This.

And you have to take into factor, is average mob size in full game exactly 5? And does the caster only attack for 5+? ect ect ect ect. ect ect.




ect.

If 5 was average mob size, you can figure on average with 20 prof in full game every 4 clicks will attack 8 monsters. (assuming your party doesnt KO, b4 u hit)

aka double actions.

The numbers that i've seen thrown around are +1% per prof point and a 5% bonus for a full group

these seem to make sense, there would be no point in making the formula really complex


although i'm talking about the splash damage in catacombs when a caster hits everything at once. i'm still not sure what the hell this 'megacrit' thing is though, it sounds retarded to me.

this table is wrong cole doesn't cast 1 out of 2 hit...
not sure, maybe he'll say something about it.
So it might have diminish returns..

You don't have to take any of that into account. If the person isn't attacking, their actions won't go up. You aren't trying to figure out the % of monsters being megacrit on, you're trying to figure out the % of casts that are actually megacrits.

I've also stated that I want some hardcore statistical data for this to be proven with, as hearsay is just hearsay.


Anyways, I'm a little confused as to what ect means.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECT one of those?
or:

I don't think this 'hardcore statistical data' exists.

PM Paul or do the tests yourself, imo.

WOW DOOD U SO FUNNEH

Ok serious question.

If you were to determine the statistics for this, when recording data, would you just null the 1 mob waves?

Assuming you attack on every wave repeatedly, how much data would be enough? Maybe I'll do it.

If you were to seriously attempt this, I would think you would have to not attack the 1 mob waves, since there is no way to tell if you succeeded. Just have a melee person wipe em out. Also don't attack if there is only one mob left on multiple mob waves.

As to how much data: The more the better

It is "Area of Effect", not "Megacrit"... there is only one "Megacritter" out there... so in other words... that is his nickname... "Megacrit"

I can only speculate based on what everyone is trying to achieve here... so this is what I am going to throw into the mix:

Things to take into the equations:
1. Full group or not full group... what % chance to activate "AoE" by amount of players... this would be around 1% CtC per player (example only)
2. Proficiency Rank, for every Rank we obtain, we may say that it is 1% or even 0.50% CtC
3. Do we get the % CtC "AoE" based on the numbers of monsters that we are engaging?

So let us discuss based on the variables...

5% = 5 Players
5% = Rank 10 (based on 0.50%)
= 10% total chance per cast (theory without taking into the equation of monster size)

That is a very high % chance, there has to be something else in this equation.

This is your second spam post in this topic. Glad to see you being so constructive in the community.



Technically it hasn't been named yet by Paul. So it is not "Area of Effect, or AoE," just as it isn't officially named megacrit, but I'll continue to call it that, because I can.

You also have to take into effect diminishing returns of proficiency levels. Meaning 45 prof won't ~= 50% chance to megacrit.
It isn't said anywhere that number of monsters change the chance to cast a megacrit, which leads me to believe that they don't.


But, you're setting the variables to values that aren't known yet, and then saying there's something missing >.<, doesn't really make sense.
