Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I just came across something curious. Whenever I equip an item that gives attack power, the ranged attack power increases in the tooltip but the dps remains the same. These are the items I use

Crown of Tyranny
Increases attack power by 40

Helm of Fire
+17 agility

Juju of Might
Increases attack power by 40

When I have Crown of Tyranny equipped or I have no helm equipped, my ranged dps is 48.3. When I have Helm of Fire equipped, my ranged dps is 50.7. Also, with no head slot equipped, my melee dps is 32.5, but when I equip Crown of Tyranny, my melee dps becomes 35.4. When I buff myself with Juju of might, my melee dps increases to 38.2 but my ranged dps remains unchanged.

Certain buffs only affect melee AP, juju might, fengus' ferocity, etc. Unsure about how attack power from items should work, but good luck to you in finding the sources.

Working as intended. Attack power from items is both melee and ranged. Attack power buffs, with trueshot aura being the only exceptions I am aware of, only provide melee attack power. One blue post (I believe it's mentioned in one of the links below) stated that only buffs explicitly stating that they provide ranged attack power (such as aspect of the hawk) increase ranged damage. Trueshot aura used to specify that it affects both ranged and melee attack power as well, but the tooltip was changed in patch 1.11 for no apparent reason while the functionality remained the same.
