Hi All,

For an off the hip example, casting the baseline hib nuke:

Let’s say my modified spec (22 + 11 + 3) is 36

Than lets say my modified spec was increased to 50.

How much harder does the baseline nuke hit? Anyone have a guess?

Thanks,

Considering that fact that I do not know the answer, yes, you indeed get a prize.

First to post the winning answer, along with their address, will receive a batch of the wife's fudge brownie cookies tongue

Every 3 points of spec = about 1% more damage so i would guess around 4% more damage.

Go to pend and test it.

The correct answer is that the damage won't change, the variance will just be alot less. At 36 effective spec, you'll see something like 1.5-2 x delve. With a 50 spec, it'll be more consistantly 2x delve.

Note: those numbers are before mods like acuity buffs, toa damage %, etc.

ps - i want my cookies!

With 35 equivalent light there is no variance in baseline DD damage.

Go to pend and test it.

Well, if you insist.

50+8 Light Spec:

[16:21:31] You hit Thrust for 399 damage!
[16:21:33] You hit Thrust for 399 damage!
[16:21:35] You hit Thrust for 399 damage!
[16:21:37] You hit Thrust for 399 damage!

...and it goes on like that. Suffice it to say, no variance. That's 1.94 delve, folks. (Pend clone has MoM5)

/respec all

27+8 Light Spec

[16:28:58] You hit Thrust for 306 damage!
[16:29:15] You hit Thrust for 335 damage!
[16:29:16] You hit Thrust for 328 damage!
[16:29:19] You hit Thrust for 376 damage!
[16:29:22] You hit Thrust for 376 damage!
[16:29:24] You hit Thrust for 319 damage!
[16:29:26] You hit Thrust for 328 damage!
[16:29:28] You hit Thrust for 312 damage!
[16:29:30] You hit Thrust for 370 damage!
[16:29:32] You hit Thrust for 392 damage!

Why that's...I think...yes! It's variance! Nearly 100 points worth! So that's 1.49 to 1.91 delve.

Gosh, Therrik was right on, and the guy who we're all surprised got through a post without typing 'ROFL' is just making noise. Who'd've thought?

Nice burn. Really. Cookies all around...

Thanks for the testing. Really proves what I wanted to know. Thanks for not letting me believe the incorrect spam...

Actually you are right, i just got done testing and was getting about a 50 point variance nuking my bot.


So wasting 14 more spec lvls in light is totally worth it! Except then you wont have a decent pbae or heat debuff, but sure go ahead!

Who the hell said he was a chanter? Or even that his main spec was mana?

Worst attempt at a cover up for ignorance EVER btw.

So is he going to spec 40 in mana as and eld or 40 in void? Whatever you do 36 in light is pretty much going to screw up your spec unless your going to be an enchantment chanter.
