PWCalc still around?

I just saw that Ecatomb closed down, sorry to here that. Thank you bluestuffzzz for the mirror!

Now I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about PWCalc. I tried to get there last night, but Google told me it wasn't available, I tried again just a few minutes ago, still got the same message. I'm not sure if it's just me, or if maybe it's only down for a bit. I guess after finding out about Ecatomb, I'm worried PWCalc has gone down too.

Does anyone know anything, or have had the same issue trying to get to it as me?

    You are very welcome! I was just on PWCalc yesterday morning. It routinely goes down every month or two for a few days (randomly), and comes back up (sometimes due to maintenance). I'm sure it will be up shortly. PWCalc is a pretty useful tool, and I'm sure a lot of people would be upset if it was shut down. I don't think there is anything to worry about, however.

    Ahh, thank you very much for telling me!

    I hope the people maintaining the site will update it to today's content, with title stat bonus, nuema, avatar, meridian, NW buff, and primal passives. It's outdated and difficult to match the stats ingame and pwcalc. They should correct the formula used so it can be mathematically correct as we see in the game.

    PW isn't very consistent about skill description, for example :
    - spirit gift which is 70% matk buff but turns out it's only 69%.
    - def mdef passives, the first level gives 7% buff, but after that it's correct 8%
    - damage passive, the first level only gives 1% dmg amp, but the next next level seems correct (tested until level 2, but seems only lv1 isn't correct)
    - Maximum physical attack, if I calculated correctly, max physical attack and physical atk blue stats in gear are the same, both applied to min-max while maximum magical attack is already corrected for max only (tested only on 2 chars, should check more).

    The chance of this happening anytime soon is pretty slim. We would all love it, but the owner of PWCalc (Slyfox? Skyflox?... I can't remember his/her name for the life of me), has been MIA for a while I think. They do post on here from time to time. Also, that would require a lot of work, one would assume. I Have doubts that they will have the time and/or passion to do all of that. What often happens is people get burned out, and much like Ecatomb recently, they loose the passion to continue working on things for this game. While unfortunate, this is the reality of life.
