The gloves foci is supposed to always do max damage, which is why it's limited to one spell, and a level 29 spell at that.

The Wiz one only works on Inferno Shock. Inferno Shock does 250 damage for 137 mana in 3.7 seconds at level 33+. With the elemental gloves focus, it'd do 625 damage for 137 in 3.7 seconds. That's a 4.56:1 damage to mana spell.

Then you add in specialization, which decreases mana cost from 137 to 124. Since it's elemental armor, we'll assume that Casting Mastery AA is maxed out, so that changes it to 40% off mana cost, so it ends up at 82 mana.

Add in a mana preservation item II+ item, and that's another 10% off base mana cost, which brings you to 68 mana per cast.

Add in a Spell casting Haste foci, and you drop the time down to 3.34. Add in Cleric spell haste spell, and you've got it down to 3 seconds.

So, 625 damage for 68 mana in 3 seconds = 9.19:1 damage:mana; or ~125 DPS. Not Counting Crits...

I figure Tier 4 Wizzies will have around 5.5k mana, which would allow for you to cast Inferno Shock about 80 times, not counting mana regen. With Super Flappy + SP + VoQ + FS + Horse + MC3 you get ~58 mana a tick, or ~8.8 mana/second.
Inferno Shock costs ~13.9 mana per second with the above AA and items. With the buffs listed, you get ~8.8 mana per second. So with uber mana regen, Inferno Shock's mana cost comes down to ~15.3 mana per cast.

So, for a recap: 625 damage, for ~15 mana in 3 seconds. That's allowing you to chain nuke Inferno Shock for ~366 casts, or ~18.3 minutes before you'd run out of mana.

And this spell only has the aggro of a level 29 250 damage nuke...

And you guys are bitching? This is like the ultimate caster toy, even better than the wiz epic I'd say...

Your post means nothing, there's no graph.
