Armor Mechanics #2

Closed where-fore closed 1 year ago

where-fore commented 2 years ago

Current armor formulas are maintained in this calculator.

[ ] Can armor go negative with sufficient debuffs?
[x] Confirm formulas - missing % arpen from buffs like Battle Stance and Mace Specialization
[ ] Armor Values? Formula per level, or mob-type?
[x] How do the flat armor reductions, listed below, apply? Before any armor debuffs - a straight reduction of base armor.

Flat Armor Reductions to test:

[x] Crystal Yield
[ ] Bashguuder
[ ] Annihilator
[ ] Rivenspike

As of 6/24, ver 3.4.0.44301, Armor debuffs are confirmed to stack multiplicatively. Sunder & Faerie Fire & Shattering Throw stack, as well as Sunder & Faerie Fire & Spore Cloud from a hunter sporebat. This was tested by casting Beast Lore on a beast, which reveals its armor.

Last order of business to confirm all our formulas: % arpen buffs Example test: Create 3 states of a character:

No arpen on gear, no % arpen, no buffs or talents at all. Weapon with small damage range, like a Light Crossbow or Worn Mace
Some % arpen, say from Mace Specialization.
Same as state 2, with some arpen on gear.

Produce a raw combat log, length should not need to be longer than a minute, of each of the three states. Record level of character, level of enemy, and which state each log is in, and we should be able to confirm the formulas.

Thanks to YellowTonka, on 7/1, ver 3.4.0.44369, for confirming through Beast Lore the stacking formula for flat armor debuffs. Crystal Yield was found to reduce the base armor, before the multiplicative reduction from Expose Armor.
