QUOTE(hitokiri84 @ Jan 28 2011, 16:41)  PA + Nerf + Soul Burst on the other hand is super effective. Even more so if you've got a couple of battlecaster weapons you can duel-wield.
Is this from experience?

Of course, and it's way, way faster than playing as a straight mage or melee fighter. The drawback is it only works on lower difficulties due to needing restoratives.

How works Luck of the draw bonus?
lets say that quality value is 1-100 1-12 crude 13-25 fair 26-37 average 38-50 fine 51-63 superior 64-76 exquisite 77-89 magnificent 90-100 legendary or something like that
so, if weapon drops and its value is generated as 15 and I have luck at lvl 2 i got 15 + 2%x100 = 17 or 15 + 2%x15 = 15,3 ?
or is it totally something else?

Do you use that against the Gods? Or other RoB? And of course, this is pointless, since I have no even remotely good battlecaster pieces.

Your numbers are horribly, horribly off. The LotD only applies to the loot bonuses. You have a base loot roll between 1 and 1000. And then you have bonuses based on the difficulty, what round it is, what the monsters are etc. THAT bonus is then increased by LotD. Say the bonus was 500, it would become 500*1.02 (in your case). That is then added to your base loot roll. Example: Base roll is 600. Loot bonuses from crap is 500. LotD is 5. 500*1.05 = 525 Total Loot Quality = 600+525 = 1125 At least, that's how it used to be. Tenb could've changed it. This post has been edited by DemonEyesBob: Jan 29 2011, 04:29

I believe, based on the math, it is a decent part of causes people with 23 LotD to get shit items. It's a random number between 1-1000; that's all there really is to it. Even if all your loot bonuses and LotD give you +2000 loot quality on a specific round (say the last round of Battletoads Trio), if your base loot roll is 50 you'll get a superior piece where you could've got a magnificent (just an example, I pulled the numbers and quality out of my ass). The problem of unbalanced or sucky items, where you get a superior or exquisite piece that just sucks, well that's snowflake's fault and has nothing to do with LotD directly (I believe).

That really fucking sucks (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ---- Archaeologist ftw. In the hopes that more artifacts = more ability points + hath = more C for more training.

It depends, one factor to blame could be your low depreciating proficiency
