[Reference] Aura of Courage

dupeksdupeks Member Posts: 1,789 Arc User
edited July 2018 in The Citadel
Aura of Courage (AoC) is an important aura for OPs interested in aiding party DPS. In many cases, it can make up a significant portion of our individual or allies' damage. This is because AoC benefits from buffs/debuffs, which can be plentiful in end-game groups. Additionally, AoC is proc'd on many powers that don't otherwise do damage, adding another avenue for damage generation. Below, I've documented a bit about how AoC works, with combat log proof.

Mechanics Overview
  • Based on each individual's current max HP, including temporary sources of HP like food (but not "temporary HP"). AoC is not based solely on the OP's HP (the tooltip is unclear and could be interpreted wrong).
  • Procs on At-Will or Encounter powers which target or damage enemies, but not most damaging procs / effects (ex. CW's SS or Abyss of Chaos) and not Encounters that do not target enemies (ex. OP's CoP, DC's AS). Not proc'ed by companions.
  • Most powers proc AoC once, but some powers can proc it multiple times (Burning Light, for instance, procs between 1 and 9 times depending on how long you charge it).
  • Damage is consistent (no random damage range), but it scales (see below)
  • Does not crit
  • Does not benefit Wheel of Elements (AoC does not cause Wheel hits and vice versa)
  • Scales with damage buffs on players
  • Scales with debuffs on enemies
  • Scales with Power on players
  • Scales with attribute modifiers on other players (OPs don't have a +dmg attrib)
  • Inherits "Single Target" vs "AoE" attribute from the underlying power that proc'd it
Credits
@veywiil#8685 for prompting me to do this (without intending to)
@micky1p00 for building that snazzy tool so I have to do less math
@aasur for getting near-naked and testing allied interatcions
@rjc9000 for being my paladin in shining armor and awkwardly standing around while I fiddled with Focused Wizardry

Proofs

AoC scales as expected with Power

2,361 power 122,655 hp

[8:31] [Combat (Self)] Your Oath Strike deals 225 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
[8:31] [Combat (Self)] Your Aura of Courage deals 2027 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.

9,578 power 122,655 hp

[8:32] [Combat (Self)] Your Oath Strike deals 265 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
[8:32] [Combat (Self)] Your Aura of Courage deals 2373 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.

Using Jannes snazzy tool, moving from 2,361 to 9,578 power should yield
Theoretical damage increase:17.074%.

And 2373 / 2027 = 1.17069 meaning
Actual damage increase: 17.069%.

AoC does not work/interact with Wheel of Elements

3,329 power 120,631 hp

No Wheel
[8:47] [Combat (Self)] Your Oath Strike deals 235 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
[8:47] [Combat (Self)] Your Aura of Courage deals 2042 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.

With Wheel
[8:47] [Combat (Self)] Your Oath Strike deals 232 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
[8:47] [Combat (Self)] Your Aura of Courage deals 2042 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
[8:47] [Combat (Self)] Your Wheel of Elements: Fire deals 70 Fire Damage to Target Dummy.

2042 vs. 2042
AoC damage did not change, so it's not being included in the AoC hit.

Wheel damage appears to be based on only the underlying Oath Strike hit.
70 / 232 = 0.30172413793 ~ 30%.
2042 * 30% = 612.6
If AoC was contributing to Wheel damage, Wheel would be hitting for way more (70 vs. 682).

AoC scales as expected with temporary sources of "real" HP

Base Case
9,578 power 116,015 hp

[10:06] [Combat (Self)] Your Oath Strike deals 263 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
[10:06] [Combat (Self)] Your Aura of Courage deals 2244 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.

With Zurek (theoretically +5000 HP, but i have energon equipped and maybe other source of +%HP buff... sorry)
9,578 power 121,510 hp

[10:12] [Combat (Self)] Your Oath Strike deals 271 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
[10:12] [Combat (Self)] Your Aura of Courage deals 2350 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.

Theoretical increase: 121,510 / 116,015 = 1.04736456493 ~ 4.73% theoretical increase
Actual increase: 2350 / 2244 = 1.04723707665 ~ 4.72% actual increase

    2,361 power 116,290 hp

    Base Case
    [10:58] [Combat (Self)] Your Oath Strike deals 229 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
    [10:58] [Combat (Self)] Your Aura of Courage deals 1921 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.

    AoC for Allies scales with their individual HP, not OP's HP

    Ally Attack Base Case

    Ally: 11,290 power, 40,827 hp
    Me: 9,578 power, 124,888 hp

    [14:36] [Combat (Party)] Zaaph Songsworn deals 143 Arcane Damage to Target Dummy with Magic Missile.
    [14:36] [Combat (Party)] Zaaph Songsworn deals 728 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy with Aura of Courage.

    [14:37] [Combat (Self)] Your Oath Strike deals 270 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.
    [14:37] [Combat (Self)] Your Aura of Courage deals 2373 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy.

    2373 / 728 = 3.25961538462 ~ 325.96% difference in AoC damage between ally and myself.
    Clearly AoC damage is different for my ally, and our power is not THAT different. It appears that it's based on each ally's HP individually, and not the OP's HP.

    AoC for Allies scales with their attribute bonus

    Ally Attack Base Case
    Ally: 11,290 power, 40,827 hp
    Int 24 = 14% dmg bonus from Int
    728 base damage

    [14:36] [Combat (Party)] Zaaph Songsworn deals 143 Arcane Damage to Target Dummy with Magic Missile.
    [14:36] [Combat (Party)] Zaaph Songsworn deals 728 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy with Aura of Courage.

    With Heroism Potion Int 25 = 15% dmg bonus from Int
    [14:39] [Combat (Party)] Zaaph Songsworn deals 142 Arcane Damage to Target Dummy with Magic Missile.
    [14:39] [Combat (Party)] Zaaph Songsworn deals 734 Radiant Damage to Target Dummy with Aura of Courage.

    Expected damage: 728 * [1+(1.15 - 1.14) / 1.14] = 734.385964912
    Actual damage = 734

    That it's actually based on each individual's HP. This is well-known but I don't have combat log proof right now.

    Very easy to test. Take one more player to dummies, turn on AoC on your OP, let other player check the damage of AoC, change max HP on OP, let the other player check his AoC damage again.

    Agreed ;) I woke up early, my FL is barren and nobody in guild answered my shout. Not a pressing issue, will post proof eventually. Edit: Done

    Since you are using a CW friend for your testing, I would love to know if bonus damage fron Chilling Presence affects AOC damage. Also would love to know if things like chill stacks, storm spell, or Abyss proc AOC as well.
    Does Lantern artifact (or any artifact for that matter) affect AOC? Any mount or companion powers/bonuses affect AOC.

    Ok you can kick me out of the Citadel now...lol

    Lol I'm just a DC main who self-shamed into doing this AoC legwork on a lazy weekend.

    Not as rigorous as my previous testing, as I only glanced through existing logs from FBI (not speed-run, but respectable sub-20min time). But here are some vague answers:

    1) It likely works with most personal buffs (probably including Chilling Presence). I can't offer you proof, just guided speculation based on how high everyone's hits of AoC can get.

    On one particular dragon turtle encounter, for instance, my biggest AoC hit (triggered by Oath Strike) was 559,420, the CW was next with 451,642 (triggered by Magic Missle), and top DPS HR with 233,734 (triggered by Careful Attack). Full debuff team and all that, but it would be impossible for the CW to hit that hard it it wasn't counting a majority of her self-buffs.

    Overall 14% of turtle's incoming damage was AoC (highest contributor, with 2nd being thorned roots). It's telling that even though HR brought in more damage overall in the battle, CW was hitting higher for AoC (400k's vs 200k's). Probably because CW had stronger self-buffs and slightly higher HP. (More specifically, I'm thinking stuff like Focused Wizardry is probably at play here. My HP was well over 2x the CWs, and my power is higher, so the only remaining factor is buffs/debuffs... and it can't be debuffs b/c those are party wide... so personal buffs are the last remaining explanation for why CW would hit so much harder than the HR when compared to my hit).

    For the HR, AoC made up 8% of their damage (4th highest) over the fight vs. 16% for CW (2nd highest after disintegrate). This also highlights that certain classes benefit more from AoC than others. Those with stronger self-buffs, more HP, and also faster encounters will gain more from AoC.

    2) It appears to trigger only on At-Wills or Encounters, not damage effects like Storm Spell or Abyss. But it does trigger on encounters that wouldn't otherwise do damage, as long as they appear to affect enemies. So it'll proc on BO or Bane, but not on CoP.

    3) Again I would make the claim (with no proof) that most buffs or debuffs work. But I'm honestly tapped out in terms of testing this for this week. Might come back to it in a while haha. Please let me know if you get around to verifying any of your points of interest (esp if you have log / ACT proof).

    Edit: One of my alts is this prot-OP that I've tried to craft into a Power-Share / AoC dailyspam dragonheart (those last two primarily for the shep's / arti's movespeed) because AoC and Power-Share are unique to OP class and after you've contributed to damage, stacking movespeed is the best for party utility imo (folks can get out of the way better in combat, and run faster between mobs = win / win). As it happens I usually come in at about 1/5th of the top DPS in T2+ which isn't amazing but good enough, plus we all zoom around and it's a hoot to play.

    BL procs AoC for each tick, up to 9 for full charge AFAIK. Oath Strike is pretty quick at-will. I think Mirage weps on anyone count for AoC :)

    Let me rephrase...each mirage can proc AOC independently. They proc a lot of other things as well, but this is a discussion on AOC, and I thought it might be useful information for those, like myself, that are interested in how to increase AOC damage/frequency.

    AoC does not have a cooldown, I am fairly sure given the MASSIVE amounts of damage it can do. It might have a cooldown but it would have to be VERY low, and on a per target basis. Otherwise AoC simply would not do >30% of our dps in an average run...

    I once again wait for me to be wrong and Dupeks to come along and be like 40 minute cooldown on AoC. Wouldn't be the first time. :)

    It doesn't have a cooldown that I am aware of. It can definitely hit multiple times per second (just from Burning Light, let alone other hits at the time). It can also simultaneously hit multiple enemies.

    However, it is proc'd in a manner that I would describe as "similar to Weapon Enchantments". By that I mean it's proc'd 1 or more times by different powers, but the proc rate is related to the power mechanics rather than just the "number of hits" a power generates. Similar to how others tested WE procs, we would need to test AoC procs.

    It's also possible that for some reason (especially in the heat of combat with a hamster-load of calculations going on) it's not proc'ing AoC as it should, or randomly dropping them / overwriting them.

    I don't think I have a recent log where I ran with a TR (and I'm not about to go hunting through my archives), but I can try to remember to take a look next time I party up with a TR.

    @wileecoyoteym out of curiosity, is your WE proc'ing the expected number of times?

    only one question how it ranks? so it says 1% of maximum hit points right? the next 3 ranks+10% damage+10 % damage+10% damage what is about ?

    from what i understand is if you have 180000 hp you deal 1800 damage that damage goes 2400 if the aura of courage is rank 4 ? 1800+30%=2340.
    AM i right?

    I would have to verify your claim, but I believe that's how it works yes.

    Bear in mind it also scales with power, personal damage buffs, and debuffs. So the numbers you get are not going to be perfect unless you have no buffs, no debuffs, and no power.

    Importantly, the +X% from rank Y only applies to the OP's hits, not allies' hits.

    I have not checked for every class, but for CW, Aura of Courage procs for 0.9% of your HP and not 1%.

    Oh how interesting. Thanks for this.

    I wonder if the power is built to do 0.9% + 0.1% * (Aura of Courage rank) damage. And allies count as having rank 0.

    That might explain why some of my exploratory math for ally wasn't tying out like I would like it to. I'll prob get a chance to play a little more this weekend.

    Does it have a cooldown? Like a .5 sec or something because when I hit with duelist flurry it only proc like 5-8 times and DF hits around 13 times in 4 seconds

    I took a look at some logs with a TR and an OP. I'm not seeing what you describe, I'm seeing an AoC hit after each DF hit. It's possible it might be missing 1 or 2 once in a while, but certainly not half like you are suggesting.

    BUT

    DF Bleeds don't trigger an AoC hit. Is it possible you're expecting hits after both the DF hits and the bleeds?

    Nope. As best as I can tell the formula is [0.9% + (rank) * 0.1%] meaning at rank 4 it's 1.3%.

    It's worth noting that it appears for those who aren't the OP, the damage calculation might be treating them as rank 0 because it appears that they are hitting for 0.9% of their max HP.

    Anyone know if aura of courage counts as single target damage? Or, is it based on what procs it?

    If the ability has to have a target to use and it does damage, then it will proc this ability, is the general guidance. If the ability has splash damage, then those splashed will be hit by this. Control Wizard damage is made AoE by slotting an ability in their Tab, but it is targeted to a monster, thus proccing AoC. Whereas a HR has AoE abilities that are ground targeted or non-monster targeted, which would not benefit from AoC.

    I think the question is "If I use Focused Wizardry (+30% damage to Single Target, -10% damage to AoE)", does AoC benefit from the +30% buff (meaning it's counting as single target)? Does it depend on the power that triggered it?

    I'm not certain about that answer... I can try to see if I can test with a CW friend over the weekend but recently it's been getting harder to find time to play.

    Wheel of Elements: Fire is an additional damage proc (similar to Aura of Courage itself) that is based on the original hit. Why is it listed as an exception to the damage buff rule, when it is not a damage buff?
