WOTLK Tip- Understanding the Spell Power Stat


Along with the 3.0.2 WOTLK patch was that Blizzard combined Spell Damage and Healing all into single stat called Spell Power. This was done because it will allow Blizzard to maintain loot tables because it reduces the amount of items that are needed.

This also means that casters that are "specced" for damage are able to boost healing more and dedicated healer can inflict more damage when they are not casting a heal. This makes all casters more versatile during a battle.

Stats for haste rating, hit rating, and critical rating are tied to melee and spells. This reduces the number of the stat modifiers which is for easing things more than anything. The overall effect is the amount of gear on an epic instance boss's loot table is cut down substantially. This cuts out the super specialized gear that no one ends up wanting.

It does however create a bit more competition between dps and healing casters as they will regularly be rolling for the same items.
