[1.2.322] Moar Skill Balancing

I wrote this earlier regarding the dmg changes for mages, we can see that pure ints will be dead after this since MA is what counts now.

take note this is old e.amp 1.3x and old cl dmg 700%

my mage current has (with mw20)
magic 1579 (1559+20)
int 1299 (994 + 305)
luk 100 (28+72)

~~
in the new system, my range will therefore be.
magic attack = 1579-1299 = +280 ma
int = 1299
luk = 100
mastery = 50%

so maximum RANGE
=0.88*(4 * 1299 + 100) * (280 / 100)
=0.88*(5196 + 100) * 2.8
= 13049.344 (using tsw)



~~~



I will now reverse out the tsw and put in a +7 60% scrolled avg white tiger staff (luk3 ma 178 req luk 165) total (192 ma luk3 int7) and ap reset accordingly
int = 1191 +7 -67
luk = 98 +3 + 67
magic =1289 + 192
add in mw20 + medi, we get
int 1131 x 1.1 = 1244
luk 168 x 1.1 = 184
magic 1481 +113 + 20 = 1614 (oh my.. I should upgrade to lvl 163 staff anyway..higher magic than my tsw/berg)
~~
in the new system, my range will therefore be.
magic attack = 1614-1244 = +370 ma
int = 1244
luk = 168
mastery = 50%
so maximum RANGE
=0.88*(4 * 1244 + 168) * (370 / 100)
=0.88*(4976 + 168) * 3.7
= 16748.68 (using white dragon staff)



CL dmg (700%) using TSW = 111327~148436
CL dmg using white dragon = 142888~190518

i think the real implication is this.
base = = 16527.456
(gain 10 int)
=0.88*(4 * 1254 + 168) * (370 / 100)
= 16879.104
vs
(gain 10 ma)
=0.88*(4 * 1244 + 168) * (380 / 100)
=17201.536

10 int gain = 351.648 max dmg gain : 1 int = 35.1648 dmg
10 ma gain = 674.08 max dmg gain : 1 ma = 67.408 dmg
so 1 ma is roughly the equivalent of 1.9169 int (this value will change, but at around lvl 19x/200 that will be roughly the value)
but must ap reset 67 points unless they give free ap reset.

~~
in otherwords, pure int builds are screwed.
lvl 163 staff will become the top weapon of choice. + the issue of luk accuracy makes pure int dead

gaining 100 ma from an apple will improve my dmg by 247156-190518 = 56638 gain in dmg.

incidentally, my mage will probably have 370 to 400 ma once i reset my luk and scroll my lvl 163 staffs. i certainly forgot to count my bless of fairy buffs (which is now reduced to 20 ma), and yet to count in my +2 all stat + 5wa + 10ma evan glasses (if I want to psok over from viper to mage.. like heck i would)
