You will probably need to do that a lot with me, as my mind is going faster than my fingers are typing. So wading through my posts can also be difficult.



Jedimagi's testing alone is enough to refute that immediately. Heck even most of your own testing is enough proof of that.



It looks like you think i am already putting some crit calculation into the formula.

Currently the Damage calculator currently does not even attempt to calculate critical hit, it currently presumes you have 0% chance to crit

100% of that damage change is from the increase of damage from the dex adding damage to your weapon. I could quite easily add a number to the side of how much crit you'd like to apply to your current damage, but i'd rather keep it as is until the damage calc will automatically suggest how much crit it thinks you have. In terms of where i got 4 or 5 from, the ratio is 25/75, so 6 dex divided by 4 multiplied by 3 (simple calculation for 75%) gives 4.5, this results in either 4 or 5 damage instances (ignoring bonus instances). Any decimal must be one or the other, and can round in either direction, to do with those green/red charts i made specifically for showing damage instances.



Agreed, changing ones perspectives can be difficult at times and being open to it is generally a good thing. This topic is trying to learn more as no-one right now other than Paul say how much crit you should have with a samurai using a dagger at level 55 with 200 dex and 50 strength.
Ideally i'd like for the damage calc to know this as this then leads to item comparisons such as what is stronger, a 52 strength charm or a 40 strength +6 crit charm. The answer for that one is unclear.


One other thing:
If you're helping out and have made your own copy of the sheet, I will not have access to your data until you share it with me, shoot me a PM to do this

You and me both.



With my previous tests I did notice the difference, hence I started to test using the reverse ratio of that weapon, but the damage reduction made this pointless. But, for your testing criteria I will still adjust where I can, since I will save stat points after 100 base vitality to test results better at higher levels (excluding level 77+).



No sorry, I was just reflecting base damage numbers of the additional 6 Dexterity vs the 0.6% ChC from your test results, not the damage calculator. I think my presentation and wording wasn't clear about that, sorry for any misunderstandings.



True, I am aware of myself and how my perspective or interpretation can be misleading when I explain things, I am trying to relate this by changing how I approach a topic ... at times I get frustrated because some things I write makes sense to me, but in most cases, it is met with criticism because of how in the past I have expressed things.

Yes, Paul would know the answer, or (what I have been informed of), could check the coding of what some of the other people added to the game mechanics on his behalf.

The addition of ChC ratio and how the Critical Strike modifier is implemented into your Damage Calculator will be extremely beneficial. Can not wait for this addition as it is a better tool than some of the old Guides left in the portal, and can be used with the creation of any upcoming Guides.



YES, I will PM my notes to you about my results. Thanks.

So some findings and rough interpretation of current results:

75/25 and 25/75 weapons have different crit rates to 10/90 and 90/10 weapons. OR heavy weapons have an increased crit rate (or both)
Using my polearm data and comparing it to daggers as well as club data showed that with less stats to have more crits than clubs or daggers.

Continued trending data that per "wrong stat" or "critical instance" roughly 0.1% crit is gained and continued trend that for each +1 item crit gives +1% chance to crit

Trap Doors appear to significantly impact crit chance, which either means mob level is a factor or the difference between your level and the mob level.




Currently have an assistant helping on high dex clubs and i'm doing high strength daggers, these results should hopefully narrow down how much crit is being gained from wrong stat/critical instances to begin an actual attempt of the formula.
Would like information on staff or sword crits. Even just tracking level 1-20 on two climbs would give me a reasonable indication.

Great start, after this will be the ChC with Charms since they don't have identified ratios like weapon ratios from stats. Since charms only operate on Intelligence alone.

Still stuck on same map catacomb... but will get some data for you... when I get back from work in two to three days.



so true.

I am just going on portal information that Weapon Ratios influences the weapons ChC ... it would be a nightmare if it effects charms as well.

from what we are aware of at least, maybe we get much higher base crit because of all the other base stats into dex/str??

well my 146 vit char had more crits than they should have gotten, still working out where that came from tbh. Presumed it was from weapon choice but who knows.


Hopefully the max strength dagger setup should clarify things a bit more

Your testing criteria may have to add in a few things? Maybe it is hidden thing with Prof Rank? (I know it should not matter, but we can never tell, )

i am currently "hoping" it isn't prof.

I'll know a hell of a lot more once i have better data on dex clubs and strength daggers, both of which are being ran right now

Same... anyway, went to send you a small sample. You can either unblock me or just check out our guild thread as I will be posting them their for record keeping, unless you want me to put in the Build section. Oh, let me know if you want me to work on other heavy weapons, since I am working with spear and 30str / 41 dex till level 20, then will re-roll with 30str / 10dex for 20 levels to compare the addition of 30(31) dexterity ratio of spear, and because I am only pumping Vitality, maybe find out if any truth to one of your previous comments.

EDIT: On a side note for Damage Calculator, did you add in "+% Mastery" for Charms like prof?

Will let you know if i need prof or not when i know more myself.


sidenote:
nope, could easily do that as it's dead easy to code.
