Elemental Shaman: How much spelldmg is 1% hit worth?

Hi,

the stat priority for Elemental shamans is very clear but I do not get any indications of how much the individual stats are worth. How much spell damage could I loose to gain 1% hit in a raid scenario (without hitting the hit cap)?

Yo its pretty easy but you have to do your own math, as hit vs spellpower is dynamic. Spell power gives an absolute increase and hit a relative one.

I assume here you do 400 dps. 1% hit is 1% increase indamage means its worth 4 dps.
I assume lightning bolt has a base cast time of 2.5 sec. So it scales 2.5/3.5 is 71% of +dmg gear. To gain 4dps from +dmg you need (again based on 2.5 sec cast time) 2.5*4/0,71 = 14 +dmg gear.
If there somehow are talents to make LB a 2 sec cast, which wouldnt surprise me, its then again 2 * 4/0,71 = 11.2 +dmg gear.

Thats all based on a base 400 dps, if yours is different, recalculate.

You could also understand f*k all of anything and use BiS lists instead, its what most ppl do.
