Hellfire: which rank to use
Warlock · Fire · 3 ranks, 1 learned by level 30.
At level 30 you only have Hellfire rank 1; rank 2 comes at level 42.
Every rank at level 30 with 45 spell power
| Rank | Damage per cast | Mana | Cast | Damage per mana | DPS | Mana lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 (level 30) | 1,245 (1,245–1,245) | 645 | 15 s | 1.93 | 83 | 35 s |
DPS counts the global cooldown. Mana lasts: casting only that rank from 1,500 mana.
Forever against Classic Era
- Rank 1: 1,245 damage for 645 mana in Forever instead of 1,260 for 645 in Classic Era (spell power share 0.330 instead of 0.330).
How it's worked out
- From the client, for each rank: base damage or healing and its range (SpellEffect base points and variance), the extra per level up to the rank's max level, the spell power share (coefficient), mana cost, cast time, duration, global cooldown and cooldown.
- No downrank penalty in the Forever client. Classic Era's client puts a penalty for spells learned before level 20 inside the coefficient (Shadow Bolt rank 1: 0.14); Forever's client gives the full share (0.486), for 80 low-level ranks across the classes. Anything else would be on Blizzard's servers, so the calculator shows Classic's rules only as Speculation.
- Speculation: crits count only on direct hits, at 150%, as in Classic; the example gear (1.5 spell power per level) is not client data.
