Korevas Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Seems like Annihilation is now even more the way to go for both pvp and pve. With 9% raw bleed damage and the bugfix for 30% crit damage (ok, this should have been in already, but still), the buff also appears to be quite big. I'd have liked to see some more defense/mobility instead, but this is not bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threas Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's a utility nerf, it doesn't actually affect us as a class. It's not like people won't take us on raids, our damage is sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atreyuz Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) wait a moment. I tought Bleedout was giving us 30% more dmg on bleeds (bug) instead of only on crits... are you saying it wasnt doing anything at all?

CrazyAl Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 wait a moment. I tought Bleedout was giving us 30% more dmg on bleeds (bug) instead of only on crits... are you saying it wasnt doing anything at all? no, it was explained in detail a while ago the talent was actually giving the 30% bonus at a base level, instead of just on crits they are fixing it so it applies to only crits, but then they are also boosting the base damage though another talent the effect is a slightly lower base damage, and a proper boost to the crits, so with decent crit rate + berserk our overall damage will go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmasterkiller Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The old system: (you can see a small test sample and a continuation of this discussion here) The current system tooltips do not match up with actual in game math. The currrent system is doing the following: Bleedout is currently giving us 30% damage to all bleed effects, not crit chance. Deep Wound is unconfirmed. Without watching and counting 1000 ticks (or combat log) we can only assume it is affecting Rupture's direct damage correctly. Hemorrhage is adding 4% instead of 6% additional damage to bleed damage. The first point provides ~2% increase, each additional point is ~1%. New system proposed: Hemorrhage: 15% bleed damage increase Bleedout: 30% critical multiplier increase Using a the following stats as an example: 131 unmodified unskilled Rupture/Deadly Saber dot 25% crit chance 70% crit multiplier Old System In the old system with Bleedout, Hemorrhage: 131 * 1.3 * 1.04 = 177 normal dot 131 * 1.3 * 1.04 * 1.7 = 301 critical dot To explain those numbers we have the 131 base dot (no skills). We multiply that number times 1.3 for the 30% increase we WERE receiving from Bleedout. We then multiply times 1.04 for the 4% increase we WERE receiving from Hemorrhage. In the 2nd row, we multiply 1.7 for the critical multiplier. Let's normalize that across 1000 dots. With at 25% crit chance that is 750 normal dots and 250 critical dots. 177 * 750 = 132,750 normal dot damage 301 * 250 = 75,250 critical damage Grand total = 208,000 New System In the new system with Bleedout, Hemorrhage: 131 * 1.15 = 150.65 normal dot 131 * 1.15 * 2 = 301 critical dot 131 is still our base unskilled dot. The 1.15 is the new Hemorrhage (3 points at 5% for each point = 15%). The 1.3 is the "corrected" Bleedout critical multiplier number. We are multiplying times 2 because 70% is the base critical multiplier and Bleedout provides an additional 30% critical multiplier. We would assume it is additive. If that is incorrect, the critical dot is 332 (and the final number still show new system a dps loss). So lets normalize the new system across 1000 dots. Same as above, 25% base crit chance gives us 750 normal dots and 250 critical dots. 151 * 750 = 114,000 301 * 250 = 75,250 Grand total = 189,250 What about Juyo form and Juyo Mastery? The new system does value critical chance more than the old system, but you would still need over 98% crit chance for the new system to overtake the old system. TL;DR The old system and new system critical dot amounts are exactly the same. All that has changed is non-crit dots will be less than the old system's non-crit dots. Unless there is something we are missing, this is a damage decrease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to Roll a sorc just like All others , Marauders no cc no really any cool tricks . Only damge , now they take that away A's Well , Marauders small dots wooht assins criting for 6k and CC and knockback and range and brust And pull and vanish and steath where is Youre cool tricks bloodthist. Per 5 mins lool Runing speed lol Treade All my cooldowns for steath and a vanish , When are they going to nerf steath Down to 2 sec? its not like we we are good to stand take hits ...

Soulfighter Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) all those maths are wrong, first you need to use a 40% crit chance on dots (if you state your base 25%) and then you applied the damage boost of Bleedout & Hemorrhage on each other which is just speculation, they probably both boost the base dmg. With correct math(it takes 5 min to do really) you actually get a slight dmg boost and obviously the gap increases as you get more surge.

With correct math(it takes 5 min to do really) you actually get a slight dmg boost and obviously the gap increases as you get more surge. That is MUCH easier than trying to describe it like: (1.15 * (1 + Crit*(Mult+.3))) / (1.3 * 1.04 * (1 + Crit*Mult)) (Kor's math) Please take 5 minutes to do the math correctly and show that you are coming up with a different conclusion. If you increase critical multiplier you actually get more damage in the old system. At 90% critical multiplier you are getting ~1.2% higher damage in the old system.

If you increase critical multiplier you actually get more damage in the old system. At 90% critical multiplier you are getting ~1.2% higher damage in the old system. if you do your "bad" math with REAL stats you will see it is a damage increase. the reality is we lose the 30% to all damage on dots right now, however we gain 11% to all damage (because of talent fixes) that is a 19% lost to BASE dot damage, but yet a 30% increase to all crits. If you have even half decent gear you rock a near 50% change to crit on dots, it is a damage increase by 5ish% on dot damage. Do the math correctly and you see an increase do troll math like yours and you make a loss seem like its there when in reality is it not. Use real values for crit and surge, like 46% crit and 118% surge (on dots) like i have (in raids) and you see a decent jump in damage. The devs of this game are infinitely smarter then you, they know what they are doing. Edited February 2, 2012 by Hizoka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The devs of this game are infinitely smarter then you, they know what they are doing. You only gain 30% crit to dot damage, not all damage. You don't gain 11% to all damage (where did you come up with this from??). Adjust the crit chance and crit multiplier and you will see you will still not get more damage from the new system. The post shows simplification of the problem. Let's use your numbers and re-run them. 131 base damage 46% crit chance 118% crit multiplier Old system: 131 * 1.3 * 1.04 = 177 normal dot 131 * 1.3 * 1.04 * 2.18 = 386 critical dot New system: 131 * 1.15 = 151 normal dot 131 * 1.15 * 2.48 = 373.6 critical dot What you are trying to prove is the exact opposite. The more critical multiplier you have actually benefits the old system better. You will do less damage in 1.1.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
