Threat values

[viliustank]

Check threat values:

• additive threat modifiers
• abilities that have multipliers like Thunder Clap, Revenge
• talents that affect threat values such as Tactical Mastery

hopefully straightforward to test with the wow classic threat API, but some external reference from the EJ TBC Protection Warrior Guide:

Battle Shout +69 (rank 8) - divided amongst targets Cleave +130 (rank 6) - divided amongst targets Commanding Shout +68 - divided amongst targets Demoralizing Shout +56 (rank 7) - divided amongst targets Devastate +106 + [14 * Sunder Count] Also applies Sunder Armor threat when increasing the debuff stack Disarm +104 Hamstring +181 (rank 4) Heroic Strike +196 (rank 10) Revenge +201 (rank 8) Improved Revenge (Stun) +25 Shield Bash +230 (rank 4) Improved Shield Bash +?? Shield Slam +307 (rank 6) Sunder Armor +301 (rank 6) Taunt Sets threat equal to NPC's primary target (Section VII e.) Thunder Clap Base threat is 1.75x damage done

Battle Shout r8 (threat = 69) in the reference follows the buff threat template from classic wow of (threat generated) = (level learned), which is promising.

Some preliminary results for threat

• Build: 2.5.1.38169
• Level 58 warrior, all I have access to as I'm using my friend's beta account, I don't have access on my account
• Only addon was weak auras with threat buddy WA to display threat on target
• Def stance mod: 1.3
• Battle/Berserker stance mod: 0.8
• All values given before stance mod
• Demo Shout R5: 43, applies to all targets, not divided, talent doesn't affect it
• Battle Shout R6: 52, applies to all targets, not divided, talent doesn't affect it, didn't test hitting multiple allies
• Berserker Rage: 0
• Sunder R5: 261, still gives threat at 5 stacks
• Thunder Clap R6: 1.75 * damage, talent doesn't affect the 1.75 multiplier
• Shield Slam R3: 229 + damage
• Shield Bash R3: 156 + 1.5 * damage
• Revenge R5: 165 + damage + 20 (if talented and stun lands)
• Heroic Strike R8: 145 + damage
• Cleave R4: 80 + damage
• Hamstring R3: 135 + 1.25 * damage
• Execute: 1.25 * damage
• Disarm: 100
• Piercing Howl: 0
• Devastate: 100 + damage + sunder threat, if already at 5 sunder stacks no bonus sunder threat, did not test IEA interaction
• Mortal Strike: damage (1 + 21% TM points if in def stance)
• Bloodthirst: damage (1 + 21% TM points if in def stance), heal appears to give 0 threat
• Bloodrage: 5 initial rage gain (not modified by stance) + 5 2 per 2 s for 10 s (modified by stance)

Bloodrage appears bugged, seems like the initial rage gain should be affected by stance modifier. Stance modifier is correctly affecting the 2 rage per second component. I can't submit a bug report on this account so someone else feel free to do it.

Feel free to repeat these tests to verify! Of course most of this will have to be repeated at 70 with higher ranks but at least gives us a baseline for the mechanics.

Some additional info:

• devastate innate threat of 100 doesn't change with sunder stacks
• if expose armor is on the target, devastate cannot apply sunder and you don't get the sunder bonus threat (thanks Iron from FC for helping with this test)
• Shield Specialization: 5 threat per rage gained from blocking, unaffected by stance

Think we both looked at some of the same things. We should merge the various ranks into one table. +Need lvl 70 to fill out the remainder.

Couldn't say if bloodrage behavior is a bug - it has always been a bit wonky with the two components (initial vs ticks) working differently.
