Adds up the damage-related effects of the talents you picked, using the tooltip numbers as written, and runs them through the assumptions below. The number on the right is the difference that talent alone makes.
Talents that affect your damage will show up here.
Assumptions
The damage split, base crit and miss assume typical level 60 gear and rotation. Rage, energy and mana effects, rotation changes and the damage of new abilities aren't included, so real DPS will differ. Use it to compare talents.
