Hey guys, can someone tell me if Combat Advantage is 400:1% or one of those that has a better translation?

Thanks :smile:

    Here you go. All credit goes to the original authors.

    Short version: the Combat Advantage stat has heavy diminishing returns and has an hard cap of 11.36%. It doesn't have a simple 400:1% or 100:1% ratio, because of the diminishing returns. It's only worth stacking it up to around 9% or something less, which would mean 1200 or so Combat Advantage stat. Anything more and it really becomes not worth the investment in stat points.

    Ah cool, thanks a lot for the info. IT's pretty easy to reach that cap isn't it? Two boons put you at 800pts and it looks like it's not worth going over 1- 1.2k

    All of the secondary stats give around 1% per 100 until you hit 600, besides regen and movement. I don't believe you can hit 10%, no matter how high of a total, I think 2200 was the highest I had combat adv. 800 gives 7.4%, 1000 gives 8.1%, it diminishes badly after 800. It's why I started using symbol of fire and other artifacts that didn't have secondary stat vs say recovery.

    Actually I have a follow up question;

    if I had 9% CA and then got an epic Blink Dog (5% CA) would I go to an effective 14% and thus avoid the cap?

    I don't think anything that gives flat %'s are influenced by the cap. Like stamina gain and action point gain. You can get straight %'s off boons. The actual point total's you can build of the secondary stats, and the % they give, look like they stack on whatever % you have.

    Cool, so it should increase without problems? That'd be good.
