Bio Armor tests

[Underfyre]

Starting running some tests on Offensive Adaptation. 25% damage boost baseline is confirmed.

Bonus toxic damage has a little bit of a theme to how much it does, but some abilities break this mold and kinda ruin that theory.

 

Anyway, these are static numbers. I'm going to check with a different offense set and see if I get the same trends.

 

Unlike Molten Embrace, the bonus damage from this set is affected by -res debuffs, so it will play VERY well with Sonic. The bonus is NOT affected by +dmg boosts. Also, unlike Molten Embrace, this is a 100% chance to proc so far.

I wonder if you're going to see that happen again with other summon powers like Blizzard in Ice...

 

Wouldn't surprise me and its not the first time powers behave differently.  Like Sentinel PBAoEs interact with Opportunity meter building differently than other types (and its not for the better either).

This is a fairly ridiculous amount of damage. I need to make a /bio Sentinel....

I mean, if you look at the listed damage per cast cycle for Hail of Bullets it says 5.47, which is basically the average damage it will do on the very first wave after you click it. Since it essentially casts instantly and channels over 3.5 seconds, I think that's why it calculates it that way. It's pretty dumb. So I'm expecting a few abilities like that. I spent a while trying to rationalize the numbers I was getting but didn't get anything that was consistent.

So is Hail of Bullets doing something similar?  Hail of Bullets and Rain of Arrows aren't the same kind of power under the hood.  Rain of Arrows summons a pseudo pet that does the actual combat much like Blizzard and several other powers.  Hail of Bullets isn't like a typical "rain style" power so if its getting minor bonuses to each individual tick of the channel that is an interesting finding.

 

Edit: Looks like the Hail of Bullets damage functions like several of the others.  That's not too surprising giving that it is like a spherical version of Full Auto which gains bonus damage like the other non-summons.

We'll see, I have a few characters built on the beta server so I can start testing right away. I'm Just going to go in Alphabetical order and update the first post with the numbers.

[Underfyre]

So a lot of numbers pop up over and over. 13.2, 25.88, 30.1, 11.74 on PBAEs, 11.86 on TAOEs. Dunno if they're arbitrarily assigned or there's some math involved. Doesn't really matter since I got them all and they're all static.

Stay tuned for the Molten Embrace version.
