Savage becomes 1.44x instead of 1.6x.

Mutinous adds with boss/behind when you are behind the boss/when the boss is enraged, so it does affect it, hence if you look at mang's spreadsheet he splits it into % behind, %enraged, %both, %none, etc.

Forceful, as a set power, and if you have a stance up as archer, it's less. It's good for warriors, slayers, and zerks(?), mostly for their faster attack speed, lower base power, and higher crit. Also because the buff isn't up 100% of the time, you have to take into account, and it only procs on crits or something like that.

By the time you get there, it'll almost be as good as mang's, but he counts a lot of other factors too.

Okay so I have a question.

Hailstorm--how does the game decide whether you are "behind" a mob for this spell? Does it determine your position based on the initial cast, or does it check your position relative to the BAM every time it ticks for damage?

@Synaesthetic
I don't know about Hailstorm specifically, but Rain of Arrows checks your position on every tick. So some can be front and some can be back.

Do you have a link to his spreadsheet? Wasn't really aware that there was a spreadsheet already.

For boss/behind/enraged, what you're saying is that if you had 1 of each mod, it's 1 + .045 + .051 + .06? not 1.045*1.051*1.06? It'd be kind of weird to have it work like that.

As for forceful, yeah I know about the power etc and such. I'll revise that, was in a rush earlier. For the procs, I was going to have an entry about # of attacks in 10 seconds average which I'd use to compare to % of time behind the boss and crit %.


If this is the spreadsheet that you're talking about...

I don't know if I want to continue trying just to have one that can be updated :(




Edit: Okay I revised it. Let me know if anything is wrong. I have no idea how to use Google spreadsheets, so I couldn't do the protected range :(

I hope I can be forgiven reviving an older thread, but is this information still current?

Thank you!
