[X] My Assistant

Damn, does the poison+PA thing not work on gods? My poison hit the same on FSM regardless of whether or not I used it when PA was up.

Still works.

It should do more damage with PA. If it doesn't, something's wrong.

Well, that f*cks up my calculations... I would be really interested to know exactly when it starts giving you 3 turns.

My guess is at level 250.

Yeah, PA+poison worked for me on legendaries before, but on FSM it was doing less than 50 dmg per tick. Then I recasted it without PA and it did around 70ish per tick.

If you're talking about hitokiri84 staff, I see it as 2 turns too. so maybe it wont be 3 until level 260

I see 3.

That's very strange, I'm sure at your level it used to do 150-200 dmg (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

That's normal, FSM have the most resistance against poison among all the bosses.

@ cmdct

He probably have very low INT.

So the ratting works in this situations? Like in Invested in Redemption and Sanctity = High damage when hitting with Holy infusion?

I noticed something odd in the shop earlier today, and I apologize if this has already been gone over, but I'm pretty sure the proc duration is being heavily rounded.

In the bazaar there were two staffs, a lvl 240 and a lvl 239. Both listed with 2 turns duration, but the 240 gave me the full 2 turns while the lower level staff, the 239, dropped me to 1. I'm assuming the 240 staff have a proc duration of 2.x and the 239 was a 1.y and the 2.x rounded down while the 1.y rounded up. If say the 240 was a 2.4 and the 239 was a 1.5 and the proc rounded was decreased by some linearly scaled percentage based on my level... lets say I was getting 66% of the true duration, the 2.4 would go to ~1.6 and round back up to the full 2, while the 1.5 would drop to ~1, dropping me from 2 to 1 based on my level.

That would explain the massive variation we see in proc duration scaling by level.

I reset my ability page today. What a bitch doing all that.

I wish we could just pay to take points out of certain shit we don't want instead of having to clear the entire page and redo the whole damn thing.

Actually now that I think about it, I'm not sure. It's easy to see using a Eth weapon, then using a infusion of gaia and compare the damage before and after.

Edit:Wait, (from wiki)

soul rating does not increase the damage dealt by ethereal weapons

The problem is regardless of whether or not PA is up when the spell is casted, poison does the same damage(almost the same anyways). I'm fighting him again right now and same thing.

Yes, I looked into it here. (You really need to catch up...) Still trying to figure out the numbers for staffs though.

bollocks. Yeah its going to take awhile to catch up D:

I did mine @250, pulled points out of spirit tank for the level 250 abilities. But I'm surprised that you don't have everything maxed at your level.

I wanna mount Hito and max out his anal. Yeaahh, tap that chubby ass. (IMG:[lulzimg.com] http://lulzimg.com/i9/b3485cdd.gif)

I dunno, I've seen posts about them + cmal is auctioning one + there's a WTB thread. And that's more interest than I've ever seen personally. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
