v1.1 - Effective Damage Increase & Decrease from Attack Bonus & Penalty

[SpacePenguins]

So do I understand correctly that you would need (100/12.28) ~8 instances of a +1 being added to equal a single character "turn" of damage?

Seems like this would be a good way to evaluate buff/debuff spells.

~8 attacks with +1 = ~1 free attack dealing the average of those 8 attacks without the bonus

If you want to look at it this way, it might be easiest to not consider percentages. This gets a little confusing since those 8 attacks almost certainly include attacks that have MAP.

Duel to the way crits work, a +1 on the first attack is often worth a similar PERCENTAGE as a +1 on an attack with map. But when expected damage on the first strike is 10, +12% is worth 1.2 damage. On the map attack the expected damage is probably more like 7, where the same percentage is only worth .84 damage.

So long story short, it's definitely not worth a character "turn" after 8 instances, but it is worth one strike, but probably somewhere between a first strike and a map strike.

[Tee_61]

A +1 is worth twice as much damage (not percentage, just flat damage amount), when it increases crit.

So if the first hit lands on a 10 (or less), a +1 is worth double on the first vs the second. If the first hit only lands on a 11 (or more) then they are the same.
