@unspecifiederror You don't get that min-maxing has nothing to do with only being able to beat content by using it (at least not in this game up to now - it's just too easy) and that it's completely irrational to argue something is situation-based if we are talking percentage healing increases anyway so it narrows down to…

Hi guyz, like i said i am too impatient to discuss this topic a lot anymore, yet i couldn't resist peeking in here again. Thus i will continue to answer on striking posts from time to time but i won't go into detail or reply to every single thing anymore... For now i just wanna reply to unspecifiederror: In fact none of…

Sorry for anyone hoping for any updates on this but i decided to ignore this thread for now, maybe i will come back extending it once playworthy content is released and not every randomguy that thinks to be awesome has a guide posted... This forum is overflowing with guides right now, most of them based on nothing but…
-
@regnorvex Well i think there will always be guys that just want to argue for the sake of doing it... I won't say all too much, because a definately negative trait i got is that I am not used to being patient with stuff like this. So you are stating crit is more reliable now than a permanent healing increase? Oo woot? So…
-
@laccotte Wisdom also increases damage dealt, so unless you use a greater vorpal enchantment, wisdom also grants you more damage than crit does... Also having cleared the content by legitimately clearing all bosses there currently exist in the game, i cannot imagine you dealing close to the damage of a CW that is worth…
-
@willytest In fact like i explained an enormous number of times by now wisdom is always stronger than strength in terms of healing output, deminishing returns does not change anything with that, even if crit had deminishing returns to the point that you need 5000 rating per % of crit, it is still more useful to go for…
-
@beldukil I can do that as soon as i get home to login to the game - won't be home before saturday afternoon though (CET timezone) so this has to wait a little, sorry. As for you other guys thanks for the ongoing support, i will of course try to make this guide better as time progresses, as for now it pretty much only…
-
@highropes Thanks for your support... as for the STR vs WIS thematic, i elaborated on this in a post yesterday i believe so for anyone curious on how they differ in "worth" i will just politely send you back some pages to read the details on this. What i will state again though - from a mathematical PoV wisdom does grant a…
-
@uvirith1 Ok don't go running into my post then claiming something is wrong when you think it is... because this one is not. Also 2) may be opinion based, i already stated that i don't see it being beneficial that much. Well i don't write things in my guide that pure logic can add to a person's knowledge so 3) is not my…
-
@realr3sistance How you spec is up to you in the end... Also i give up on explaining that the statvalue won't change no matter how much points you invest into one because your approach on calculating it is wrong and you won't see that mistake of yours. Relative increases have nothing to do with real values. Thus i only…
-
@uvirith1 1) Why do you guys keep running in my post, stating something is wrong when it isn't. Come back once you did the maths on it. 2) You can consider doing this ofc, but in most cases u won't get a high uptime of Astral Seal on more than 2 targets that are finally hit by cleave-abilities, so i prefer to just use it…
-
@deistik I see that your guide provides a higher chance on healing being bursty, not more bursthealing in a given timespan in general - that being the point you aimed for i can agree with it obviously. The problem then again lies with it being a chance that is always below 100% and thus being completely uncontrollable. So…
-
@deistik Ok I might have expressed myself a too harshly there so sorry on that one - still i don't see the theoretically proven viability of the build you displayed. In fact i am reconsidering that 4th pip myself, but for now i do like it in some fights because you can build 1/3 more of Divine Power to burst it out when…
-
@deistik Actually i had a look on your guide and was very unhappy with the way you chose to build a cleric because it seemed heavily intuition based and not based on too much mathematical input - which i can't agree with the way i chose to approach things in this game as well as WoW before. IMO for example that critbuild…
-
@unspecifiederror Personally i am not a fan of tiefling; while it is not bad it is missing out on a little of the power Humans and Halfelfs got. Won't elaborate on this much more since i did overall mathematics on this; for overall offense-only stats it is the strongest by a very small magin, once again the reason for this…
-
@beldukil That assumption you are making would only be correct if for the whole fightduration you would never ever get back to 100% HP - a very unlikely scenario. MaxHP is a viable defensive stat, just not as strong as defense as long as it doesn't deminish hard enough.
-
@beldukil yeah - i wrote that... still it's only a chance. @tabisia Your theory is basically correct, as gear will gain more and more stats you will eventually go for some maxHP from a defensive point of view. For now though i dont consider it useful on any other slot than the belt. The DR on damage reduction that you…
-
@beldukil Of course there are plenty of chances to actually dispell something (as soon as the spell works correctly though as pointed out a few posts earlier because of that current bug), the problem lies within it being a chance... Think about it - you get a Debuff on a partymember; for a "safe" dispell (meaning 99%+…
-
@realr3sistance What i think you are talking about is not the "deminishing returns" that is used generally used as an MMO-specific term. Of course you got a single calculation for all points on wisdom at the same time so going with 26 wisdom does not grant you 1.33% more healing than going with 25 wisdom but 1.33% more of…
-
Ok that does make sense... Since i didn't do a lot of PvP i missed out on this bug, yet i still think Cleanse isn't really useful PvE-wise. For PvP i have to say i hate people using bugs to an unfair advantage may it be a setbonus, ability, whatever... Like when everyone knew those Gamecrashes that appeared with the use of…
-
@zingarbage Sorry but i don't know about this bug and i also don't understand what you are trying to state. Care explaining this a little more lenghty?
-
@realr3sistance Ok for one thing I'd gladly know how you get the idea that Ability Scores are affected by any kind of DR - those are static values, unaffected by whatever stats you aim for. A single point of Wisdom constantly grants you 1% damage and 1.33% healing... One point of Strength nets out in 1% more Crit and…
-
@beldukil That's quite a lot of things at once there ;) 1. Cleanse is utterly useless right now in PvE and only marginal useful in PvP (if you get some luck) because in PvE those "negative effects" don't even exist for most Fights so far - so there's nothing to remove as well. Now let's assume the case it does exist…
-
@realr3sistance What you are stating is correct, the bonus by Charisma and Intelligence on the CD-Reduce is independant from Recovery. That being said Wisdom is still the strongest Basestat by far... @two30 I will clarify this in my post thanks for your support!
-
@nvmbanelings Sorry i was just about writing an answer myself and didn't refresh to see yours in between. In fact powerscaling works a little different, since every spell is connected to scale off weapondamage and power itself increases weapon-average-damage. To your explanation about crit though - the one-time initial…
-
@wixxgs1cht Power DOES increase the healing power - but nevertheless power is not that strong of a stat ain the beginning... It gets stronger with the more Gearscore you get because your overall stats will rise, yet everything but power has deminishing returns kicking in. Power (for now) does not deminish at all, which is…
-
@maukadweller Cleanse is actually incredibly useless in the current state of the game... just don't use a point on that. Also i don't know what patch you are talking about Astral Shield hasn't been changed at all. @wixxgs1cht Crit is like you said for one part a damage increase (not what you aim for generally but not bad…
-
@laccotte True that - IF it would do what the Feat says... Currently it does not and is yet another bug that needs fixing (which could be both... maybe the tooltip is uselessly written OR it doesn't do what it is supposed to do). For now it effectively does reduce incoming damage by 11% though.
-
@zingarbage Hum, yeah i got mixed up on that one should have read this one or two times before posting wrong stuff... Thanks on the close read though ./updated on Forgemaster's Flame. While ARP has good scaling overall since a cleric can't even stack enough of it to get hit hard by the DR (at least while wearing "useful"…
