UnitClass

The NPC Unit Class. This Field is a Critical Value That Dictates An NPC’s Base Stats System.

An NPC’s Unit Class Is A Corner Stone Value Used In Creature_Template_Classlevelstats To Determine An NPC’s Stats.

This Value is Contained in Sniff Data: UNIT_FIELD_BYTES_0_1 – UNIT_BYTES_0_OFFSET_CLASS located in SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT

enum UnitBytes0Offsets	Name
UNIT_BYTES_0_OFFSET_RACE	0
UNIT_BYTES_0_OFFSET_CLASS	1
UNIT_BYTES_0_OFFSET_GENDER	2
UNIT_BYTES_0_OFFSET_POWER_TYPE	3

NPC Stats Refers To: (Health/Mana/Damage/Armor).

ID	Name	Comment
1	CLASS_WARRIOR
2	CLASS_PALADIN
4	CLASS_ROGUE	wotlk+
8	CLASS_MAGE

It is a Critical Field in Determining Class Level Stats For the NPC.

NOTE: Typically ONLY Vehicles Are Class=4

Warriors: Do Not Have Mana and Maximum Health and Damage
Paladins: Have a Small Amount Of Mana and Slightly Less Health and Damage From a Warrior
Rogues: (Little is Known Currently But They All Seem To Be Vehicles)
Mages: Have Lots of Mana But Have Very Low Health and Damage

Rank

This Field Determines The Rank of the NPC – enum CreatureEliteType:

Rank	Name	Comments
0	CREATURE_ELITE_NORMAL	Normal
1	CREATURE_ELITE_ELITE	Elite – Higher damage, more health, better loot.
2	CREATURE_ELITE_RAREELITE	Rare Elite – A rare mob but with elite damage and health.
3	CREATURE_ELITE_WORLDBOSS	World Boss – Highest rank, best loot, longest respawn time.
4	CREATURE_ELITE_RARE	Rare – Somewhat better loot, longer respawn time.
5	CREATURE_UNKNOWN	unkown – found in 2.2.3 for 2 mobs

HealthMultiplier

This Value Comes From WDB and Sniff Data. This Is The PRIMARY DB Value That Calculates An NPC’s Specific Health Value. NPC Have Various HealthMultipliers But Typically They Are Fairly Rounded Values

(Note: Dungeon/Raid/World Bosses Normally Have Large Very Rounded Values Normally)

This Is The Multiplier Used Against The BaseHealthExp? Value From Creature_Template_ClassLevelStats To Calculate An NPC’s Final Health Values.

Formula:
MinLevelHealth = ROUND (BaseHealthExp? * HealthMultiplier)
MaxLevelHealth = ROUND (BaseHealthExp? * HealthMultiplier)

Example:

Field	Value	Comments
Entry	871	Saltscale Warrior
MinLevel	35	(Sniff Data)
MaxLevel	36	(Sniff Data)
MinLevelHealth	1403	(Sniff Data)
MaxLevelHealth	1469	(Sniff Data)
UnitClass	1	(Sniff Data)
HealthMultiplier	1.15	(Sniff Data)

Level 35 BaseHealthExp0: 1220
(From Creature_Template_ClassLevelStats – BaseHealth Values Calculated From Sniff Data And Extensive Research)

Level 36 BaseHealthExp0: 1277
(From Creature_Template_ClassLevelStats – BaseHealth Values Calculated From Sniff Data And Extensive Research)

MinLevelHealth = ROUND (1220*1.15) = 1403 (1403)
MaxLevelHealth = ROUND (1277*1.15) = 1468.55 (1469)

PowerMultiplier

This Value Comes From WDB and Sniff Data. This Is The PRIMARY DB Value That Calculates An NPC’s Specific Mana Value. All NPC Have Nice Rounded Values For PowerMultipliers.

UNIT_FIELD_BYTES_0_3 (4), UNIT_BYTES_0_OFFSET_POWER_TYPE

This Is The Multiplier Used Against The BaseMana Value From Creature_Template_ClassLevelStats To Calculate An NPC’s Final Mana Values.

Note: BaseMana Values Do NOT Scale With Expansion Values Unlike Health And Damage.
Note: For NPC that use Other Power then Mana it will reflect that power instead.

Formula:
MinLevelMana = ROUND (BaseMana * ManaMultiplier)
MaxLevelMana = ROUND (BaseMana * ManaMultiplier)

Example:

Field	Value	Comments
Entry	7335	Death’s Head Geomancer

Level 35 BaseMana: 2680
(From Creature_Template_ClassLevelStats – BaseMana Values Calculated From Sniff Data And Extensive Research)

MinLevelMana = ROUND (2680*2) = 5360 (5360)
MaxLevelMana = ROUND (2680*2) = 5360 (5360)

DamageMultiplier

This field is the PRIMARY Field for adjusting and setting the Min/Max Damage Values for an NPC.

Damage Calculation Formulas

MIN MELEE DAMAGE = (((Creature_Template_Classlevelstats.BaseDamageExp? * Creature_Template.DamageVariance) + (Creature_Template_Classlevelstats.BaseMeleeAttackPower / 14)) * (Creature_Template.BaseMeleeAttackTime / 1000)) * Creature_Template.Dmg_Multiplier

MAX MELEE DAMAGE = ((((Creature_Template_Classlevelstats.BaseDamageExp? * Creature_Template.DamageVariance) * 1.5) + (Creature_Template_Classlevelstats.BaseMeleeAttackPower / 14)) * (Creature_Template.BaseMeleeAttackTime / 1000)) * Creature_Template.Dmg_Multiplier

Some NPC Have Damage Multipliers Applied To Increase Their Damage Above That Of a Normal NPC Of The Same Level.

I am sure people are asking… WHY is there more then just a simple Damage Multiplier Involved To Boost NPC Damage? Here is the only logical answer. With some NPC (Like Bosses) Who have Multipliers in the range of 20 – 75 Min and Max Damage values can fluctuate into VERY Large Ranges. So What Blizz has done is create a Co-Efficient System of 2 Values to help Reign in Max Damage Values so if you require a Set Min/Max Damage For an NPC it can scale the BaseDamage so after being put though the Formula The Min and Max Damage values will be within the Required Range. Damage Variance is used to reduce the Max Damage Value. For NPC Who Do NOT Have an altered Damage Variance the Default Value used is 1 (Normal Variance = 1).

Here is an Example of an NPC Melee Damage Calculation
-—————————————————————————
Nexus-Prince Shaffar = Unit Class 2 (BOSS)
Level 66: BaseDamage = 78.472 / Melee AttackPower = 266 / Base Melee Attack Time = 2000
Bestiary Min Dmg: 1136
Bestiary Max Dmg: 1593
Damage Variance: 1.0 (No Variance)
Damage Multiplier: 5.83 (Calculated Value)

CalculatedMinMeleeDmg=ROUND + (Base Melee Attackpower / 14)) * (Base Attack Time/1000)) * Damage Multiplier
= ((((78.472 * 1.0) + (266/14)) * (2000/1000)) * 5.83
= (((78.472) + 19) * 2) = 194.944 * 5.83 = 1136.52352

CalculatedMaxMeleeDmg=ROUND * 1.5) + (Base Melee Attack Power / 14)) * (Base Attack Time/1000)) * Damage Multiplier
= ((((78.472 * 1.0) * 1.5) + (266/14)) * (2000/1000)) * 5.83
= (((117.708) + 19) * 2) = 273.416 * 5.83 = 1594.01528

Bestiary lists Sneed with a range of 97 – 129 damage. He attacks once every 2 seconds (unconfirmed). Given the formula above …

97 = X * ((9.6823) + (70 / 14)) * (2000 / 1000)
129 = X * ((9.6823 * 1.5) + (70 / 14)) * (2000 / 1000)

NOTE:

Very Slight Rounding Errors of 1 or 2 Damage Might Occur… This was due to Rounding When Generating BaseDamage Values in Calculations.

DamageVariance

Damage Variance is a Co-Efficient used in Damage Calculations To Limit the Min/Max Damage Range.

Default Value is 1 (Normal) ===> See DamageMultiplier for More Information

ArmorMultiplier

This Value Is The Multiplier Value Used To Multiply Against BaseArmor Value in Creature_Template_Classlevelstats

Most Normal NPC are = 1
