You just kept saying that "Shadow Partner gets multiplied by multipliers".
Again, no pomegranate.
I'm not trying to disagree with you; I'm trying to understand what exactly it is you're saying.
There's no thread that I've found that explains the nuances of Shadow Partner, so all I have to go on is Dusk's thread that simply says: "Notes: Deals damage based on a multiplier of your total damage."
So if you want someone to understand something, you may want to try actually explaining it.
Believe me, I'm listening. However, if someone doesn't understand something, repeating yourself near verbatim isn't gonna help.
All you had to do was show me a complete formula or point me somewhere that explains how Shadow Partner works.
As for Blast's additional minimum critical, wrong is wrong.
Seriously, can't you just say "oh, I didn't know that" instead of trying to justify it with "it doesn't make a difference"?
Meanwhile, I still have no clue how you arrived at the multiplier you did.
Even not counting the minimum critical, it'd be:
(1.5 + 1.2) / 2 = 1.35
1.35 * .57 + 1 * .43 = 1.1995
I have no honest idea how you'd get 1.182.
Actually, the way shadow partner works, it'll make this:
Damage from total -> 50%. That 50% x200% will become 100%, making Shadow partner effectively hit the same as you do.
There's proof ingame right now, too. With advanced star mastery, avenger gets an increase of 25% damage, right? Well, the shadow partner hits with avenger turn out to be... 62.5% out of your total damage, already increased by that 25%.
That means you hit 125% from the total, plus a 62.5% from shadow partner OFF THAT 125%, adding to a total of 203.125, out of the normal 150% it'd be. Only on avenger, Drain, and the skills it affects.
With the x2 damage thing, what's going on is that you effectively hit 200% out of the normal attacks, only to make that become 100%
out of that on your SP. That means you hit 200%, your shadow partner hits 200% too... Making it a total of 400% out of the original 150% with shadow partner... In fact, adding that to avenger makes Shadow partner hit MORE than you. Now add more buffs as needed, to make shadow partner hit more than you everywhere.
