Ignore Def % Limit?

This thread's amazing.

Are you that lazy to get proof?

yes im that lazy it took me 3hour

and i dont want to do another 3hour to get that same information again just for one bug

that doesnt seem to be a big deal with other ppl

i would love to show my prove since ppl are as lazy as me to even test on their own char i will be as lazy too

even if i get my prove having one prove isnt enough it would req like 5ppl to be offical bug

We can't all be astronauts, Danny.

More people would be inclined to prove it too if you presented proof to support your premise. Scientists don't come up with a hypothesis and say "pineapple IT SOMEONE ELSE PROVE IT", they try to prove it themselves and publish their findings which incentivizes others into attempting to prove or disprove the original published article.

OK, fine.

Here's my range and all my sources of Ignore Def:



It adds up to 98%: 40% from Combat Mastery (passive, not skill-dependent), 10% Ambition, 30% Leafre Set, 18% Nebulite.

I am not using any character cards that give damage, as those are known to display misleadingly in damage range.

I went to Azwan Hell Mode and used normal attack on the monsters, without any buffs. Normal attack should hit exactly the displayed damage range (excepting character card buffs).
Assuming the mobs there have 70% PDRate, my actual damage done should be:
If Ambition does work and I truly have 98% ignore def: 39178.9 ~ 55969
If Ambition doesn't work and I only have 88% ignore def: 36397 ~ 51995.6

From this it follows that if I score even one hit above 52k, Ambition does work.
And if I score even one hit below 39k, something does not work (not necessarily Ambition, could be Nebulite, or something else - but it needs looking further into).



Case closed.

Adding my two cents.

 BaM Stats

Additional Info
- Using Quintuple Blow
- Only 20% Ignore DEF from Quintuple Blow.
- Level 0 Ambition
- Assumes Battle Mastery's bonus damage is already calculated into range (Don't remember if it is or not)
- No Buffs or Character Cards

Math (Never sure if I do Ignore DEF calculations right, so someone check me, please)
4574 * 1.4 = 6404 (6403.6)
6099 * 1.4 = 8539 (8538.6)
Min Damage with 20% DEF Ignore (Going below this proves 20% DEF Ignore DOES NOT work)
6404 * (1 - .7 * (1 - .2)) = 6404 * (1 - .7 * (.8)) = 6404 * (1 - .56) = 6404 * .44 = 2818 (2817.76)
Max Damage without 20% DEF Ignore (Going above this proves 20% DEF Ignore DOES work)
8539 * (1 - .7) = 8539 * .3 = 2562 (2561.7)

 Observed Damage

Observed 2114 Damage hit, which is less than 2818, the inherent Ignore DEF in the skill doesn't appear to work.

There, like 10 minutes of work. I would love to see what you achieved in 3 hours.

Least Ambition still works!

so bam's don't ignore def with quintuple blow but ambition works, good deal.

when i have time i'll check impale i guess.

Hm

I suppose I'll test out Marksmanship and Snipe later.

OK, fine.

Case closed.

well i will double check my ambition maybe my skill ignore def doenst work mess up with my ambition ignore def too

atm thank for helping out i will try to bring my prove later

i knew battlemage skill ignore isnt working and thank for helping out i will bring my problem soon

 Spoiler

not using char card or any buff

ok there the proof i got ...... i have 65% weapon ignore + 15% nebulite + 15% code using mu lung set +10% ambition + 0 % skill it doesnt matter cuz we already know my skill ignore doenst work

im using Finsing blow with 180% dmg with 30% ignore since ignore isnt working let say it 0%

that is a total of 105% and that shoudl be able to ignore everything

30356-40475 is my range

if i got 100% ignore then my dmg shouldnt decrease at all

Battlemastery is already added to and show the range

30356 is my min dmg x 180% from my skill finishing blow= 54,640 (54,640.8)

if i hit anything below than 54k dmg it mean my ambition is not working and i dont have 100% ignore with even 105% ignore i did the math i only have 95% if my ambition isnt working

and here the ss that i hit under 54.6k

 Spoiler

and this prove my skill ignore and my ambition ignore isnt working at all.... but when i change my codex to leafre set (30%) i never hit under 54.6k and that is a total of 120% ignore i got at that time

is this good enough prove for you guy?

Try using regular attacks instead of Finishing Blow and see if you get the same results. Also try getting someone else to corroborate your damages, because we know sometimes displayed damage is not actual damage (e.g. 999,999 mage glitch). I think this second part should apply to both [MENTION=4093]SaptaZapta[/MENTION]; and [MENTION=10062]Question[/MENTION];, at their convenience of course. This is interesting. I might mess around on my Shadower later tonight if I have a block of time to spare.

Please forgive my ignorance about BaMs, but is finishing blow a skill you can spam, or do you have to use some charge-up skill in between?

I suppose it's possible that Ambition's "Ignore Def" only ignores weapon def, but not magic def.

Unfortunately I can't use my bishop to test this theory because Arcane Aim changes his damage all the time. He also only has level 18 Ambition. If anyone has a mage with high Ambition and no Arcane Aim (or knows how to account for it), I'd be happy to see their results.

49) Character Card bugs:
- My S Rank Cannon Master card doesn't work. Whenever I die I lose 9% Exp, when I should be losing 5%.
- When in Party play areas (LHC, SDH), and in mostly in party quests to, my S rank Evan card heals my MP even when I didn't even touch the monster.

Do you know that Ambition also has effect that reduce exp by 5% when you died at max level -what level is ur ambition on ur CS?
if it has any ambition maybe we can test the exp dead rate loss on ambition too to see if that work or not

finishing blow is a spam i think cuz it like chain lightning attack or like evan illusion so i think it is a spam

Is this result shown anywhere else besides Hell Mode Aswan?

Is this result shown anywhere else besides Hell Mode Aswan?

alll the mob in hell mode azwan is 70% pdr everything even tower and altar and super mob

it the best way to test your dmg ... testing on low pdr % is harder and take much longer to find the answer

The Finisher
Description: Inflicts damage on enemies in front of you by firing a ray of light in the shape of a saw wheel. Can only be used after a Blow type skill. Deals more damage when used alongside a high level Blow type skill.

Blow is Quad Blow et al.

Never mind, it is indeed just the 4th job blow skill. Hits six times, so it was called Finishing instead of Hextuple.

The Finisher and Finishing blow is not the same they are 2 diff skill

OK, fine.

Case closed.

hmm i still believe that if u get 10% more ignore u would hit even more dmg

 Spoiler

98% ignore without ambition on illusion, 100%+ otherwise

 Spoiler

Evans crit x1.5

 Spoiler

55746 min range

55746 x 106% total damage x 380% illusion x 150% amp x 150% crit = 505226 minimum on crits

 Spoiler

Min crit illusion = 500393
500393 < 505226
Ambition ignore % is not being applied.

Also my Blaze hits the same on all mobs. It's 113% ignore without ambition applied.


Also I don't have any range modifiers from char cards since they modify range without actually changing damage dealt.

So it's a mage bug I'm assuming.

The Finisher and Finishing blow is not the same they are 2 diff skill

You are a brick wall.
It doesn't hit more damage. Get over it.

first of all even if her amibition is working it only 98% and it does hit more dmg u nub

2nd of all i still think that her range say if ambition is working then she should hit some 55k i havnt seem that
what about the min dmg?

maybe ambition is only half work? like it only 5% not 10% who knew?

[COLOR="#FF0000"]so Far we prove that battlemage blow ignore def on 3 and 4th job is broken
we also prove that it seem to be mage ambition is also broken but there could be more[/COLOR]
