This would probably be easier to test on a different job.
This would probably be easier to test on a different job.
And how would you derive that.
Just from the range of numbers recorded. Seems to fit very well or marksmanship just doesn't work at all lol.
Give me an equation that fits it.Originally Posted by fodjgngf
i already did on my DrK, can't do it on an easier job.
I'm just saying, none of the hits went above 365k it seems one of two things.. something reduces boss damage or maybe ignore defence is still broken as hell? I dunno just a purely visual view.
The result was that it stacked correct?
From what it looks like, there was also the 20k variance as well..

yes, it stacked
what you mean with this?
I don't wanna say you're unlucky but don't you think you should've hit closer to your calculated damage?
What?
All the values he got were within the predicted range.
Mastery doesn't exist to fodjgngf it seems.
i hit straight in the middle of the expected range, i'd be surprised if all my hits were closer to one of the 2 caps.
I'm just saying is all.. there's this discrepancy around 20k.. that's all I'm saying. Don't know if I should just accept that it's working "properly" or not, just feels like somethings missing here.
Yeah but.. nothing at the highest end or the lowest end you know?
Seriously?
I'm just looking for the highest and lowest for accuracy's sake. His hits are so in the middle it hurts.. I'd just like to see some extremes :/ Is that too much to ask for..?
I think he's trying to say that the values that shinku observed could be the maximum values for, say 50% boss damage(random example), instead of the median values for 70% damage.
A value close to the maximum projected range would confirm that it's actually 70%.
i'll put it in simple terms, if my range is 90~100, with no PDR involved, that means that all my hits will be any number between 90 and 100.
if i add 80% boss damage, my damage would become 90(*1.8)~100(*1.8) 162~180, as long as i hit numbers between those two, it means that 1.8 boss damage is working as intended.
if i instead started hitting numbers like 136, 138, 137, then that doesn't fall in the expected results of 80% boss damage, which would imply something isn't working right. and we would have to calculate how much boss damage is actually working (in this example, it would be probably only 40% boss)
my tests indicate that all my hits fell in the range for 80% boss damage, therefore 80% boss damage is working properly.
as for why i hit between the 2 numbers, that's probability, probability dictates that i'll hit closer to the center of the results, than the corners.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution
just look at the charts there for example. i think it's called a bell's curve?
edit:
at above, i had 80%, if i grabbed my maximum range and added 70% boss,(247848) it would be a maximum possible damage of 421341 damage, most of my hits were above this number. meaning i had at least over 70% boss damage.
Yes, just a little more depth you know?
And fair enough ShinkuDragon. I'll accept its working as intended for you, I've just got my doubts on my end.
Well for your sake.
(All his values were non criticals, afaik)
Range:
20654~22450
Regular Damage:
228020~247848
40% boss.
319228~346987, no critical
50% boss.
342030~371772, no critical
70% boss.
387634~421341, no critical
80% boss.
410436~446126, no critical
Do any of these apply other than the 80%?
for the sake of science, i did a few extra hits, i got these numbers.
418xxx
420xxx
428xxx
426xxx
425xxx
