THE 101.5% = ACCMODS AccMods = the power's inherent Accuracy × (1.0 + the power's Accuracy Enhancements + all global Set Accuracy bonuses) USUALLY A POWER'S INHERENT ACCURACY IS BETWEEN 80% TO 120% NOT SURE WHAT THE TOTAL OF POWER'S ACCURACY ENHANCEMENTS ARE WHICH ARE BEING USED. THE GLOBAL SET ACCURACY BONUSES ARE FOUND UNDER THE 'ADVANCED TAB' IN MIDS. ONCE THIS 101.5% ACCMOD VALUE IS FOUND, IT NEEDS TO BE PLUGGED INTO THIS FORMULA: HitChance = Clamp( AccMods × Clamp( BaseHitChance + ToHitMods – DefMods ) ) IF THE 'HIT CHANCE' IS OVER OR EQUAL TO 95%, THEN THAT IS THE BEST YOU CAN GET. EXAMPLE: ACCMOD = 101.5% BASEHITCHANCE = 48% (48% IS THE CHOSEN +3 LEVEL IN MIDS) TOHITMODS = (GLOBAL TOHIT FROM POWERS + PROCS IS FOUND UNDER 'ADVANCED TAB' IN MIDS) LETS SAY ITS = 50% DEFMODS = LETS SAY YOU HAVE NO -DEF POWERS TO APPLY ON THE ENEMY... SO = 0% HitChance = Clamp( AccMods × Clamp( BaseHitChance + ToHitMods – DefMods ) ) = 101.5% * (48% + 50% +0%) =1.015 *(0 .98) = 1.015 * (0.95) SINCE THIS PART IS CLAMPED. = 0.96425 = 0.95 SINCE HITCHANCE IS CLAMPED = 95% AT +3 LEVEL IF YOU HAD LESS THAN AROUND 50% GLOBAL TOHIT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS THAN 95% HOPE IT HELPS.

SORRY, IT WORKS DIFFERENTLY THAN THAT.

LIKE THE IDEA. REMINDS ME OF MARIOCART.

START HERE... Attack Mechanics - Paragon Wiki Archive BASE HIT CHANCE IS WHAT IS NEEDED. THE 'COMBAT ATTRIBUTES' IN GAME THING ONLY SHOWS AS IF YOU ARE FIGHTING +0 ENEMIES. SUGGEST APPROX. 220-250 ACC PER POWER MINIMUM, WHICH INCLUDES AND MEANS ABOUT 50 GLOBAL ACC SET-BONUSES, AND YET YOU STILL NEED ABOUT 50 TO-HIT, IF YOU LIKE END-GAME PLAY AT +3 OR MORE. THAT WOULD GIVE YOU 95%ISH IN MOST ALL GAME CONTENT IF AND ONLY IF YOU CHOOSE SOME INCARNATES... EXCEPTION IS SOME LABRYNTH STUFF ABOVE +5. BASICALLY, YOU CANNOT GET ENOUGH.

THE OTHER THING... STARTING A 1-STAR HARD (WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE +1/8 NOTERIETY)... AT LEADER SETTINGS OF +3/8... IS QUITE DIFFERENT THAN WITH THE LEADER BEING AT +0/8. BUT, I SAY THIS FROM A 96% PERSPECTIVE. MAYBE A BUG, MAYBE NOT. ABOVE IN THE CONTEXT OF SPAWN SIZE... NO IDEA. BEEN AWHILE SINCE I LEAD THESE SO DONNO FOR SURE. WHEN NOT LEADING, IN A TF OR SF, ONE ONLY SEES THEIR OWN NOTERIETY, NOT WHAT THE TF/SF IS SET AT. MY OBSERVATIONS... YMMV.

WELL, FINALLY WE AGREE ON SOMETHING. THIS IS IF THE NOTERIETY SETTINGS WORK THE WAY YOU THINK THEY DO ON THE TF/SF's... WHICH SEEMS IN OPPOSITION OF THE WIKI. WHY WOULD ME BEING A 96%er CARE ABOUT THIS?

I JUST LIKE TO PLAY AND HAVE FUN. YALL FIGURE OR HAVE ALREADY FIGURED IT OUT.

IF SPAWN SCALES WITH TEAM SIZE?... LIKE THE WIKI? NOT SURE WHAT YOUR ANGLE IS, MAYBE MISUNDERSTANDING YOUR POSITION.

IT IS AS ITS ALWAYS BEEN... IF YOU START WITH 8 AT WHATEVER NOTERIETY SETTINGS... IT WILL REMAIN AS SUCH, UNLESS THEY QUIT THE TF. SORRY MY MISTAKE, SHOULD HAVE SAID LOG-OFF.

WHATEVER THE CASE, THE GAME FOR SURE DOES NOT SCALE DOWN SPAWN OR DIFF SETTINGS UNLESS DOING THE LOG-OFF TRICK. SO, THE ONLY WAY TO RUN A TRUE TEAM OF 8 TF AT +4/8 SETTINGS WITH 4 PEEPS TO ENSURE MAX DIFF. WOULD BE TO ADVERT FOR 8 FOLKS AND KICK THEM OFF... DOWN TO TEAM SIZE OF 4. NOT 100% SURE OF ANY OF THIS... THAT IS WHY I TURN TO THE BOARDS.

GAME GIVES OUT "EVERYONE GETS A TROPHY" BADGES FOR BEING A PARTICULAR ARCHETYPE... IF THE SPAWN SIZE FOR A TEAM OF FOUR RUNNING CONTENT AT +4/8 IS THE SAME SPAWN SIZE AND DIFFICULTY AS AN EITEAM OF EIGHT RUNNING THE SAME SETTINGS... THEN WHY NOT. THE GAME DEVS ARE ADULTS AND AS SUCH BELIEVE THEY CAN CHOOSE AND/OR WALK AWAY FROM WHATEVER THEY WANT. WHY WOULD 96% OF THE PLAYER BASE THAT DOES NOT SOLO TFS CARE ABOUT THIS?... GOOD QUESTION.

NOTERIETY SETTINGS DO HAVE AN IMPACT ON HARD MODE CONTENT... WHETHER THIS IS A BUG OR NOT, DONNO. NOT SURE ABOUT SPAWN SIZE, (BEEN AWHILE) BUT LEADER RUNNING SAY A 1* HM TF AT NOTERIETY +3 SETTINGS MAKES A DIFFERENCE. WOULD GUESS THE OTHER WAY AROUND AS WELL.

MAYBE, BUT HOW WOULD YOU KNOW UNLESS YOU RAN THE SAME TF WITH MORE FOLKS? ARE THERE 16 OR 17 STANDING THERE?

IF THIS IS STILL VALID, WHEN RUNNING A TF, ENEMY SPAWN SIZE DIFFERS WITH THE # OF FOLKS ON A TEAM... SO THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD NEED CHANGING, I GUESS? HOW BIG OF A DEAL IS IT? https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Task_Force From the wiki: As of 2008-03-05 Task Forces will always spawn according to the number of members associated with the team, no matter if they are online or not. If 4 people start the Synapse Task Force, and one logs out, the groups will still spawn as if there were 4 people on the team. If the person instead quits the task force, then the spawns will scale for 3 people. On a "signature" Task Force, enemies will spawn based on the task force's maximum level (and the leader's notoriety setting) regardless of the team's composition. Therefore Signature Task Forces are usually done by characters at (or above) the top of the level range. The majority of Task Forces are considered signature. A Non-signature Task Force spawns according to the highest level person on the team (and the leader's notoriety setting). These include: Moonfire, Hess, Imperious and all four of the Shadow Shard task forces. In the table below, signature Task Forces are in bold, while non-signature Task Forces are in italics. A "non-signature" strike force spawns according to the highest level person on the team. The Imperious Task Force, Dr. Aeon and Mortimer Kal's Strike Force are the only non-signature strike forces at this time that are accessible for a Villain.

PARROT FOR THE SHOULDER... OR NULL THE GULL.

MAYBE A RE-WORK OF SOME KIND WOULD BE NEEDED IF THIS WAS A THING. INTERESTING IDEA. +1

FUN IN THE WAITING ROOM.

THE REASONABLY PRICED LUNA 'VILLIANS.'

WINTER'S GIFT 3-PIECE SET... BEING THAT IT'S A TYPE OF 'WINTER SET'... WHAT MINIMUM LEVEL DOES IT EXEMPT DOWN TO IF I ATTUNE IT? THE SET-BONUSES ONLY EXEMPT? DOES THE 20% SLOW RESIST PIECE EXEMPT DOWN (ITS A UNIQUE). THANKS. (been using it for years, never was sure).

OK SO... SAME AS BEFORE: 100 DAMAGE ATTACK; 110% DAMAGE ENHANCEMENTS BEFORE ED (95 ISH AFTER ED). NOW ADDING 100% DAMAGE GLOBAL SET-BONUS VALUE... NOW DEBUFFING ENEMY RES OF AN +3AV TO ENEMY MINIMUM VALUE OF -300% (PRETTY MUCH MAXING OUT AT THIS POINT).

I NEVER WORKED OUT ACTUAL DAMAGE NUMBERS BEFORE NOW. ...WAS EXPECTING MORE ACTUAL DAMAGE DEALT IS ALL. THE WIKI LINK ON RES NEEDS TO BE PURGED. LOL.. LIKED IT BETTER WITH THE "NO PURPLE PATCH" IN THE FORMULA AS THE WIKI HAD IT. STILL, DROPPING THE RES ON AN ENEMY HELPS QUITE A BIT. BESIDES, WE HAVE PROCS OR MULTI-PROCS TO HELP US, DAMAGE ENHANCE/SET-BONUSES AND SOME POWERS TO BRING DAMAGE LEVEL BACK UP.

MY MAIN TAKEAWAYS: EXAMPLE ABOVE HAD PLAYER CAST 100% RESDUFF ON ENEMY... PURPLE PATCH MODIFIER NUMBER IS THE MAIN DRIVER, USED TWICE IN FORMULA. RES DOES NOT CASCADE ON ENEMY, WORKS ON BASE NUMBERS WITH EACH APPLICATION. MAYBE WITH DAMAGE SET-BONUSES. LOL.

SO, RAN SOME DAMAGE NUMBERS. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. RESISTABLE DAMAGE TO BE SPECIFIC. USED BOPPERS RES/DEBUFF GUIDE FOR FORMULA. ADDED SOME THINGS FOR REFERENCE. CAREFULL WITH THAT AXE EUGENE. GIVEN CONDITIONS: 100 DAMAGE PER APPLICATION ATTACK (SMASHING) ENEMY = +3 AV OTHER DETAILS SHOWN BELOW.

ONLY IF THE PURPLE PATCH MODIFIER HAPPENS TO BE 1. IF ITS DIFFERENT, ITS NOT 20%. +1
