Better late than never they say. Oh, I sorted out the power thing just two(2) days ago, managed to get 335$ by working under the table (but not allowed to... :D )
I will have to retest Polearm further, mq'd that character already... but by looking at the str 55 / dex 58 and basically 10% critical hit chance, two(2) hypothesis comes to mind. maybe a 3rd... so then it needs to be tested 3 more times.
1. Stat ratio being 50/50.
2. Stat 55 strength and increasing dex to see if critical hit chance remains around 10%
3. Increase Strength and keep dex around 50 to see if and how often critical hit chance increases (or not)
Am I right about that? or would you just test a different way... oh, I also have been collecting CS gear... will test those out later on... may take time on these... health
Thanks for starting the polearm tests Rex! Let's look again at this soon to see where it falls into the context of our other tests, but even though I'm in bed I just wanted to post the averages. Since it's hard to see differences in crit rates unless you either have a crazy amount of trials or a decent change in test stats, let's try to test something like 15-20 stat point differences in strength or dex at least? The results from polearms are all pretty similar, but the stats are all about the same (except the 58 dex one, but that one has 1 crit strike).
My hypothesis for polearms (and staves) is currently the dex/str reverse of my hypothesis for swords--that only strength will heavily modify the crit rate. #2 will be able to test that, if you increase dex considerably between tests and don't see a change in crit rate, so that's a good test IMO, especially since your hypothesis is that it will change. #3 is a great test to test my main hypothesis that increasing strength will increase crit chance. I don't know what you mean by #1, but if that's for your hypothesis, sure why not
So far the data look like they are showing not much difference in crit chance based on dex (supporting my hypothesis, but ofc #2 will yield more convincing results in support or against).
