Questions on some Shaman mechanics here on Elysium

[Totemtank 1]

Hello guys, I'm trying to theory craft some ideas for a frost-damage based shaman.

These questions apply to THIS server, if you want to let me know how they SHOULD work that's great too. Please make the distinction though!

 

1. Does frostbrand weapon use melee or spell critical strike chance? What about hit chance?

 Tested, appears to be SPELL CRIT and treated as a SPELL

 

2. About what is frostbrand weapon's PPM on this server?

Tested, its about 10ppm.

 

3. Is the frost mage debuff 'Winter's Chill' giving frost strike and frostbrand weapon a higher critical strike chance?

 

4. Does the enhancement shaman talent 'Weapon Mastery' increase frostbrand's damage by 10%?

Tested, yes it does appear to be increasing the based damage by 10%.

 

5. Can frostbrand weapon procs trigger a weapon proc such as nightfall?

Tested, this one is hard to say. What I will say is that windfury didn't appear to be procing MORE than just auto attacking.

 

6. Is elemental devastation increasing spell crit on this server or is theory craft just bugged?

 

Thanks for the replies!
