So funny how people are self-proclaimed "amazing gamers" and brag about it over the internet...

Not only that. Brag about beating 'incredibly' hard games, like crash bandicoot

So...the 2 weeks inferno down guy...sup

I know you're a video game expert and all

Quote from wishedhehadbeta

its like playing crash bandacoot/god of war on ultra hard mode all over again.

I wonder if we can buy it for Androids or PCs. I NEED to see this guide.

Playing a monk, running through a dungeon, plowing through normal monsters. Suddenly...

Rare Armaddon

3.400,000 hp (5,100,000 after affix)
170k dmg minimum
fast (+movement, +attack speed, +cast speed)
extra hp (150% hp of original)
electrified (lightning damage on hit)
molten (molten lava underneath for dmg over time, explodes on death)

Let me fix this for you:
"Playing a hardcore monk, running through a dungeon, plowing through normal monsters. Suddenly..."

Dude this left really excited.

Quote from vastling

the skill also affects elemental dmg, but elemental dmg on your off hand is not applied to your main hand swings.

Important note. When you dual wield you gain 15% attack speed, but you don't apply the +dmg of your other weapon when calculating damage.

Now for a wizard using orb you do apply every +dmg on the orb.

You mean a good reference if you want to pay for whatever crap they're selling...

He's not selling anything as far as i know. The site has announcements but the whole site is free and you find some good and useful insights there.
Please refer of judging something you didn't take time to analyze. It makes you look stupid.

Quote from RockmanDoom

Does anyone know how it works?

Say, for simplicity, you have a sword that does 9-10 damage. And you are using a skill that does say, 110% Weapon Damage. So you would be doing 9.9 - 11 damage per swing base on this.

But how does Strength (Or intelligence) factor in. Lets say each point in str. adds 1% damage, butis this adding to the skills base 110% calculation or does it get applied to the damage output after the skill damage is applied.

Basically, would it be 111% weapon damage now? Or 9.9 - 11 damage multiplied by strength bonus? Because the second way would equal a higher out put of damage.

Thoughts?

I can't confirm it, but as far as we know the coefficient from str/dex/int is applied after the base damage +dmg x spell coefficient.
It would look like this:

((Weapon Base Damage + Any extra damage from rings etc) x spell coefficient) x stat coeffcient = damage you deal

You can also calculate dps based on attack speed and crit.

Speed:
Damage you deal x hits per second coefficient = "long term" dps

Crit:
Damage you deal x (crit chance x crit damage increase) = "long term" dps

So with speed and crit you have:
Damage you deal x (crit chance x crit damage increase) x hits per second coefficient = accurate "long term" dps

Quote from Solmyr77

I just can't agree with this statement. Not that playing itself isn't or shouldn't be fun, of course it is/should. But this sounds like theorycrafting isn't supposed to be fun, while the opposite is true.

That's not what he said. Read again.

I think the fun is in playing the game, not working out how to play it.

He didn't say theorycrafting isn't fun. He said that "the fun" is in playing the game, that is, that essentially the core of fun of a video game is the game itself. And he's correct in that.

Quote from Solmyr77

To me, a game that doesn't have this, is rather boring. And not to insult anyone, but such games are made for kids, seriously. They lack a whole dimension of fun.

You are insulting. And you're wrong. Not every game is about, or can have a theorycraft side. That per si doesn't make a game "for kids" at all.
I for one enjoy messing with theorycraft. But also enjoy purely action-oriented games.

Seems like yet another wow addicted trying to bring their addictions as necessary for any game success/quality. Anyone remember the threads about lack of customization? Or lack of WASD movement? Gosh WoW is a disease sometimes. It took the minds of so many fellows.

Picture of a dead gamer. Don't open if you don't want to see.

Please: sleep well, remember to keep drinking water to remain hydrated and eat well (healthy food aswell!). Take care of your health so you can enjoy the game right.

Avoid traps: such as this other post on our very forum. "Team LF 1 elite player"
day1: 24hr playing
day2: 4hr sleep +20hr playing
Don't do this. Don't stay up 24hrs, sleep 4 and play 20 again. That's not elite, that's just dumb as hell

Awesome comics, keep them coming.

Quote from Serilla

That is useful information, but the way it was presented is fairly confusing.

I agree. I could have stated: wizards, try to use slow weapons if you're channeling.
Or i could have said: faster weapons will drain your arcane power way faster than it should while you're channeling due to an inconsistency. Please be aware of it.

Something like that. It's oversimplification but it's true.
