I didn't consider the different shape of the attack on EB Frenzy, good point. Re: NW vs ID Mastery, this is something I've debated a lot in my head and am not 100% set on, so I value the feedback. NW does have a built in attack that uses stealth (forget the name) and I have found it very effective as an opener. While…

Thank you for another round of helpful comments. Yes my testing showed that EBA is the huge damage dealer here and like you said, works well with combo with brawler (though I'm not there yet), which is part of the reason I didn't see a huge problem giving up some of the Ego Weaponry damage in exchange for healing. My PTS…

Thank you, I hadn't looked at telepathy. Any others you can think of?

Yes I did read the stickied DPS thread and learned several of the same things. I was testing putting all gear resources into one stat, which is of course a SS (or PSS) so that slotted passive and all damage bonus of course scale off of it. Then I was picking up a toggle that also scales off that stat and a spec that makes…

Another wonderful answer that gets right to the heart of what I was looking for! I did originally try this as EGO primary (for the specs) with gearing for DEX - actually tried both a ranged and melee variant - but was hoping there was a way to do EGO gearing for EGO. Of course gearing for DEX means nice crit rate scaling,…

Ya the scaling really bites. In the above scenario the champion has about a 70% increase in damage from crits (ignoring this relevant, but too complicated for me to digest at this point damage layers). So the "half" scaling is actually actually results in one quarter the damage increase. As you said, this is because the…

Thanks, I was about to say my test seemed to show the same thing. I guess the remaining question about snapshotting is whether crit chance/severity get snapshotted upon summon. I will test this next. Though I did some messing around with gear and am beginning to realize that the limited crit scaling is really a huge drag…
-
Now I'm curious about the gearing options when testing a new champion on the PTS. The debugger has some items for sale, but for other things, like Justice gear, is it possible to test on a new champion? Edit: And I think I just found it further down in the list of Debugger currency
-
Maybe the snapshotting is something I just need to do some testing myself. My point with AoPM was that if pets are snapshotted upon summoning and if they are set at least in part by the player scores (in Petco you say that they benefit from all damage strength from SS and that their health is set by PSS and SS), then it's…

Thanks again for all the help. Well at least I can't say I don't know the limitations going in. Still, I think I will give it a try since I have to start playing at some point and it seems like they aren't 100% useless, just not reliable against harder content. I have a lot to learn before I'm at that point anyway! So this…

@flowcyto Thank you very much, that is an extremely useful resource! I have done some of my own testing and was very uncertain about the crit/severity scaling since I had gotten my character crit up to about 40% but was not seeing 40% crit chance from pets. The part where you explain that they only scale by HALF the listed…

Thank you, I will give this a try!

Thank you for the response. To be clear, the Power House just lets you try options once you have already earned them, right? Meaning to see how a build will really play later on, one still needs to level up, right? Regarding Aesica's Hero Creator, thank you for the good recommendation, I've already been playing with it. On…
