    8% to 10% is 25% increase because you're ACC is so low it helps a lot more and impact of ACC diminishes the higher to go. It's the same formula you used, except you used x instead of A2-A1.

    If you use H2/(1-H2) for really high haste, like 98% to 99%, you get a ridiculously high number (9900% increase), which makes sense. If you did 0 to 1% haste, increase is ~1%, which also makes sense.

    Uh 98% to 99% is a 100% increase.. I'm sorry, judging from the two posts you're not very good with numbers (which is fine).

    Wouldn't it be 50%?

    1 / (100 - 98 )
    1/2 * 100 = 50%?

    99 => 100% would be 100%,

    1 / (100 - 99)
    1 * 100 = 100%?

    If you use x / (100 - x), the first 5% is 5 / (100 - 5) = 5/95 = 5.27%, when it would be 5.00%?
    Using x (100 - haste without x), the first 5% is 5 / (100 - 0) = 5/100 = 5.00%.

    Probably been asked before, but for Guillo/Insurg is Heca Harness anywhere close to haub NQ or even above it, or does the lack of atk and soem acc push haub further in most situations?

    Sorry, looked over the scrap paper I used and found my mistake when i simplified.

    I'm sorry, It's an honest mistake? I know it's tough to imagine when you're as ballin as you, but they do happen.

    Maybe if you stopped trying to step all over his PhD in mathematics we wouldn't have this problem.

    Going from 2% delay remaining to 1% delay remaining is doubling your output, x2.0, or 100% increase. Going to 100% haste is an infinite increase.

    Hmm, you're definitely right about that, meaning that equation doesn't work towards the end...

    I don't mind people making mistakes at all and to Red, it wasn't meant as an insult at all but more as a warning: people here will read what other people say and oftentimes take it for truth. But eh, that's just pessimistic me. Im not anywhere near a math PhD, by the way (Economics /).

    Raen, this formula works: ((1/(1-new haste))/((1/(1-old haste)) and then -1 and x100 of course (or do (new-old)/old*100).

    Hmm, guess mine was just a simplified version that worked between certain limits of x (haste). Cheers :O

    IF you want to make fun of people, you can also show them those maths and prove then that Homam zuchetto is better than denali bonnet. I know people laughing at homam zuchetto, that use denali... You also have homam hands beat HQ dusk gloves ( except for very high acc or haste of course). Same for rapparee harness v.s homam Corazza etc..

    Dexterity and Accuracy will do nothing. Your choice is between 2 Strength and 15 Attack. At that point it depends if the 2 Strength will increase fSTR or not. Pretty sure Forager's will win most consistently.

    Crit + War buff situation + Steel Cyclone has a 50% pDif boost, Smilo +1 if you are carrying it anyways.

    The better answer is: you should have used King's Justice.

    Use KJ on DI as WAR/THF @300 TP? <_< wat.

    Also char I'm on now (as you should know) is halfway to T3 assault with 0 nyzul progress lol. I have my sturdy axe but I'm focused more on Perdu than nyzul progress atm.

    Ah, yes, forgot /Thf, particularly DI, the one situation where you don't want to use KJ.

    Smilo +1 powers activate!

    I read SA as 2hr for some reason, had to double check.

    Then the right answer is you should have been meleeing and using Raging Rush or Steel Cyclone @100% <.<

    I like KJ these days any time Berserk is up, even if the damage isn't always the best, if I have a Pld with Atonement, that's a light SC yo, and that's... as they say, phat.
