Calling all math nerds- DoT and def calcs pls

DoTs are always really bad in weapons. Never do it. You might as well be putting citrine in your weapon since DoTs only really belong in armor.

Garnet / Sapphire always add alot more damage even with +12 refines.

I'm pretty sure I stole this from WarrenWolfy, but if I'm mistaken feel free to take credit...

In conclusion, the correct formulas to calculate the effect of attack and defense level are:

if (atk lv > def lv) then:

damage taken = { damage delivered * ( 1 + ({ atk lv } - { def lv }) / 100 ) }


if (atk lv < def lv) then:

damage taken = { damage delivered / ( 1 + (1,2 * ({ def lv } - { atk lv }) / 100 ) ) }


Where {} means enter part or truncate the number; for example { 367,9 } = 367

I just don't get why people pay mils on these stones or w/e, blessings give you +5-+30 def. and some others attack level, and its not so big of a difference.

I'm trying to understand, the why.

Psy has a voodoo that gives +12 attack level, why paying so much money to get a weapon with +2 attack level? O_o lmao.

If anyone could explain this to me I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Ahh, TheDan. I checked there and the hundreds of results that came back were all from people who used that lame joke long before you did. If you don't know the answer or understand the math, just say so next time

And I'd searched already and discovered mutliple dead posts with incorrect numbers so was wondering if anyone had figured it out. Thanks Tojop.

I'm not Dan, but he is a friend.

If you would have clicked that link, selected the 4th link on the Perfect World related threads, it would have taken you to this:

Certainly NOT hundreds of results, actually you would have to have been bothered to glance over 3 other links before this.

ehhh, signature

I'll break it down for you

Diamond of tiger gives +1 attack level, attack level means it will do 1% more damage for every attack level you have above your opponent's defence level, considering the fact that your weapon can house 2 gems tops (if lucky) you would get 2% adittional damage, which means 2 adittional damage for every 100 damage you put in, therefore to get the top benefit off this you would need to cause large amounts of damage like 3k+ per hit, and even like that you would be getting 2% off 3,000 which is meagre 60 adittional damage, even if you managed to land 10k it's barely 200 adittional damage

Garnets/sapphires give adittional attack to the weapon, which is taken in account as thought it was the weapon's original damage (a weapon that has 300-400 phyisical attack and a perfect garnet that gives +40 physical attack will be taken as it were 340-440). Therefore, that adittional attack is also affected by your str or mag factor (depending on your class) which makes it a much more realiable source of power

It doesn't take a genius to figure out diamonds of tiger are **** in a weapon, buy a couple good gems with the money of one and have enough cash to spare for a few crab meat jiaozis
