Thats bullshit.


CE is 70-120% of corpses life. More people = more life = same effectiveness.


No. It doesn't work that way. In p8, the damage is still calculated from the monsters health in p1.
To maintain effectiveness, one must use Infinity + maxed Amp, and still, that's not enough to make p8 CE similar to p1 CE.

No. What increases is the % not the life. so if in a 1 person game a monster's life is 100%, in 8 players it's, let's say 800%.

You kill a monster that has 20 000life and a base of 2500 life. When you corpse explode it, the 70-120% corpse explosion applies on the base 2500 life not on the 20 000 life(800% of 2500) so the damage done to another same monster will be on average:

20 000 - (0.70 + 1.20)/2 x 2500 + 20 000 = -17 625 + 20 000 = 2375

It will take on average 9 corpse explosions to kill the monster in an 8 player game while it only takes 1 in a private 1 player game ^_^ so you gotta blow 9 bodies to kill the remaining monsters, that's unefficient.

Check edit, the 17k u quoted is the final life not the damage lol I faaked up

amp makes it better but it would still take like 5 blows lol, basically anything more than 3 blows is inefficient.

Well, actually iirc the life in 8player games is 450% that of solo games - (1+players)/2 * base life
But yeah, CE is not a skill for full games.

450% ok thx I forgot exact value ^_^ with 450% it's:

20 000life 4444 base so 0.95 x 4444 = 4222 life per blow, takes 5 blows.
