GWF Intimidation Calculator by NezRaaL

nezraal · October 2014

UPDATE 1.1: All bugs are fixed, the calculator is working as intended. 3 people conducted the tests and it's giving the correct result for CAGI, thanks to Zvieris for testing and pointing out the bug.

Hello everyone,

I used my lunch time to update a little something I was working with before for Sentinels in Mod5 to see what damage they would be giving for their allocated RI% and Power. The comparison should be used for "CAGI" only.

It answers questions such as:

A) Should I boost RI% or Power?

How does my damage compare between Mod5 and Mod4?

http://liquidtear.com/nezcalc/ (link for my CAGI calculator)

Ability Damage for CAGI, what it means in this calculator:

In Mod4 if you have 7000 power, your ability damage will be 0.5x7000 =3500
In Mod5 if you have 7000 power, your ability damage will be 0.35x7000 =2450

I tested the results on dummy earlier and they seem fairly accurate. It helped me decide whether I should keep intimidation in mod5 or move on to FLS > TD > IBS or keep the current FLS > CAGI > DS combination. Using the calculator I wrote, here are some results. My RI% is 41 and assumed by opponent DR% to be 44 (you can change that in the calculator).

Intimidation feat ability damage on 11800k power = 0.5 x 11800= 5900 mod4, 4130 mod5
STR is 30
Weapon Damage is artifact weapon damage, say purple = 0 for intimidation, the field is for future use
Power is 11799
Don't forget the DR% (opponent) and RI% (your resistance ignored) column!
Buff Multiplier is optional, for example add % bonus from Marked, trample the fallen etc.

* NOTE : Intimidation feat for CAGI / DS does not care about Weapon Damage.

"7401" is your final damage with the correct DR and RI%.

Thanks

this is cool.. doesnt this apply with DS as well?

what do you need to put the Power stat for? when you already compute it for the Ability damage?
lets say 10k power
thats 10,000 x .35 = 3500.. right?

Wait what? Why is there weapon damage in the formula? Intimidation doesn't count in weapon damage. The base damage is purely based on power.

That's not correct. I think it does, the results seem accurate. I tested both on preview and regular. If not, what is the damage formula you are referring to?

By what you are saying, say RI% and DR% is 40.

0.35x8000 = 2800. Tht's NOT the correct damage. Base damage (in-game) on my weapon shows approximately 8.5k damage on preview, which is what my calculator is giving. Can you verify?

Yes that's correct.
Applies to DS as well, but keep in mind the stack buffs you are getting since everyone will go CAGI > DS. To keep it simple I said CAGI only. I will improve it slowly add different skills independently over time.

even more impressive..
but if you already compute for the ability damage on your own, what does the extra power entry have to do on your calculator? wont it just make your calculations inaccurate? sorry.. its just confusing

offtopic:
i just dont understand why they have to nerf initmidation..

@edongrivera - if you want to check the formula being used for CAGI, go the page link, right click "Inspect Element", scroll down to where it says "script". There you will be able to see what is being used. This applies for this skill only, and from what I see from preview and current versions the damage is accurate. If someone feel it's not feel free to point it out.

"just dont understand why they have to nerf intimidation"

Critical damage can give outstanding damage at 50% on 10k power. You can 2 shot your opponent even if he/she is on 21k GS gear! Here is a link to a video PvP (EOA vs Absolute premade) that verifies results:

I mean this:

So yea, I've no idea why did you put weapon damage there.

nezraal · November 2014

You are correct! I marked my targets earlier and I assumed the weapon damage was playing a role in the formula!

I PUT THE WEAPON DAMAGE as "0" and it's showing the correct result!

EDIT: I made corrections. Please double check. Putting your name in the credit!

Well, I assume disciple of strength and endless assault heroic feats could play a part. But other than that I've no clue

For that factor I put an "optional" field called Buff Multiplier

Here is the screenshot: you get 7400, the calculator gives 7401

I put your name as zvieris in credit for the bug correction.

Zvieris will do, thanks

No worries

that field is for future use. The calculator is working 100% as intended and matches in-game result. Weapon damage does not work on CAGI. So for now, I am hiding it completely.

Yes, DR is the enemy damage resistance. DR will vary from person to person, which varies on your opponent's AC and Defense. For example I have 46%. in your in-game character look for "Damage Resistance".

Formula for RI for GWF

Resistance Ignored = Armor Penetration + Your CON - 10

Press "C" in game, on right side column you will find these values.

For DR:

Look for DEFENSE header and you will see "Damage Resistance", this varies in your opponent from person to person.

For RI:

Look for RATINGS, Armor Penetration hover on the number you will see Resistance Ignored.
Say that number is 22.5

Add THAT value to your (CON-10), for example my CON is 29.

22.5 + (29 - 10) = 41.5

Does this help?

Wow you damage like a beat 11.5k power *flips* - now sharing your build eh?!

Click insert image in forum and use the url you posted. Doing it for you.

Using your stats i used the calculator, it seems you used some other buff. I will find out what it is!

You are getting 13k in-game, I get 12.55k on calculator.
It seems some other damage stacked ? ;] Glyph ? Boon temp increase power on sprint ?

TIME FOR SOME SMART DETECTIVE WORK!!!

nezraal · November 2014

Found it! Har har har har.

You used this.

(above). So taking THAT into consideration we have another 360 power

Your in-game damage shows 13075, from your screenshot above. The calculator gives 13119.

Rounding some numbers, we get slight difference in results, so it's fair to say the calculator is working as intended. whateva you do ... DON'T post your CRITICAL Damage!
