Stereo Wrote:Blast's 12% chance to ignore DEF is buggering with my ability to test damage stuff...
Max crit, holy target, dual charged - 43600
Max crit, holy target, just holy - 41500
In both cases I have base range up to 6508 - 20 Lightning - 13 Blast - 12 Divine Charge - I'm attacking Klocks and Dark Klocks.
If they do have 10% def, I should see up to 41800 with holy alone - which fits. But then what is Blast's 12% ignore def doing?
Guardian also mentions % reduction in attack... which I haven't been able to test yet (everything does 1 touch damage to me) :\
Following up on this,
Max PS Lightning + Holy -> 45600
Max PS Holy -> 42700
Using 20PS+10EB = 380%
@ min 184.6% / 172.9%
Adjust for 10% def discount = 205% / 192%
Expected max for dual charging:
128%*150% + 25%*50% = 204.5%
Expected max for single charging:
128%*150% = 192%
Edit: theoretical maxes -> 45516, 42734
I'd say that confirms both those numbers fairly well. So Dual Charging mechanism is likely unchanged.
I will endeavour to capture a picture of that 45600 dual charging, since I was just remembering high hits in my head. If I can hit over 45516 then there's some sort of change.
ed: didn't see any.
Throwing in Threaten,
PS with Lit+Holy+Threaten -> 46342
If Threaten's 30% is 30% off PDR, max should be 47033 so this isn't too bad. Considering it's a lot harder to actually test (Threaten with miss chance is a pain in the butt)
