Blake why did you have to show me this.
Read 5 pages of it and I'm just shaking my head. How can people fail at basic math so hard.
Sad thing is I have two friends in this thread trying to teach basic arithmetic to kids on jsp who seem to still be in math-54.

no einstein,

if you are saying "double" , double what?? the BASE dmg your referring to,
then if you say "triple" the damage, then triple the orginal damage, you cant change variables like that


what is your native language?

There is a boss. You have to kill it as fast as possible. Before you start, you get to choose between:
- damage times 2.5
- amp
Which one should you choose? Depends on the boss' dr%.
If the boss has 50%dr, amp is better. Indeed, amp is dmg times 3 against 50%dr
If the boss has 0%dr, amp is worse. Indeed, amp is dmg times 2 against 0%dr

then you shouldn't be using double and triple in comparative terms to eachother,

the education standards in the states is very low, you end up with a bunch of duncecaps who think they are so smart


Pretty sure you're the one trying to say that one cannot use double and triple whilst having different base numbers. That's an idiotic declaration in its own right since no one claimed they were.

You made an ass of yourself by making the simple assumption the damage dealt was the same before amp is applied.

thats wrong

if your attack does 100 damage pts

what yall claimin is:
against a boss, if you amp him with NO dr, your attack will do 200 pts = DOUBLE
against a boss, if you amp him he has 50% dr, your attack will do 150 pts = 1.5x NOT triple

where you spaced out monkeys are getting it wrong , is that you are claiming against a boss with with 50%dr, you are changing your original damage pts to 50 then adding 100 = 150 and calling that triple, you cant compare the two because you are comparing 100 pts vs 50 pts <<< this is a FALLACY, you cant compare apples to oranges like that :bonk:

but amplify damage, it LOWERS the monster phys resistance by 100%, so if you are getting amplified, if you start with 0 dr, you go to -100%dr, if you have 50%dr (cap) you go to -50%dr,

so having DR is BETTER than NO DR, whether you are getting amped or not

what a bunch of maroons, you got to be trolling to be this stupid

Take your 1k damage. apply zero dr. you do 1k. add amp, you do 2k. take your 1k damage, apply 50% dr, you'd do 500. add amp, you do 1.5k. we're taking the numbers AFTER DR HAS BEEN APPLIED. WE ARE TAKING THE NUMBER WHICH WOULD BE THE ACTUAL FUCKING DAMAGE AND ADDING IN AMP. NOT WHAT IT SAYS YOU WILL HIT. WITH FUCKING ZERO DR YOU WILL HIT FOR 1 FUCKING THOUSAND DAMAGE. WITH 50% YOU'D ONLY HIT FOR FUCKING 5 HUNDRED. THAT'S WHERE WE GOT THE NUMBERS FROM HOLY SHIT. STOP ACTING LIKE WE JUST PULLED RANDOM SHIT OUT OF OUR ASSES. IF YOU CAN'T FUCKING COMPREHEND WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU, THEN YOU ARE A LOST SOUL. HOLY FUCK, DUNCE. You're so fucking dull it's honestly astonishing. yes they are different base numbers, BECAUSE WE TAKE DR INTO FUCKING ACCOUNT BEFORE AMP.
