English?


Just read that

that post explain all urs previous posts :D
Lower res way better option then amp dmg vs one large group of monsters..... but u find that someday

with posting on nec with just amp dmg and trying to fool us about pvm.... u just fooled urself


You already have 105% fire pen

Say a monster has 0% fire and 0% dr
Using LR he’s now at -100% fire and 0% dr
Using amp he’s now at -100% fire and -100% dr
That’s 100% more total -res

Say a monster has 50% fire and 50% dr
Using LR he’s now at -100% fire and 50% dr
Using amp he’s now at -55% fire and -50% dr
That’s 55% more total -res

Say a monster is immune to both fire phys
Using LR (-64res) he’s now at 95-20-17-12=46% fire and 95% dr
Using amp he’s now at 95-20-17=58% fire and -5% dr
That’s 88% more total -res

There is no situation where LR beats amp
Not even close.
Also amp is boosting your merc/summon dmg, you need to use it to get faster kills to then cast CE.
You say we should waste an extra cast to override amp before casting CE to waste time and greatly reduce our dmg?
Please…

Wow, what a lifely discussion! I am impressed this build can spark so much discussion considering it's such an old school build.

I built a Fishymancer back in the day. They work great with starter gear too, just slower to run with.

Here's the link to the orignial guide.

Just in case no one has posted it yet.

Cheers!

Apparently you do not understand law of averages and think it will roll 47.5% every time. I think you need to retake your 5th grade math.

Keep trying to put words in my mouth.
Everytime you quote me with things I never said.
I’m done with you, I would feel too bad to keep bashing on a bloodied cadaver
Good luck in LoD :)

The build I linked has :

20 flat fire pen
-85 from conv
That's 105% fire pen vs non-immunes
else immunes are set to 58% fire res (95 - 20 - 17)

He wants to replace FF and faceted shield for a 2/20 2x facet + spirit
so 10 flat fire pen instead
That's 95% fire pen vs non-immunes
else immunes are set to 68% fire res (95 - 10 - 17)

Let's look at a very common fire immune situation
30% dr and 95% fire res with sunder
30 - 100 = -70% dr

95 - 17 - 20 = 58% fire res
(47.5 * 1.7) + (47.5 * 0.42) = 100.7%
We reached the kill threshold with a single cast

95 - 17 - 10 = 68% fire res
(47.5 * 1.7) + (47.5 * 0.32) = 95.95%
Sadly now everything survived, we need a 2nd CE to get the job done
It doesn't matter what is the % dmg differential
The difference is 1 CE vs 2 CE, which is directly translated as a 100% dmg increase


Read this nonsense, trying to convey that your CE will always roll the 95%[47.5*2] damage based on your calculation. You forgot it deals damage from 70%-120%.

Keep trying to put words in my mouth.

You can always reread your posts when you got mad and started name calling people with anyone who disagrees with you.

Its one of those stupid names, like vindicator templar, or mage or, ghost, or spider, you know, because they didnt wanna call them hammer/foh, smite/foh, trap/ww sin, ww sin. So now people have to understand more made up bullshit because people are too cool to use whats in the game to give characters names.
