badwray Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hi, no matter how I try, I can't reproduce the calculation of damage for spell 'Flames of Devotion'. According to description it should add aditional damage with 50% value of damage done but... Just see the screen: 2.6 damage * 0,5 is not 3.1 in my math . Even I ignore DR in my calculation and instead I get 50% from damage before reduction(13*0.5) it still doesnt match description. Is this a bug or i miss something?

Gyeff Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I honestly don't know. It might be a possibility that the fire damage calculated from the base 13 goes through the target's Fire DR, but it's hidden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peddroelm Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) there you go 13*0.5-13.5*0.25 = 3.125 rounded to 3.1 (assuming your target doesn't have different DR vs fire, numbers show it doesn't) Flames of devotion will go against 25% of target's Fire DR .. If the weapon used has burning lash it stacks 75% fire damage vs target 50% fire DR. . And if you add intense flames to the mix +100% fire damage - 75% target fire DR ..

I would say that way they do the mathematics makes flame of devotion better with blunderbusses, because as far as I know their mathematics with DR by pass goes (Original DR - DR bypass) * 0.25 for lash damage. For example in case DR 13.5 and DR bypass 4 (which is bypass that blunderbusses have at default) DR would be (13.5-4)*0.25 = 2.375 Damage range would be 6*0.5 - 9*0.5 = 3-4.5 So final damage would be (3-2.375) - (4.5-2.375) = 0.625-2.125 (rounded in some way probably 0.6-2.1) If it was calculated like any other damage DR would be 13.5-4 = 9.5 Damage range would be 6*0.5 - 9*0.5 = 3-4.5 So final damage would be (3-9.5) - (4.5-9.5) = 0 - 0 with minimum damage 3*0,2 - 4.5*0.2 = 0.6-0.9 [minimum damage is not currently applied in lash damages as far as I know] If it was calculated as damage multiplier which result is halved before damage reduction DR would be 13.5-4 = 9.5 Damage range would be 6*1.5*0.5 - 9*1.5*0.5 = 4.5-6.75 So Final damage would be (4.5-9.5) - (6.75-9.5)* = 0 - 0 with minimum damage 4.5*0.2 = 0.9 - 1.35. [minimum damage is not currently applied in lash damages as far as I know] Although If it was calculated as damage multiplier and result is halved after all the reductions it would offer better results, but only if min damage was applied, which is not currently case with lash damage. DR would be 13.5-4 = 9.5 Damage range would be 6*1.5 - 9*1.5 = 9-13.5 So Final damage would be (9-9.5)*0.5 - (13.5-9.5)*0.5 = 0 - 2.25 with minimum damage 9*0.5*0.2 = 0.9 - 2.25. [minimum damage is not currently applied in lash damages as far as I know] Normal damage to blunderbusses in this scenario is following DR would be 13.5-4 = 9.5 Damage range would be 6-9 So Final damage would be (6-9.5) - (9-9.5) = 0 -0 with minimum damage 6*0.2 - 9*0.2 = 1.2-1.8 So if devotion would add just half of done damage then it would be (1.2+0.6) - (1.8+0.9) = 1.8 - 2.7 And I devotion would add half damage before DR it would be in other words it was 1.5x damage multiplier (9-9.5) - (13.5-9.5)= 0 [1.8 with min] - 4 Now total damage that blunderbusses do with flames of devotion in this scenario is (1.2+0.625) - (1.8+2.125) = 1.825 - 3,925 [which is quite close to case where flames of devotion is just 1.5x damage multiplier] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peddroelm Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Weapon DR bypass does not apply to lash damage ... Weird for Marked Prey and Torments Reach with maces - same damage type for weapon and lash damage, less weird with elemental lashes like Flames of devotion, burning,etc as the damage type of weapon and lash are different .. You generally get a 25% fire DR discount for FoD ( FoD 50% vs 25% fire DR , FoD + Burning 75% vs 50% fire DR, FoD + IF + burning 100% vs 75% fire DR) .. The blunderbuss lash effects vs DR math is pretty simple - lose 6 times more damage vs DR than single shot weapons .. With no DR bypass effect from weapon for lash damage .. (Think ME3 scimtar/hitscan shotguns vs gold DR for those familiar with the franchise and mechanics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is it! I was supsecting there is something like Elemental DR, but I was thinking it have a integer values instead of % of base DR value like you shown. This information has mislead me: As it is shown Freeze DR is a unit and character that I've attacked has no explicit Fire DR(however fire dmg is reduced by 25% of base DR) or I can't find it?

temek Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) I have no idea what's going on in the 1st test and I couldn't replicate results you got when I tested myself. I can explain the 2nd test's results that you put as not matching the formula though. If you have multiple lash-type effects, they are calculated separately vs 0.25*DR (matching type so burn DR in this case) even if they are same type of dmg and you'd think they would match like Flames of Devotion with the extra talent.

dunehunter Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 As far as I know, FOD with blunderbuss is really bad on High DR enemies, since the caculation of lash damage doesn't count with DR bypass, so the higher DR enemies have, the less lash damage you do, even if you have high DR bypass, so FOD is really really bad on fast light weapon and blunderbuss, and less worse on high damage per hit weapons.

eubatham Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 EDIT: So I would say that there is bug, but it is not in Flames of Devotion but in Scion of Flame talent I've been noticing some similar inconsistencies with the damage calculation of FoD too, but my character did not have Scion of Flame. I don't have access to my game for another few days, so I can't post screenshots or logs unfortunately. Furthermore, I thought a developer commented that Scion of Flame wouldn't work with FoD or Weapons Enchants at all and are planning on patching it? So maybe the culprit is FoD itself after all?

gkathellar Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 As has been said, FoD works like a Lash. Lashes do not work with elemental damage boosters. It's really stupid, yeah. If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badwray Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 there you go 13*0.5-13.5*0.25 = 3.125 rounded to 3.1 (assuming your target doesn't have different DR vs fire, numbers show it doesn't) Flames of devotion will go against 25% of target's Fire DR .. If the weapon used has burning lash it stacks 75% fire damage vs target 50% fire DR. . And if you add intense flames to the mix +100% fire damage - 75% target fire DR .. Think I've posted some examples as such in the Paladins Really that bad thread https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/77415-are-paladins-really-that-bad/page-10?do=findComment&comment=1662109 Thanks! That is it! I was supsecting there is something like Elemental DR, but I was thinking it have a integer values instead of % of base DR value like you shown. This information has mislead me: freez_unit_damage.jpg As it is shown Freeze DR is a unit and character that I've attacked has no explicit Fire DR(however fire dmg is reduced by 25% of base DR) or I can't find it? Sorry ppl, my message just merged with the others because my posts need to be accepted before be shown, however they are shown with date that I were posting so nobody noticed my message. Can anybody try to answer question that i wrote in quoted post ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody try to answer question that i wrote in quoted post ? If some specific DR isn't listed, it means it doesn't deviate from the base DR number shown. So in the picture you have base 7 DR which applies to every damage type except those listed below: 9 DR slashing, 5 DR piercing and 9 DR freeze.
