his interpretation of diminishing returns is weird I just saw his vid on youtube and when he said recovery gets worse because you need more and more for the next percentage I started to doubt the rest. while every percentage does indeed need more recovery, each percentage is stronger too best example to show this 5 second…
I'm not saying they don't get any higher, I'm saying its weird that *his* IBS crits for more with much less power he has ~600 ArP more, but over 1k power less. yet dummies have 0 Armor and while the armor can go into negatives, it *might* be capped @ around ~-15% I also used Slam+Unstoppable but couldn't get above ~14k…
hmm pretty nice find. how much -defense can groups stack without ArP equipment? 45% from GWF + ? I don't think ArP will turn out to be good in group *PvE* unless bosses have a sick amount of dmg reduction I still wonder how arazith07 got a 17k IBS (if its true in the first place) then though
Hmmm, just went into a foundry fighting an Ogre, kinda difficult to make something out of this mess... Basically, whenever my debuffs were up, I had stuff like 650(593) rolling I also had WMS doing 1378(1076) <--- thats an increase of nearly 30%... maybe the 10% dmg buff from it is also adding to that number? and to make…
that would explain why I'm not getting much more out of 3 stacks one thing is still weird though, because I'm @ 4,6% arp from items, and if the debuff is not applied, i'm not getting the damage bonus was someone else (a GWF) attacking your dummy, or do you have skills that apply -defense etc.? maybe it'll only go into…
while that is most likely or certainly true it could also be higher than the number in brackets because of combat advantage edit: however I'm still getting higher numbers even without CA so it does go into negatives, and I only have ~2,7% ArP edit2: I'm also getting this... *very* odd. while its okay that the DoT and…
combat advantage + armor debuff + WMSdebuff + destroyer feats... though WITHOUT +25% power from slam that is one of the "higher" ones - so weapon average has already been accounted for edit: with all that *and* Unstoppable (10% encounter dmg) + Slam I reached one with 13k, might've been a low one though so lets say it goes…
we are already like 1 page ahead of you. skills scale differently, while IBS gets a huge dmg increase from power, others do not (i.e. charge) power (especially with +%power increase feets) will outpreform crit rather quickly if you use IBS if I didn't make a mistake, you can see that Roar scales with a coefficent of 1.…
im currently going for power I'm doing ~11k on dummy with IBS WITH combat advantage I use PvP stuff + blue belt+neck with green rings the epics are mostly unenchanted though I even use "smiting" blues on head and feet both blues have +500 power each sry to say that but I don't believe you at all its not difficult to find…
the amount of enemies present have nothing to do with it, even if you use roar solely on single targets, it will be better to have 1% crit instead of 150 power if you have enough weapon damage etc. if the timeframe is long enough of course to root out RNG no they are accounted for the first one has 30% crit and X+150 power…
the thing is, when I first wrote this - I thought power would add a flat damage bonus, without any coefficents, while this isn't true its still up to question whether the coefficents are actually high enough to outshine +crit or arp. the GWF is kinda unlucky with its stat priorities if you ask me, while other classes…
Finally some numbers rolling, doesn't matter whether anyone is right or wrong atm, its good to see a few people think stuff over... am I missing a website or something were theorycrafting is done? well whatever I did some "testing" and found out that skills do indeed get a different amount of damage out of power my 3 most…
Since we are somewhat talking about damage and AoE i'm going to throw some questions into this discussion has anyone a list of all the abilities and the "max targets" they are able to hit, not sure if everyone noticed but WMS for example is not able to damage more than 5 targets at once, so is IBS and if I'm not mistaken -…
the gear is not blue unless you pay with crystals ~10k each item and the green ones have only power+arp on them and arn't any better than drops. so not really worth it, unless I'm visiting the wrong ones.
