hi, here is how i spent my last 25 mins
These calculations average out every attack (including crits), so this is about what your damage would look like on a deeprun rat.
SPMA = Shovelphlange's Mining Axe
MZF = Mallet of Zul'Farrak
y=damage (output)
x=attack power (input)
Basically just put your AP in for x and calculate it and you'll get your damage
MZF white damage formula: y=(3.1x+1449.56)/14
SPMA white damage formula: y=(3.6526x+1314.936)/14
MZF yellow damage formula: y=(2.976x+1449.56)/14
SPMA yellow damage forumula: y=3.1308x+1314.936)/14
putting each set of equations together you get the intersections:
SPMA white swings hit harder than MZF after 244 AP
SPMA yellow swings hit harder than MZF after 870 AP
With a perfect setup, youll have 650-700 AP with battle shout up, so your damage would look something like this (not including AP from weapon stats). Not mitigated.
MZF white: 253
SPMA white: 270
SPMA > MZF by ~17 damage
MZF yellow: 247
SPMA yellow: 245
MZG > SPMA by ~2 damage
As your AP gets higher, SPMA's damage pulls further and further away from mallet.
They are very close, and while the dps on the ZF Mallet is higher by around 8 dps, the benefits from a swing timer reset are good enough for a number junkie to drool over.
Furthermore, putting crusader on SPMA would yield more procs than the ZF mallet. Crusader is a 1 ppm enchant, so SPMA (2.8 speed) would proc it 1 in every 21.4 hits, and MZF (2.5 speed) would proc it once in every 24 hits.
It certainly can be left to personal preference which weapon to choose, but I know there are some people out there who are just looking for a definitive answer. Personally, I'll be sporting a ZF mallet in 1v1s and arenas because the extra 80 health is a pretty nice increase for my post-3.1 health pool. It also looks cooler =D
I added this into my warrior guide and updated some other parts for the last patch. cheers
