Hi all,
People tend to ask me alot which gems are best for survivability but really there are usually too many variables to give a simple answer. It can depend alot on your equipment, class, buffs, and your attacker.

This tool takes everything into account

PWI Socket Calculator

It should be pretty self explanatory how to use it... if you want to factor in self-buffs or level 11 buffs you have to enter those in manually. Evasion is ignored.

This time it should work in all browsers. Leave any feedback here. I am considering adding charts but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

    Heh, I like the calculator, but I'm curious of the mechanics of how you set up; JoSD don't really give effective visible m/p def, so I'm assuming it's to represent % survivability?

    Survivability factors in both the ability to reduce damage and the amount of damage you can absorb. JoSD performed a bit better than I expected but it does kinda poorly against R9 users.

    Why'd you add DoT's to the calculator if they do nothing for survivability?

    Completeness? There are alot of people with DoTs and I thought it would be nice to compare Vit stone to DoT without the person having to look at the value for "Empty" instead.

    Should I add Icebournes, Gaeas, Drakeflames? I don't really see those in armor...

    And I bet that there will be at least one or two people who look at that, punch in the numbers and notice that DoTs are equal to "Empty" and take that knowledge without thinking more of it. And that's really not something you want to do.

    Well, DoTs are only really a factor to survivability when you talk either about killing bosses faster or healing more from Bloodpaint. But something tells me that factoring in Bloodpaint to this little calculation wouldn't be plausible, since it'd require information such as DPH, APS and the enemy they are facing in great detail.

    So I think you should either remove it or make a note of the DoTs on the page. For completeness.

    Ehh yah I guess its not fair to compare DoTs to normal shards. Done.

    You can actually use this tool as a survivability calculator to compare completely different gear / characters if you put 0 shards (though thats not really the objective).

    So this implies that the equation/s for def level are definite? I was under the assumption that it's/they're still not confirmed.

    Also, does it take into account the extra def gain from the VIT's from VIT stones? 1 VIT might not add much def, but 240 probably does.

    Defense level has been confirmed.

    I recently found the formula for pdef/mres from ecatomb's code.

    pdef = str/4 + vit/4 + equip.pdef*((str+0.7*vit)/(750+level) + 1)
    mres = (mag-1)/4 + (vit-1)/4 + equip.mres*((mag+0.7*vit)/(750+level) + 1)

    I'm not sure where he got it from but I confirmed this was accurate for my own gear. The calculator uses your unbuffed stats to calculate the equipment defense in an intermediate step.

    I have number 3000. This is bad or good ?

    What it calculate ?

    Why not use http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/ to see characteristcs of the char and damage reduction with any possible buff ?

    Hmm the formula is off by less than 50 points for me. Not exact but close enough I guess.

    You have 3000 def level? Props to you then hacker.

    Because PW calc doesn't take into account of def level. Last time I check, it still calculate APS from demon spark wrong. Also the % reduction on the character sheet shows data for opponent of same level assuming 0 attack level.

    This tool is specifically to answer the question "What shard should I put in my armor?".

    At high levels people have a hard time comparing the effects of Vit Stones, Citrine Gem and Def+2. Noone really knows which has the most benefit.

    This tool isn't really designed for lower level use at the moment... really though sharding doesn't get significant until g11 or g12 gears though.

    Hmm Ill recheck it.. when I did my own gear it was off by like 5 which I wrote off as due to small intermediate rounding errors.

    Are you sure you are getting your equipment defense exact? You can find it by seeing how much defense is removed by frenzy. I'm not sure if adding equipment pdef values manually is 100% correct.

    Really, 1920 points phys. def. buffed(with Stone Barrier 9th level) yet (I equip some items from 40 level, although have better for 60 level) with current hp 2045.

    But I typed random number from bottom table (3000) for my level 54 Wizard to understand, what it mean.

    May be those numbers necessary for high-levels only.

    It's less than half of a %. Good enough for most engineering, good enough for game mechanics.

    Def level =/= your resistance value.

    You quoted me asking if def level formula was confirmed or not and said you have 3000. I can only assume you misunderstood def level as resistance value.

    You were wrong. I even had not thought, that you can "assume" it. I wrote real numbers for my character.
    Once my (not this) character had 15% def. level - maximum.

    Edit:
    I don't want to spam in this thread.
    If you think, that you are right - it is good.

    Then you writing about your resistance value, asking if it's good, while quoting my comment about def level made no sense. b:bye

    I just realized this caculation will be a bit inaccurate with TT-nirv gear due to the built-in buff b:surrender

    It's not really enough to significantly change the correct answers though...

    Nice work.

    One thing you could add too is the Reduce Physical damage taken +% stat that some equips have.

    Also what actually does the survivability number mean?
    Is it the raw damage that the opponent have to deal to take out all your hp?

    Edit: Also would be nice to be able to use different grades of hp/pdef/mdef stones too and maybe to use a mix of different stones

    yes because vit stones not ony adds hp, it also adds p.def and m.def

    Well if you are considering sharding you need gear with some free sockets in them...
    This tool tells you what is best to put in those sockets.

    VIT stones can be underestimated by casters since they give "only" 100HP (versus 115 for citrine) but they also give a little more than 0.4% equipment defense which helps out.
