Ok, I saw this on some forum somewhere. I'm not sure that its 100% accurate, but it looks pretty good.

0% to 50% spec = 25% - 100% up to 50% - 100% damage

50% to 75% spec = 50% - 100% up to 75% - 125% damage.

75% to 100% spec = 75% - 125% up to 100% - 125% damage.

100% spec and over = 100% - 125% up to 125% (no varience).

As an aside, when I say 50% spec, that means 50% of the level of the spell you are using. Not 50% of your level. For example if I am level 50 and have 12 spec points in light, and I use the Sun Streak (level 24 base light DD) it would do 50% -100% damage. I use the numbers for 50% spec, because I have light specced to 50% of the level of the spell I was using (Sun Streak), even though I don't have light speced to 50% of my character's level, but .

That last paragraph was kinda confusing, and it doesn't really matter for my purposes, because I will just be using the top level baseline DD (Aurora Blast), which is a level 50 spell.

These are the variences I believe I would get for the Aurora Blast at different spec levels in light.

Light Spec 0 = 25% to 100%
Light Spec 2 = 27% to 100%
Light Spec 4 = 29% to 100%
Light Spec 6 = 31% to 100%
Light Spec 8 = 33% to 100%
Light Spec 10 = 35% to 100%
Light Spec 12 = 37% to 100%
Light Spec 14 = 39% to 100%
Light Spec 16 = 41% to 100%
Light Spec 18 = 43% to 100%
Light Spec 20 = 45% to 100%
Light Spec 22 = 47% to 100%
Light Spec 24 = 49% to 100%
Light Spec 25 = 50% to 100%
Light Spec 26 = 52% to 102%
Light Spec 28 = 56% to 106%
Light Spec 30 = 60% to 110%
Light Spec 32 = 64% to 114%
Light Spec 34 = 68% to 118%
Light Spec 36 = 72% to 122%
Light Spec 38 = 76% to 125%
Light Spec 40 = 80% to 125%
Light Spec 42 = 84% to 125%
Light Spec 44 = 88% to 125%
Light Spec 46 = 92% to 125%
Light Spec 48 = 96% to 125%
Light Spec 50 = 100% to 125%
Light Spec 50+? = 110% to 125%
Light Spec 50+? = 120% to 125%
Light Spec 50+? = 125% to 125%

Ok, that's a lot of numbers, and some extrapolation on my part, but it all seems to work. With my current plan, at level 50 I will have 48 mana, 21 light, and 12 enchantment. I think I will be able to get +7 light with items, so that would give me 28 light which is 56% to 106% damage. If I respec to 48 mana, 24 light, I'll have 31 light with items which is Light Spec 31 = 62% to 112% damage. And if I wear the diamond seal gloves instead of the epic armor gloves I will have +11 to light, so I will have 32 light with the current plan which gives me 64% to 114% and 35 light with the respec plan which gives me 70% to 120%.

Hmmm, 70% to 120% is way better than 56% to 106%...

See, isn't being totally insane fun!?!?!?!?!

Don't use vaseline, use KY Jelly it is a water based lubricant and the healthier choice.

That seems very similiar to melee damage with the exception of the spec number refering to your actual level and not the level of the style. That's why it's important to have your weapon spec at least half, and preferably 2/3 of your level. I think it's a sliding scale but I have never seen that officially confirmed.
