Need to specify exactly what your using or it invalidates data your trying to create. The length is a bit extreme to prove the point also. The max hits a lone allow you to see that sleeves will add onto Fire Core.

But your very long parses, show arms are adding something to Fire Core which is all that was necessary. The thing in question was if arms are pointless or not when having Fire Core running.
Parses were run Using First spire & Fire core only, The weave is spear/spear/bolt/bolt , 100 & 95 respectively, in that order

The easiest way to tell is to copy to test or beta. Reset your aa's, this way you don't crit--buy hastened casting stuff to speed up your parsing*. Hit fire core with your sleeves on. Cast as many spears as possible until you see it hit over what fire core will do at max. If you can hit beyond that, then they stack. I'd say if you cast a thousand or so times without doing it, then they don't add together.

Mod's like that aren't supposed to add together but I'm not a dev and can't poke the code to say so for sure. So if you all see it doing that, then good for us :D

*Edit--To get quick damage requires crit aa's which will mess up the test. Instead, put some real life aa points into Extended Patience.

Just ran the simple test. Pertinent info is in the box with a conclusion below that.

Condensed Text:
/4 Test Eighty Five in 1s, 19k @19085dps --- Voratest 19k @19085dps

/tell Voratest Voratest -vs- Test Eighty Five: -- DMG: 19085 -- DPS: 19085 -- Scaled: 19085 -- DirDmg: 19085 -- Non-crit rate: 100% -- Attempts: 1 -- Hits: 1 -- Accuracy: 100% -- Avg Hit: 19085 -- Max hit: 19085 -- DMG to PC: 0

My worn SD is 410.

No crit or spell mod aa's.

Only buff affecting damage was Fire Core (max rank). For completeness, the buffs I had are: Imperative Focusing Rk. 2, Empowered Focus of Arcanum, Spirit of Resolve Rk. 2, Blessing of Fervor Rk. 3, Certitude Rk. 3, Spiritual Enrichment Rk. 3, Mammoth's Force Rk. 2, Spiritual Valiance Rk. 2, Preeminent Foresight Rk. 2, and perfected levitation.

[Sun Jun 30 14:43:03 2013] You are bathed in an alleviating burst.
Ok, that's a lot of info.

Basically, the max base of Broiling Sands rank 2 is 7964.
The max FC modifies is by 125% which would make the max base 17919.
SD is [(cast+recast)/7]*(worn SD) = [(0.75+4.5)/7]*410 = 307.5
It should round down somewhere and make that value 307 or less but 307 is close enough.

If SD is added last (which it is supposed to be), then the max FC+BS can do is 18226.
If SD is added before FC, then the max FC+BS can do is 18609.
I managed 19085.

To sum, sleeves and fire core will stack since I obviously broke the threshold that Fire Core can do.

PJ, I realize my above post basically says what you did earlier in the thread. I was merely making an easier to read test case for those not extremely familiar with interpreting parse data; also, I wanted a cleaner parse so that there isn't debate about crits and other mods.

So, I made a clean, easy to read data set.

I haven't updated my spreadsheet yet for the 96 - 100 spells, but it goes as PJ said.

Non Critical to make it easier, using RoF T1 raid sleeves

Non Fire Core
MinDmg = DmgUnfocused * (1+lower limit worn focus) = DmgUnfocused * 1.35
MaxDmg = DmgUnfocused * (1+upper limit worn focus) = DmgUnfocused * 2

Under Fire core
MinDmg = DmgUnfocused * (1+lower limit worn focus+lower limit FC) = DmgUnfocused * 2.1
MaxDmg = DmgUnfocused * (1+upper limit worn focus+upper limit FC) = DmgUnfocused * 3.25

This has held true ever since I started using it at level 65. I don't think any of the base calculations have changed.

& What's the max amount a Crit can amplify damage by?

Looking at my own parses, my max hits are like 210 ...

30,000 base x 3.25 from both foccii, = 97,000 , plus type 3 aug & spell dmg amounts


So I guess it's 200%?

Do we reach that cap with just our passive aa's and a glyph of cataclysm? bc I've never seen myself go past 210'ish... My own parses are self buffs only with glyph, and Im hitting 210.

What is our Passive increase to crit damage, from just aa, anyway? %

Like I said Crit DMG does not have a cap (or if it does we have not yet hit it). The highest it goes now is 250% from Illusions of Grandeur.

So going off what PJ just posted, your max crit under Fire Core would be:

MaxDmgNonCrit + DmgUnfocused*(1+2.5)

Using your 30K base in your example:

30000*3.25 + 30000*(3.5) = 202500

Of course that's off a little because you have to put in SD and type 3's in there somewhere.

I had missed this in Wire's guide, answers my question.

Unlike critical chance modifiers, damage modifiers do not stack for direct damage spells. Regardless of the slot each effect is in, only the largest will have any effect. Therefore, one should aim to stagger effects featuring critical damage modifiers.
