Agony formula is higher than it should

Spell - Agony

 

Description - The damage formula is higher than it should, I can't exactly tell what coefficient since that requires the database. See the spoiler below for more details.

 

 

Overall status

Formula = 324 + 30.6% of spell power * X (x is the number of stacks) over 24 sec(you can see the formula in the spell link posted above)

My spell power = 18970

My PvP Power = 34.62%

My mastery = 45.63%

Warrior’s resilience = 80.00%

Number of ticks = 13

After using agony twice after it reaches the 10 stacks, we get a 35 sec agony due to pandemic passive.

Ticks with pandemic passive = 20, one every 1.75 seconds

X = 10

 

Converting spell power into damage

30.6% of 18970 = 5804,82

324 + 5804,82 * 10

324 + 58048

58372 in a pve target without mastery over 35 seconds if nothing crits

Converting the damage into per tick damage

58372 / 20 = 2918 per tick in a pve target without mastery

 

Adding Mastery

45.63% of 2918 = 1331

2918 + 1331 = 4249 in a pve target

Adding PvP Power

34.62% of 4249 = 1471

4249 + 1471 = 6220

 

Adding Resilience

80% of 6220 = 4976

6220 - 4976 = 1244 per tick in a PvP target

 

Current damage in a PvE target = 7804, when it should be 4249

Current damage in a PvP target = 1990, when it should be 1244

 

Note - All done with a 496 ilvl warlock and 496 ilvl warrior, both without gems, enchants and procs.

Note - I did not use fractionary numbers in most of the formula(such as 0,4 and etc), so the final results are approximate.

 

 

 

How it should work - The damage should be applied correctly.

 

Priority - 9/10, one of the main spells that affliction warlocks use, also this damage difference gets higher and higher the more gear you get(and buffs, such as the ones from Restoration Shamans), not mentioning that this is the spell with the highest damage difference(based on the 2 others, unstable affliction and corruption).

 

Comments - This is probably one of the last ones for affliction warlocks, thanks to Noneedholy for ~~complaining~~ about it.
