How to read these numbers
- Forever and Classic values come straight from each game client for the same spell ID, at the level the rank is learned. They don’t include talents, gear or spell power.
- Coefficient is how much of your spell power the spell adds (per hit or per tick), as stored in the client.
- Matches Classic at (derived) is the spell power at which the Forever value catches up with the Classic one. Never means Forever is lower at any spell power; Always means Forever is equal or higher from 0.
- † marks spells learned below level 20. Classic’s client stores their coefficient with the low-level penalty already applied; Forever’s doesn’t. Whether Forever still applies the penalty in game isn’t confirmed, so the comparison assumes it does.
- ? in a tooltip is a value the client computes at runtime (e.g. from your stats). We show it rather than guess.
