[quote who="transitive" reply="20" id="2284622"]i don't mean to demean you at all, its good work. but i think its fair to question the methodology. i tend to do my analysis slightly differently. your methodology was generally treating all damage as smooth continuous functions, which is close enough to get some good numbers from. but i don't like to do it this way just because the set isn't continuous, its really composed of lots of discreet "chunks" of damage. each one of these ch

Custom Games in Demigod Demigod Forums

Is it just my impression that the amount of bitching in custom games is far greater than in skirmish or pantheon games? I seldomly play custom games but just now I had a QoT team member that constantly cursed our Oak because he didn't shield his ass. I read stories of foul mouthed know-it-alls all the time here, but since I never met mates like this I thought you were exagerating. :) And now, first custom game since weeks and I get my first I'm-3-levels-below-y

[quote who="transitive" reply="18" id="2284502"]as much as i appreciate the hard work you've done, and the certain pieces of useful information that have come out of it (such as DPS contribution of shoulder upgrades on a single target), i don't at all think the comparisons of total DPS in your analysis are especially useful due to certain oversights.

Reply to DPS number crunching: Rook vs. Unclean Beast (excel heavy) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

If you restrict the calculations to passive skills then armor doesn't matter that much. Both DGs have comparable armor/health stats and are roughly equivalent. Items can be bought by both, so they don't matter. Only when including non-mitigated skills you have to factor armor in. And I just calculated the effect of 3 spits over 21 seconds and the effect of 2 wraths over 20 seconds. I forgot that wrath has a 15 second cooldown, though, so the dps will tip a bit into spit

Reply to Exploiting Sedna Bugs for a long life in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I reported it as a bug months ago. Got zero reaction in the problem report forum so I posted it here. Once everyone notices that Sedna is unkillable people might scream loud enough to prompt a reaction. Btw. to fix that error you need to expend about 1 minute of work. Someone paypal GPG 2 dollars so they an afford to pay the manhour expenses. Plus tip&taxes. And yes, the "bug" is still part of demigod with 1.1 patch.

[quote who="transitive" reply="13" id="2284314"]uh...what would happen if you factored in Spit instead of Bestial Wrath. Wrath is like 100% useless and requires some absurdly high base weapon damage to outperform spit. last time i crunched numbers comparing those two skills i found that it takes something like 450 base weapon DPS (thats per second, not per swing) for Wrath to be better. in other words its not even close until you're already like level 18 with Ashkandor. skill is al

[quote who="Seanner27" reply="5" id="2283871"]Rook doesn't need melee for his damage. He can run around behind towers and still tear things up with a trebuchet. The fact that he also does high melee damage is sort of after the fact. Not that he has the speed to kite forever, but if we are going to number crunch this out then you have to factor in armor and health of both, along with the fact that abilities (hammer slam) are unmitigated by armor. I bet all my money on r

[quote who="regabond" reply="2" id="2283832"]Well one thing that this doesn't take into effect is armor. I'm not sure if Acclimation is effected by armor though. But as a combat Rook I have never done more than 500 actual damage to any player late game even if stats say I do 600-800 dmg. Armor is too big of a factor by then.[/quote] That's right, I totally forgot armor. Looks like there's no chance of triggering acclimation with standard attacks after all. Unless we co

So, who is the melee master? And what matters most - attack rate or weapon damage? I crunched some numbers and came to the conclusion, that IT DEPENDS. But see for yourself.

Reply to bad/funny teamate strats you've been stuck with? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I once had a game with an inexperienced Sedna player. We lost the game partly because of him buying priests early. Nothing new, so I told him that doing so is not exactly a winning strategy. To my surprise he apologized for letting me down and admitted not knowing Sedna inside out yet. This was proof for me that he was a noob. Experienced players might play as bad as him, but they usually give you the STFU routine when you dare criticize their stellar performance. :)

I don't have any experience with Blade of the Serpent. But from the description it looks like you have to be in active combat to get your mana while you can activate EoM whenever you need. I don't know what else to say when I state that you barely ever run out of mana when giving UB the EoM. I initially thought that advantage was awesome enough. I played UB with Spit, Foul Grasp and Ooze ... and later I even add Beastial wrath. And I don't feel a pressing need to buy a helmet, w

Reply to Unclean Beast - Best Favor Item: Essence of Magic ! in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

yeah, the benefit of that thing is hard to sell. but bottom line is that you simply don't run out of mana most of the time. 45 seconds sound like much but it isn't, because unless you are constantly spamming spells a 45 second intervall is quite sufficient for a spit/ooze playstyle to greatly extend your staying power. And what most people forget is that EoM enables you to use skills even when out of mana. And it simply doesn't matter how much mana you need. EoM works
