But if DR takes it to 50, and then you get amped, it's 50 * 3 = 150 so yes, it is tripple.



Why do you insist on not taking DR formulas into account?

thanks all

gestalt is a great therapy

im alive ;D

rushing b

attack dmg = 100 // monster has 50% dr // effective dmg = 50
If choose Amp -> Triples attack from 50 to 150 winner
If choose 2.5x -> 50 x 2.5 = 125

attack dmg = 100 // monster has 0% dr // effective dmg = 100
If choose Amp -> Doubles attack from 100 to 200
If choose 2.5x -> 100 x 2.5 = 250 winner

conclusions
Nice little riddle. Shows that more dmg reduction always means less dmg taken (ignoring exceeding certain caps), and that the effectiveness of amp is most noticeable on 50 %DR builds.

100dmg attack
0% DR = 100dmg -> with amp 200dmg (x2.00)
10% DR = 90dmg -> with amp 190dmg (x2.11)
20% DR = 80dmg -> with amp 180dmg (x2.25)
30% DR = 70dmg -> with amp 170dmg (x2.43)
40% DR = 60dmg -> with amp 160dmg (x2.67)
50% DR = 50dmg -> with amp 150dmg (x3.00)
60% DR = 50dmg -> with amp 140dmg (x2.80)
70% DR = 50dmg -> with amp 130dmg (x2.60)
80% DR = 50dmg -> with amp 120dmg (x2.40)
90% DR = 50dmg -> with amp 110dmg (x2.20)
100% DR = 50dmg -> with amp 100dmg (x2.00)
110% DR = 50dmg -> with amp 90dmg (x1.80)

since the situation implied PVM:
60% DR = 40dmg -> with amp 140dmg
...
90% DR = 10dmg -> with amp 110dmg
100% DR = 0dmg -> with amp 20dmg
110% DR = 0dmg -> with amp 10dmg

Good point! I forgot the problem did start as pvm. In which case your chart is correct.



I made this chart for pvp though, because the real purpose of my thread was sparked from a curiosity of how much a player stacks DR vs how much more impactful amp becomes.

Was easy.

Do we get it now?

Class...?

Can the next bafoon arrive so we can bamboozle his soul like triunes?
