Spell Power — WoW Classic stat
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
Spell Power is a secondary stat of WoW Classic that boosts spell damage and healing. It is the key number for everyone who damages or heals with magic: the mage, warlock, priest and healers on the WowX5 x5 server. Unlike the primary stats, spell power comes almost entirely from gear.
Not every spell gets the full bonus. A coefficient sets the share — keep it in mind when comparing fast and slow spells.
Damage and healing
In WoW Classic spell power splits into two branches. Spell damage is divided by magic school: fire, frost, arcane, nature, shadow and holy. Healing power boosts healing effects. Items often list separate lines: "+fire damage" only helps fire spells, while "+spell damage and healing" applies more broadly.
- School damage — boosts spells of that magic school only.
- Universal spell damage — applies to all schools.
- Healing power — works only on healing spells.
Spell coefficients
The coefficient shows what share of your spell power a spell takes. The rule is simple: for direct spells the coefficient equals cast time divided by 3.5. So a slow Fireball takes almost all your spell power, while instant and fast spells take only part.
| Spell type | Coefficient | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 3.5s cast or longer | Nearly 100% | Fireball |
| Fast cast | Proportional to time | Shadow Bolt |
| Periodic damage | Share for full effect | Corruption, Rot |
Who needs spell power
The stat is core for casters: the mage, warlock, priest, plus healers and casters among druids, shamans and paladins. To empower magic you also want intellect for crit and mana. Build a pre-raid set for your school and study the rotations. Create a caster on WowX5 x5 and unleash the full power of magic.
