The Question Thread

  1. multi attack and EAC works only on primary attacks
  2. Discordance in this recent patch switches mana cost and cooldown ONLY not multi, dmg and EAC
    (this is based on tests tho as no devs or admins confirm these changes)

Oh okay. Iā€™m not so sure the dmg stays the same, seem lower.

Do you also know how %ed works out in arena? A 1k ed stat gives me higher powerstat in arena than when switching it for a %ed affix. Tried this with various setups stat setups. Ed gives More power in every setup I tried. Itā€™s really confusing, because I donā€™t know whether to use 5x %ed or not. IF they really are as weak as the power stat shows, I might aswell fill those slots with better affixes.

It does. both 1k ed and ed% affects your power in arena. I suggest read ilidan371ā€™s guide about DPS formula

In arena your power stat is scaled down. The item affixes get scaled down as well. This causes the DPS formula to behave very differently.

DPS = (({[BWD * (1+WD%) * (1+WIQ)] + WD} * (1 + ED%)) + ED)*AS

Let A = BWD = Base Weapon Damage
B = 1+WD% = Weapon Damage %
C = 1+WIQ = Weapon Item Quality
D = WD = Weapon Damage +
E = 1+ED% = Elemental Damage %
F = ED = Elemental Damage +
G = AS = Attack Speed

DPS = {ABCE + DE + F} * G

Since Iā€™m too lazy to look for the info and donā€™t know how much the reductions are off the top of my head, Iā€™ll just make a rough estimate. Letā€™s just say your power and all your item affixes gets reduced to 1/5 of their original value. The formula will then be a lot different.

ABCE will be reduced to roughly 1/125 of its original value

DE will be reduced to roughly 1/25 of its original value

F will be reduced to roughly 1/5 of its original value

That is why you are seeing ED better than ED% in arena.

Work +Nadroji Bonus on hireling ?
I mean the 100% rarity enemy bonus.

Ok sry for the question it works :smiley:

I tried arena with and without WD%. My power stayed at same number with both. Does WD% actually do nothing in arena, or is there some hidden power there?

Didnā€™t you notice a dps Increase?

No, none at all.

Edit: the power stat I mean. The weapon in itself shows higher dps, but isnā€™t the power stat suppose to go up aswell?

That makes sense but do your attacks deal higher dps with wd? Ed is generally better though in arena because of it power increase and dps increase is big.

Canā€™t try it atm. Anyway, I was just thinking of leaving all wd% and ed% behind in favor of other affixes because of how little those stats seem to affect things. Unless thereā€™s huge hidden power behind them, which is the annoying thing, that I donā€™t know and the information available is very blurry.

But I will try to just run ED on every piece and wd ƶn weapon, leaving 5x ed% and 1x wp% behind in favor of procs, immunities, defence etc. Weā€™ll see how it works out :slight_smile:

Your Power stat (the one that caps at 299) will not increase via anything.

Nah Iā€™m talking about power in arena. The one that shows health points, dmg taken, dmg healed, power etc.

That stat isnā€™t always an accurate indicator of your strength. Go by trial and error. :smile:

He is correct. This is how I made a successful arena build at the time I was active in arena. Anything that hugely affects dps in arena are wd, ed, ed %, deadly strike, crit chance, coat, elemcrit (thing like blistering for eg), glasscannon, empower, might, sorcery, mythics in general, etc etc. Anything that boosts dps up in campaign also boost dps up in pvp. Ofc, you need to be careful which affixes to add when you keep in mind that arena nerfs the affix to level 20 max roll on lvl20 item. As skaul said, you should trial and error. Trial and error is key

Yeah I guess. Figured ed% are about useless, atleast for my build. I just had a 68k crit with bleed, and I get regular 20k crits with eartshatter procs. This is without all the ed% affixes. Total ed at 6k I think and arena power at 450. Got to top3, but Iā€™m off now.

Newbie needs help, shifusā€¦

  1. How can I check my elemental damage stats? Cant find em.-.

  2. My +WD or +%WD affix on OH weapon, does it increase damage of my MH weaponā€™s skills too? Because I only use my MH to do damageā€¦

Sorry if the questions are answered before, but seems I didnt find them.-.

There isnā€™t a specific ED stat; itā€™s added directly to your DPS.

WD affects the weapon itā€™s on.

Ofcrs my MH is on, sir. Right ON my heroā€™s right hand.
What do you mean? #jb

You can only compute based on the affixes on your gear

  1. My +WD or +%WD affix on OH weapon, does it increase damage of my MH weaponā€™s skills too? Because I only use my MH to do damageā€¦

No. If +WD and %WD are in your OH, they will only affect your OH Skills.
