games, but hey. It’s been ages since I’ve done a Theorycrafting 101 article, so this seemed like a good topic to jump into, and during beta is a good time to discuss it. Besides, calculating coefficients for shots is fun, even if the data gathering takes forever.

I think the easiest way to explain the process is to walk though an example. So let’s say we want to get a rough idea of what the formula for Explosive Shot is now at level 90.  Here’s how we do it: . . . Read full article
