| As people have asked, here's an example to clarify how the new damroll works. Say you are level 98 and have a damroll of 400. 1) Roll damage: random(random(400)) will give a result between 0 and 400, with an average of 100. E.g. you may first roll random(400) = 350 (lucky you) and then random(350) = 300 (lucky again). 2) Apply soft-cap. For level 98 it's at 232. Excess damage is divided by 3 so you will deal an additional 232 + (300-232)/3 = 254 damage. So, if your damroll is below the softcap, your actual roll will never exceed it, so your average damage will increase at a rate of 1 : 4 (+1 damage for every 4 damroll). Once you exceed the softcap, this rate will slowly drop. At 400 damroll the ratio is about 1 : 5 (meaning 405 damroll will, on average, deal 1 more damage than 400 damroll). Hope that helps to clarify it. |
