I can’t remember how early a player can get into the Battle Arena, but once it becomes available, it is possible for a player to get a level 1 Character with level 2 Equipment into the BA.
this could be a very wrong statement, but a very good player with L1 Character & L2 Gear might have an incredibly miniscule chance to utterly defeat a hopelessly confused player with a L99 Character & L100 Gear.
for some reason, I feel tempted to get one of my PVP Characters to Normal Rank and then work my way up with a level 1 Character with level 1 or 2 gears. just to see what happens.
Just a question.
Does multiple same affix stacks?
Ex for dodge.
Crystal Affix dodge in BA is 8%(if im not mistaken). So can i stack lets say 4 crystal affix to get 32 or more?
Will the same logic work on other affix or MS as well??
Thank you so much for replying.
yes, but they need to be on different Items.
you can have a Crystal Attack Speed and a Mythstone Attack Speed on the same Item, but you put the Mythstone on after you put the Crystal Affix on.
I think the Dodge Cap in BA is 24%, so you would only need 3 Crystal Dodge.
it’s the same concept as getting to +200% Weaken cap with 2 Crystal and 1 Epic Weaken. or 2 Crystal Deadly Strike to get +60% Deadly Strike cap. you just need more to get cap in BA.
So even if i put like dodge ln all of my gears to get past the lowering of affixes to lvl20’s, ill still hit the cap of 24%?
all Caps are are 40% of their values in Battle Arena. 60% caps will be 24% in Battle Arena for example: 60 x 0.4 = 24. so any affixes who’s values go over their PVP Cap will be ignored, just like in PVE.
you could use Epiphany in PVP… hmm, Epiphany (3) in PVP with Dodge Cap 24% gives new Dodge cap of 27.6%: 24 x 1.15 = 27.6… is it worth it???
don’t forget, everyone gets the +10% Dodge that isn’t nerfed by Battle Arena. the Nerf only affects affixes on Items.
Oh okay! Thanks. Good i believed my intuition and not ruin my pvp build. On 1400mmr now, finding it hard to break through 1500🫠
And very last thing.
I dnt have Epiphany. And my calculations on my lets say crit dmg on PVE is 400% but the cap is 350?
So, in BA will the base of my crit dmg be calculated with 400? Or will it be the pve cap?
all Characters start with +10% Dodge, +10% Crit Chance, and +50% Crit Damage. Warriors with Shield OH also start with +10% Block.
the +50% Crit Damage isn’t calculated as part of the Crit Dmg Cap but is added to it for +400% total Crit Damage. the base +50% Crit Damage isn’t affected by Epiphany Set.
the calculation for Crit Damage cap with Epiphany (5) is
350 x 1.25 =
in Battle Arena -
(350 x 0.4 (PVP nerf)) + 50 = max crit damage in PVP.
with Epiphany (3) -
350 x 0.4 x 1.15 = improved crit damage cap.
this is a post where a player really wanted to know what was going on with crit damage.
