Oi, there're a bunch of bugs lurking abouts. I was checking the druid/shaman/mage spells and found a few of them were a bit off. For example:

Healing Stream Totem
Rank 1 Restoration 20 65 0.00 0.0 Self Only Summons a Healing Stream Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster for 60 seconds that heals group members within 20 yards for 15 every 0 seconds.

Every 0 seconds, eh? Damn, and I thought this would be useful...

Actually, every 0 seconds would be amazingly useful. Every 0 seconds for 60 seconds means you receive the effect 60/0 times. It would be going off constantly -- the reason you can't divide by zero is because it effectively results in infinity.

Hrm, lemme check the math...

f(x) = 60/x; as x approaches 0, f(x) goes to infinity, that much is true...
...but x cannot be equal to 0, as that would be no solution. If it were actually every 0 seconds, the computer would explode.

The limit as X approaches zero, then. The answer is still infinity and still makes the computer explode, but there is a defined solution.

Wow, that (sadly) just made my day. Mind if I use that in my sig (quoted, of course)?
