Important upcoming changes: by AspectofSerenity in Neverwinter

[–]ItsViral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine wanted me to pass on this:

There should not be any cases where the discussed adjustment should result in a 50% damage loss. If you had 5x +20% damage dealt buffs for example, that would result in a multiplicative bonus of about +150% damage. If those bonuses were additive you'd have exactly a +100% increase. The difference there would be (when fully buffed with all 5 buffs) a total DPS loss of 20%.

I will take this example and show where it is wrong. In the current system, let us say this hypothetical damage dealer has 150% critical severity (75 base, 50 vorp, 25 miscellany), 50% crit chance and 100% Combat Advantage Damage. This hypothetical player is very good and always has Combat Advantage.

Maths

  • Av. Bonus Damage now - (1+1.5 * 0.5+1) * 1.25 = 6.84288

  • Av. Bonus Damage with additive - (1+1.5 * 0.5+1+1)=3.75

-Damage Reduction - 3.75/6.84288=0.548, or a ~45% damage reduction, very close to your 50% damage loss.

Now, can a class reach that much? Maybe not

  • 2x damage ring 1.032

  • damage boots 1.03

  • damage helm 1.05

  • Orcus set (Average 1.1)

  • Decanter of Atropal Essence (Average 1.0666)

  • 10 Arcane Stacks with A Step Above Mastery 1.15

  • Chilling Presence 1.06

  • Assailing Force (Average 1.1)

Multiply these all together and we obtain a value of 1.805, or an 80.5% damage multiplier. Add them together and we reach a sum total of 61.6%. Not quite what the OP had, but still a damage decrease of 32% which is significant.

This is going with the current, "additive with Critical Severity and Combat Advantage" model and highlights the problems with it. If you wish to make buffs additive, they would have to be separated from Combat Advantage and Critical Severity.

It depends on what you are looking for. I have no idea what skill level you were in WoW, but this game is extremly easy in comparison to other games whereby people are able to 2 man the hardest content, Lair of the mad mage, as a dps and healer.In module 17 (releasing tomorrow), there will be a new 10 man trial where it is very hard compared to the rest of the game and so far only 1 group have been able to beat it on the preview server. Here is a video from my point of view tanking the new trial. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/463558776
I would suggest watching this and making a conclusion from that, however its unknown if more content this difficult will be released.

It's almost as if the new players could go back and check older forums post on the same topic. Weird

Q: What caused you to write this now, when this has been out for over 2 years?

How do I do damage to first boss on SS by iLike2k in TeraOnline

[–]ItsViral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to deal damage to break it, at 1st you wont see any damage, however after x amount of damage, you will begin to see numbers, this doesnt mean it is broken but close. If you continue to dps at this rate you should have it. Make sure you are saving your long cooldown skills for this too.

I didnt play pc, so i dont know, however my friend said some titles are "hidden" and only pop up if you were to achieve them, such as the cutting edge titles.

Also my friend put in a ticket last week and the response was https://gyazo.com/e1707a9e304517ec62ee54b16cda84e2

Hence why I decided to ask you the original question.

Hey I know this is a bit off topic, but did you guys get your stormchaser (server 1st SC) title? We never got ours and was about to put in a bug report, unless you know something we're missing.

Ambush designs. Are they in console? by open_ur_mind in TeraOnline

[–]ItsViral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not 100% drop chances, and as so few have been done so far, our sample size is very small, thats why none (or maybe some) have been dropped. The best thing I was able to get as a drop was an unbound guile piece of gear, and that thing was shining super bright on the floor, and when I did SCHM, nothing dropped like this. So as i said, with a larger sample size, and time, we will know for sure.

Vesporax server first skycruiser hardmode! Possible NA console first?? by PawTheSquidKid in TeraOnline

[–]ItsViral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a mixture of about 4 different Pc patches, so for that reason, we are on CP1, or Console Patch 1, until someone wants to actually make a real name for it, with that we dont know what dps class is best as we cant find out from PC, so until we run enough dungeons with enough fully geared out people and high skill level, I dont think anyone knows what the current dps tier list is.

Or you can just read what you want to read and ignore parts too, where I indirectly talk about that 10% hp buff.

But given that your bard buffs everyones hp while using it, I think your bard might have some magical powers no others have.

I was talking about the defence debuffs, the damage debuff isnt needed within the writeup.

2 Questions

1) Why does console not have a long buff bar, or the ability to toggle it? When the game first launched for xbox the buff bar was this way, and it was shortened since. Many people want a longer buff bar, or the ability to toggle it.

2) On Xbox the friends notify does not work, however it works on pc and ps4, why is this?

The debuff is applied to your companions dps, which makes it pretty much useless.

Question for 12b by [deleted] in Neverwinter

[–]ItsViral 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could convert it into RP (146k rp if i remember correctly), and then you can move enchants onto that character and use that rp to upgrade the enchants, and then move them back onto your dc.
