How much DEX is one Attack? - MiSSHaku - 2009-08-15

For my Wind Archer I'm currently using a +10 DEX Icarus Cape (2).

Although, I have +2 Attack, +8 LUK Pink Adventurer Cape.

Knowing the LUK won't do anything, would the PAC still be better to use?

What's your current DEX, STR, and wAtk? All of these matter. I'll edit the post when you provide these.

Code:
[B]Maximum Damage for Bow[/B] = (DEX*3.4 + STR)*(wAtk/100)

Assume wAtk = 100, DEX = 400, and STR = 50.  Mostly arbitrary.

(400*3.4 + 50)*(100/100)

Assign variables [I]x[/I] and [I]y[/I] to represent changes in DEX and wAtk respectively.

((DEX + [I]x[/I])*3.4 + STR)*(wAtk/100) =  ((DEX)*3.4 + STR)*((wAtk + [I]y[/I])/100)

This is to create a sort of slide ruler to determine the amount of change
on one stat that will equal the other.
Assume [I]y[/I] = 2, to represent the PAC's wAtk.

((400 + [I]x[/I])*3.4 + 50)*(100/100) = (400*3.4 + 50)*((100 + 2)/100)
            (400 + [I]x[/I])*3.4 + 50 = 1410*(102/100)
             1360 + 3.4*[I]x[/I] + 50 = 1438.2
                         3.4*[I]x[/I] = 28.2
                             [I]x[/I] = [B][color=Red]8.2941176470588235294117647058824 DEX[/color][/B]

In the above example, it only takes 9 DEX to beat 2 wAtk.

-solves for the variable-
(DEX + x)*3.4 + STR = (DEX*3.4 + STR)*(ATK + 2)/ATK
(DEX + x) = ((DEX * 3.4 + STR)*(ATK + 2)/ATK - STR) / 3.4
x = (DEX + STR / 3.4)*(1 + 2/ATK) - STR / 3.4 - DEX
= (DEX + STR / 3.4)/ATK * 2

Or the above. lol

Oh. And technically speaking that's only maximum damage, though it won't make a huge difference.

wAtk stat plz x) We're still missing that! Well, we could probably reverse calculate it or something... EDIT: 107 wAtk mirite?

I think the calculations I did earlier would be close enough for the real verdict. Stick with the DEX Icarus Cape.

(dang I wasn't too far off with arbitrary value assignment, haha)
