Dmg Calculation - Need Clarification

user · Post by **user** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 8:57 pm

say you are:
1. an INT char
2. using sword
3. you maxed a physical sword/blade skill
EDIT: 4. w/ imbue

how would your dmg compared to a pure str blader?

would the INT char do less dmg b/c the skill itself is a physical attack (due to pure int's low physical balance)

If you have your imbue you will still do much more.
If you are just doing the weapon skill with no imbue, you will do much less.

so is there a point of using creating a hybrid int KD nuker? when you can go w/ pure int KD nuker, except you get more hp if ur going hybrid

you can go pure str if u want2survive/areslow/can'tfightontheedge,
or you just learn how to pick up fights and go pure int

no need to make half bread

I've always viewed hybrids as a balance between Power and defense. Really if you want more HP just use stones, saying people choose hybrid purely for the HP or MP is kinda naive.

I believe hybrids are more consistent in damage in that they don't rely soley on a crit or a nuke, and ability to just survive both sides of the spectrum better then a pure stat build.

Hybrids have more flexibility then a Pure.

How might damage be calculated?

mag_dmg_base = int*int_reinforce/100 + mag_dmg
phy_dmg_base = (str*str_reinforce/100 + phy_dmg)*(100+wep_mastery_lvl)/100

How might your damage outputs be calculated?

phy_damage = (skill_dmg + base_phy_dmg) * skill_dmg_percent
mag_damage = (imbue_dmg * mastery_bonus_imbue +base_mag_dmg) * skill_dmg_percent

total_damage_output = phy_damage * phy_balance + mag_damage * mag_balance

sword int does more.

so again, hybrids only have the extra hp as the only advantage

Full Int = low hp & high mag Attack
Hybrid = more hp, less mag attack but better crits

thats IF you get a crit, so pure INT would have higher avg dmg output

s/s hybrid isnt the best build.. a hybrid spear.. 1:1 is definitely nasty tho, at high levels especially.. I hate fighting hybrids who have high crit weps, put it that way.. i rely on stun or kb cuz they really hurt a lot.. s/s int hybrids can take a few more hits, but they really dont do any damage to me.. pure int s/s is extremely damaging though.. they seriously do crazy damage during kd + stab..
