    WS formula test

    I was looking at some tests done by a friend of mine for Soil Gorget and Mercy Stroke, and I decided I'd try and use the WS Damage formulae to try and confirm for myself that that Gorget adds .1 to fTP. However, I can't even get the formula to confirm that the amount of damage done is correct. First, the gear setup.

    http://archain.ultimals.com/images/0...ck%20Setup.JPG

    Notice the 999 attack due to Boost (mnk sub), and notice the bare neck (since the point was to compare Gorget to various setups).

    Now, here are a few SS showing the WS cap for this setup:

    http://archain.ultimals.com/images/0...eck%20Peak.JPG

    I can't come up with this number from the formula.

    D = 39 [ Mandau ]
    fSTR = 12 [ Floor(39/9) + 8 ]
    fTP = 3 [ Mercy Stroke ]
    WSC = 64 [ 130 x .6 x .83 ]
    DEX = 111
    pDIF = 3 [ Capped at 3 ]

    So the max WS should be:
    ((39 + 12 + 64) * 3 + 111) * 3

    Which is 1368. Am I missing something somewhere? There's not an offhand weapon, there was no double/triple attack.


    I have a bunch more SS that show the damage done with the gorget so if I can get this formula working I can re-confirm that gorget adds .1 to fTP (how many times has this been confirmed?)

    It's a dagger and you're fighting a bee.

    Haha didn't even think of that. Ok bb in a few after I verify the gorget.

    Edit: Can probably move this to the newbie section btw, my bad.

    I'm amazed and I haven't laughed so hard in so long.. D: I love how you work those numbers though. (Even if it's a bee...)

    I actually sighed and shook my head at this.

    Anyway, can't wait to see... proper results. <_<
