[Guide] on VIT - DEF - HP (SPOILER)

[Seifer]

I doubt anyone actually fights a DS when there damage output is 3.

I will go and find me a DS, and than solo it and see how close my results match that of Prospers.

Hah, true. I guess it would be more relevant to lower level monsters.

[Prosper]

I love you Seifer ! (in a non-erotic way dont worry)

I mean you read my mind.. all of what you explained earlier is exactly what I wanted to say but was too lazy to put it in words.
;D

[ARTgames]

If only stick online had a skill that took away defences from a monster.

[Seifer]

Just solo'd one. Mine was closer to 7000. Somethings not right here.

[Lingus]

That's a big gap to be explained by a rounding issue, or even inaccuracies in math and/or hit count.

I'm curious what your and Prosper's damage output was.

[Prosper]

it took me 126*63dam to kill it.

Its not impossible that through my mental counting I have made a few errors

so we can say it takes between 7000-8000 dam hehe

[Lingus]

That would be like missing 15 out of 126 hits, or about 12%. That's reasonable. Seems like in order to get a more accurate count you'd have to have several people do it several times. You could then take the average of all their counts, or if there's a pervasive number use that.

[Seifer]

Heres my damage.

Hyperions base damage is 40. I THINK. I have yet to test it on someone with 0 def, but using the def formula my number should be correct. Due to rounding it could be 39, but I'm fairly certain it's 40.

Str, 89.

((1+((89*4)/100))*40)=182.4

So lets say 182 damage per swing.

Took me 38 swings. May have been 39. I may have hit two skeletons instead of the DS twice in a row, I noticed it the 2nd time, but I wasn't sure about the first.

With 38, that puts me at 6916. Even if the base damage is 39 instead of 40, or it was 38 or 39 swings, that number isn't changing much.

[Lingus]

Hmm, yea you're right. At the most, with 40 base damage and 39 hits, you're looking at 7098. Which means Prosper had to have been off on his hit count. His had to have been closer to 112 hits to match up with your number.

Though, if both of your numbers are accurate, it's back to the drawing board.

[Prosper]

Though, if both of your numbers are accurate, it's back to the drawing board.

You sound like Mythbusters hehe.

The satisfaction of knowing none of this makes sense to 80% of the community, perhaps?

Well i think they are doing to for fun. Math/problem solving is fun to sum people But you could use it to plain out an account better. Or it could help you know more about what you need to do to kill something.

But its true non of this is needed to play the game.

[NotoriousM4^]

You guys are all assuming Monsters have HP in the first place, perhaps it is purely based on the amount of damage needed to kill it.
