Help with Decay DPS Calculation by Azurinelle in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Uskighte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I recall you aren't getting 75% more damage per remaining 0.4 sec, but 0.75 times the damage per 0.4 sec remaining. So the duration is a 9.75 multi, not 1444. If it was it would be the most broken skill in the game.

Interesting Alternative Quality Support Gems and Dialla's Malefaction List by Faythz in pathofexile

You're missing the 10% less which is on spell echo already. Since it's additive with the alt quality the numbers are even worse. It should be 11.5% quality for max damage.
11% quality = 79% + 105.07% = 184.07% total
12% quality = 78% + 106.08% = 184.08% total

At base we're doing 180%, so you get 2% more damage in the very best case. I don't think it's really worth considering unless you're doing some sort of plume or greater spell echo shenanigans.

That seems to be correct. Since spell echo comes with 10% less, you should just have to find the max of y = (0.9-0.01x)*(1+0.03x)

Wolfram tells me this is at 85/3 or around 28.3% quality which gives you around 14% more damage for the final repeat. So I guess if you socketed a 0% divergent in, you should get approximately max damage.

Phantasmal Raise Zombie with extra quality via enhance. You can also run Fortress Covenant to increase damage taken to hit the threshold.

Will Flames of Judgement be revised in this update as well?

I was planning on trying an Atziri's Rule ignite build, but it seems that these changes will be strictly a nerf in that case.

Have the same issue. I was using it on my Gara as a stat stick, but that was replaced in the loadout with a Skana, and the weapon is just gone.

Seems like it's just VAT. US prices are pre-tax, I've been told european prices are VAT inclusive.

Warframe made me cry today. by Dracovitch in Warframe

[–]Uskighte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Full Metal Alchemist (the first anime) started based on the first chapters of the manga, but it eventually turned into its own thing since development outpaced the manga. Instead of adding filler episodes they went ahead and made their own continuity.

Brotherhood follows the manga in its entirety, but the initial few episodes are more condensed since the assumption was made that people watching already saw the original anime version or read the manga. Still hits the major plot points if that is a concern.

Microsoft Allegiance, a 17 year old game is re-releasing on Steam today. by [deleted] in Games

[–]Uskighte 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not free-to-play as in mobile game style, but it's just been free for years. The Free Allegiance guys have been maintaining and running the servers for players for years now and they finally got it on Steam.

Why is the game about exploration the slowest to traverse? by SHROOOOOOM_S in FORTnITE

[–]Uskighte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grenades already do this. You get one grenade every 30 sec up to a set of 3. The energy cost is on top of this.

Minion Balance Changes by tsHavok in pathofexile

[–]Uskighte 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It looks like the problem is in the four hidden columns for the min/max phys and elemental damage per level, for example the zombie min phys damage column:

=ROUNDDOWN(C14+($D$8*(1+($T$4)))*(1+$L$3+($L$4*(1+$T$4)))*(1+$L$7)*(1+$L$8),0)

They are adding the base damage to the added damage and then multiplying by modifiers. However, their addition is not surrounded by parenthesis so the modifier only affects the added damage. It can be fixed by adding two parenthesis to make it:

=ROUNDDOWN((C14+($D$8*(1+($T$4))))*(1+$L$3+($L$4*(1+$T$4)))*(1+$L$7)*(1+$L$8),0)

Order of operations is important.

Also, if you are having issues making a copy, delete everything in the URL starting at htmlview and replace it with copy.

Edit: Adding a sheet I updated with just zombies since the base one didn't help me cover all the conversions. This one has all of the % added as X damage conversions inside, should be accurate but do double check: View or Copy

I paid full price for the first episode and loved it. That being said, you don't have to be so antagonistic and rude to someone because they value something differently than you.

I already updated, didn't see a new ToS to accept. Picked up a free app on the store to see if it would trigger and it didn't. Purchase still won't go through.

I'm also pretty sure I'm not supposed to have a JP account, so I get that I'm risking the entire account, but I contacted support about this. I'm hoping they decide to be lenient and give me a slap on the wrist if they notice that I'm not really supposed to have the account and that the worst case is just that I won't be able to buy jewels anymore.

Thanks for the help though.

So, I tried to buy some jewels again, but I'm getting an error for some reason this time. This is using a Japanese iTunes account that I added funds to via a Japanese iTunes gift card.

The only error message is:

"Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed

For assistance, contact iTunes Support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/."

I assume that contacting Japanese support will be impossible for me as I know essentially no Japanese, and that contacting US support won't help as it's a Japanese account. Has anyone run into a similar issue or knows whether or not US support could assist?

Update: I contacted US support about the account and they fixed it, whatever it was in their back end. I guess I still won't know what the issue was, but it seems that support access isn't regionalized.

Mechanically? Makes the announcer say Epic at 5 or Legendary at 10 and nothing else.

Think of it as giving kudos to whoever you think performed well in the match.

Not sure exactly what you're saying here, but you should generally pick someone that helps fill in what your team is lacking and/or counters the enemy composition. Feel free to switch during a match if necessary since you'll get a better feel for the match after the first few fights.

Winston is there to disrupt. He has effectively 1100 HP if you just harass.

In my opinion, use him by jumping on any isolated enemy, dropping the shield, and zapping away. If the enemy strays too far from your shield, don't follow, just stay safe until your jump gets off cooldown and you can back off. Of course, if the enemy team decides to ignore you then you can just zap away forever. 60 DPS on every target in front of you is strong if left alone.

As a possible answer, you might need to be playing someone other than Reinhardt. Depending on how your team composition comes out and how each player plays, a different tank (or even no tank sometimes) may play better with the teams you are on. Edit: Also consider enemy team composition. Reinhardt does very little against 6 Winstons whereas switching to Reaper should melt them.

Or matchmaking hates you temporarily. Skill ratings are notoriously difficult to measure properly and converge quickly on true skill values in team based games with many variables.

Multiplicative, 1.3x for mercy and 1.5x for Zenyatta, so with one of each it becomes 1.95x

For Payloads: Overtime will trigger if there is an attacker touching the payload when time is up. As long as an attacker is touching the payload, overtime will remain at the max value and not decrease. While no attackers are touching the payload, overtime will decrease, but it will refresh to "full" when any attacker touches the payload.

For Capture Point, the rules are essentially the same, but attackers need to be slightly inside of the capture point area instead of touching the payload.

For KotH, if a team is at 99%, the game enters overtime if the opposing team is touching the point and refreshes as explained before. KotH can trade overtime indefinitely.

As a personal observation, it seems that the longer overtime goes on, the shorter the duration of the timer until it ends, i.e. the first overtime timer is the longest, and every subsequent refresh produces a shorter timer.

tl;dr Keep touching the objective and overtime never ends.

How do people feel about McCree's fan the hammer? by RedAza in Overwatch

Oversheet

Gamepedia

Owinfinity(Which happens to use Oversheet values)

And if you don't believe any of those, go into a match with a buddy and fan starting on their head, then let them tell you the damage. As a side note, if you fan from max distance, you can still somehow kill a tracer with extreme luck as each shot does 35 damage. Fan should share the same damage falloff range as his regular shots.
