Nice job Max, how long did this take?^^


Like 3 hours if you include the time in between trials where I had to get up and walk around little bit because so bored lol


I also originally wanted to test if putting a target with more summons would make the shadow mind blast even more, (hence the the 'targets summons" input, and possibility if non based skills affect shadows mind blast) but by the time I was half way threw lvl 15's mind blast the results were already so apparent / skewed that no matter how much more information I added it wouldn't change the final result: max mind blast @@

Also, would have taken me 2 times 3 times my orig time to test everything I wanted (base mb levels, summons 0, 1, 6, 9 shadow gc vs 0), and that would have just been awful Lol

step 1: level 58 shadow master precast
step 2: assassin who has only leveled mind blast, claw master, fade, venom and shadow master, having put 0 points into martial arts or traps (okay I'll let you respec 1 point fireblast/wof)
step 3: 174% fcr setup with 48 mind blast = 43 shadow master mb
step 4: ??????
step 5: mb = bm

Can you test whether base lvl 20 mb vs using a bunch of shadow skillers and +skills will change anything as well?

Examples:
1) MB level from your standard 9x trap gc 08 valk 102fcr trapper (level 37)
2) MB level from your standard 9x shadow gc 65fcr ghost. (level 42)
3) MB level from your standard 4x shadow gc (lvl 18 master) 102 Spider Sin (level 40)

My gut feeling is that 9x shadow GC ghost > 32020s sc ghost because all of the of the benefits from skills > a little extra AR and physical damage, but I want concrete data (one of which is mb).

Idk, I just feel physical damage compliments DS/CS so well. 9x Shadow GCs is nice for Trap certain matchups, though.
