n1, at first I didn't want to do all that calculating but beatz wanted it. Is it necessary for Bonesnap to use the armor he does, or is peace an option? He also has more ar than bonesnap tho, that may be a difference in charms, i'm not sure if yours are all 3/20/15's, i think fuzzi's are. I just figured if I was going to compare to a max dmg charger, I was going to compare it to the best one

I may be able to do some calcs with 2h dmg with CB and maybe even peace (if you can use it) if you two post up the stats.

sorry but still this:

higher avg damage will always need fewer hits to kill in general regardless of how it is distributed between min and max damage

its pure maths

i simplified the problem:

1. take a random positive number (LIFE)
2. reduce it by an other random number between MIN and MAX
3. repeat 2. while LIFE is positive

statistically the higher MIN+MAX will give a lower number of iterations

(i have MSC in Computer Science and had 234513 maths subjects )


and here comes the part where we leave maths and start talking about the game:
it might come handy that you can rely on your hits and maybe you can be more successful with a char that has higher min dam

its funny because you don't realize that the min damage would actually be higher against most characters given that any damage over the amount needed to one hit is excess

let me explain:

if a character has 600 life, you would need a max damage of 3600 to one hit them

now, lets say a min charger has a damage range of 2k-5k damage, where as normal charger has a damage range of 500-10k

in reality, given that any damage over 3600 will be doing the exact same damage as 3600, this reduces both sides to a max damage of 3600

the min damage charger's average damage then becomes 2.8k, and the normal charger becomes 2050

obviously these numbers are all hypothetical but the theory behind it is what matters

you know clanBK, it's all about long term, and your own exp about duels can't prove anything
even if you did 1 million duels, that wouldn't prove anything at all, mayb with 1 trillion, but not with 1 million, which is already > your total duels ( i guess)
