[Draft] Guide for the Page, White Knight and Paladin

I've introduced a new BBCode tag that will center the columns/rows of a table without needing the [noparse][noparse][/noparse] tags.

The tag is called [noparse][centers][/noparse]

1	[centers]OMG[/centers]	[centers]HAI[/centers]
2	[centers]TO[/centers]	[centers]YOUS[/centers]

Also, I highly recommend you use the autonum feature as I have used above. It will help to clear out your tables and make future maintenance of these tables easier.

I'm not sure why I didn't use the autonum feature. I think it might have been related to it screwing up the headers. As for the new [CENTERS] tag, this should prove to be useful! Thank you.

EDIT: In the "Notes" for Heaven's Hammer, you link to a screen shot of you killing Pianus. I'm confused on how it illustrated your point.

ARGH. This guide is amazing. XD Good job!

It's to show that it works on bosses =X Some people don't think that it works on bosses, and it's plain impossible to simply PG Pianus to death, or hack it down to within 600 HP with great precision, then PG it, since Pianus and other bosses have a natural HP regeneration rate (I think 10,000 for Pianus, not sure). I'm thinking about uploading a few more SSes showing tests on other monsters, such as Bombing Fish House (gobays, oyas) and King Sage Cat.

It has recently come to my attention that the DPS conversion tables labeled as "Table summary of comparisons" (use ctrl+f to find it if you don't know what it is) may not be accurate. Specifically, AnubisMerc has pointed out a mismatch when he was rapidly leveling and testing his own pwnage damage at Skeles using 1h and 2h BWs. My suspicions are that the character's STR stat needs to be figured in as well as the watk and stats; a big blunder on my part. I will be taking the time this week to find out in full length whether or not there will be changes or not, and I will try my best to make the new formula user-friendly if a change is warranted.

EDIT: As mentioned before, DPS conversion between weapons of the same type are correct. I've now come to realize that 120 DEX is quite unrealistically high for most of us. Not that I am anti-DEX-less or anything, but it was simply overlooked.

EDIT 2: I think I might have to just list values for 4 DEX, 60 DEX, and 120 DEX since in spite of all my number crunching and whatnot, the formulas converting between 1h and 2h weapons are looking very unclean. Actually, I'm getting results that suggest wAtk affects this number as well (as in, the watk variable doesn't cancel). Then again, wAtk is only a proportional constant for the whole equation, so let's forget about it =P

So here's the final formula I'm getting...

Code:

[U]DPS factor 1[/U] * ([U]STR*(c1 - c2)[/U] + 1) - 1 = x
DPS factor 2   (STR*c2 + DEX     )

...where DPS factors are Blast/min numbers from [5B43S], and c1 and c2 are constants, such as 2.3*(.9*Mastery + 1) for 2h swords. See [1W60M] for the full list of constants in the Avg Damage formulas.

EDIT 3: Leviathan dropped me a Stance20 book! Actually this was a few weeks ago, but nevertheless something worthy of noting.
