Nexros Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) http://proc-calc.weebly.com/ The goal of this calculator is to make the math of procs highly accessible. In an effort to reduce the need for "updating" powers, I have left the fields and rates open to experiment with the math. What is best for your build is for you to decide, this just helps inform you. Special credit goes to @Bopper and his excellent guides and detailed breakdown of how the live game functions. Please let me know if there are any errors or change requests in this thread. Hope someone finds this helpful. Edited October 2, 2022 by Nexros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopper Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 There are some bugs and misinformation (the tick rate in toggles don't matter).

Are these abilities being calculated different, or are the "ticks" being remapped to appear as "hit per second"? These are guesses, I really have no idea and no access to the code.

Toggles will only proc once every 10s, and that 10s will be used by the formula.

Chance = PPM x 10s / 60s / (1 + 0.15 x 0.75 x Radius) Hmm, that can't be right and it isn't factoring in activation time. chance per 10s = PPM * ((Activate Period) / (60 * Area Factor)), where the Area Factor has the .15*.75*Radius included. Is my math wrong? Am I misunderstanding "Activate Period" to mean the time required to activate the power, when in fact it's some arbitrary number which is 10? If this is the case, what is the correct interpretation of the chance? Chance per activation (like clicks)? Chance per second? I was reading it as chance per 10s.

Gotcha, so it is BOTH calculated and applied at 10s. Sorry to pester so much, but if this is the case the math turns out the same no matter what you place in "activate time" as long as you consider the application interval to be the same as activate time. This significantly simplifies things -- thanks. Here's my logic on the site thanks to your excellent feedback: function AreaFactor(){ areaFactor = 1 + (0.15 * radius.valueAsNumber ) - (0.011 * radius.valueAsNumber * (360 - arc.valueAsNumber) / 30); return (.25 + (.75 * areaFactor)); } function calculate(){ document.getElementById("probMin").innerHTML = parseFloat(0.05 + 0.015 * ppm.valueAsNumber).toFixed(2); if(type.value === "click"){ rechTime.disabled = false; actTime.disabled = false; radius.disabled = false; arc.disabled = false; result.innerHTML = parseFloat(ppm.valueAsNumber * ((rechTime.valueAsNumber + actTime.valueAsNumber) / (60 * AreaFactor())) * 100).toFixed(2) + "%"; } else { rechTime.disabled = true; rechTime.value = ""; actTime.disabled = true; actTime.value = "10"; if (type.value === "auto"){ radius.disabled = true; radius.value = "0"; arc.disabled = true; arc.value = "0"; } else{ radius.disabled = false; arc.disabled = false; } result.innerHTML = parseFloat(ppm.valueAsNumber * (actTime.valueAsNumber / (60 * AreaFactor())) * 100).toFixed(2) + "%"; } } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopper Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Be careful with what you're doing with arc. If a power is a sphere attack (not a cone), the arc is treated as 360 for the formulas. This would simplify your Area Factor calculation to 1 + 0.15 x Radius (before applying the .75 dampening factor) 1 PPM Information Guide Survivability Tool Interface DoT Procs Guide Time Manipulation Guide Bopper Builds +HP/+Regen Proc Cheat Sheet Super Pack Drop Percentages Recharge Guide Base Empowerment: Temp Powers Bopper's Tools & Formulas Mids' Reborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
