Return of Reckoning

All this ruckus because a SW, that stacks armor - whilst being member of a dedicated large scall guild no less - and that goads pugs into pushing with avoidance M1 through funnels held by organised opposition, fails to pewpew. If only armory displayed .getstats and masteries, and more so if people ...

Maybe in your ideal world SW gets bonus from Berserk without handicap, Stealth without handicap, Pounce without handicap (oh wait...nvm), massive armor without handicap (wait a sec...nvm) Again trying to get people within the refereed issue and not to stat whining on whats in their head at the time...

Maths is surely great, but... You have to use the right formula to make it work properly! The damage you RECEIVE from enemies attack is calculated as: Damage + offstatmod * (offstat - yourtoughness) + weapondps * dpsmod. Now game check for crit and then armor mitigation happen. So you calculations ...

This is excellent, exactly what I was looking for. You also introduced the term "bro-science loop" to me. Am I right in saying your maths show that even improved crit percentages would not change your conclusion. Am I right in saying that this would also hold for those with large buffs to...

Try to add armor debuff like any phys. DD is meant to use and then see how much less efficient your armor penetration becomes, as debuff is applied first. SW armor debuff goes max at -900 armor (at max scout skill tree, which never is the case but anyway lets go by that) So Case 1 with ballistics c...

How have you applied toughness mitigation to you calculation? It's not clear to me

To my knowledge toughness gets to be accounted for first. Meaning with 500 toughness you get -100 damage reduction. So out of 660 SFA you get 560 and then you get to calculate armor mitigation etc.

See my calculations on page 4 of this post.

weaponskill definitely worths it since everyone is stackign armor so easily now.

With this mindset you will never improve. You will only sit there, typing in advice chat, how OP everyone else is. Don't see a troll attempt in every comment. Ok since none seems to get in the trouble of doing some maths to support their theory crafting let me do some maths here to get out of that ...

Man, surely this game rely a lot on stat and math, but it also require some skill: reflexes, time sense, rotation composition, target choice, positioning and else. This skill change from player to player and they are the balance needle between good player and bad player. Go out of you comfort! if y...

I main Choppa and from gear don't get much ini, like +11. So no, not all the gear give ini. In addition your "very cheap RR training" cost 20 renown point to be effective so, again: no, not everyone have "immense dodge rate". If you are really so underperforming you should think...
