AR Clicky vs Proc - Page 2

Yep I like as is over all that other bullshit.

I just wish Lock the day of launch would have woken up in a better mood when he docked those 2 extra secs off at the last fucking minute.

I usually refrain from posting game mechanics equations, but I thought I'd share this one:

N(x) = Nerfing (of class x)
W = Whining (of class x)
P = Praise (of class x)
L = Locke's Mood (1-10)

N(x) = (P-W)/L

IFF N(x) < -1 then
W(mode) = N(x), where W(mode) reflects the ability most represented by W

On that particular day for x = Brigands:
W = 27 posts
P = 17 posts
L = 5 [average]

( 17-27 ) / 5 = -2, and -2 < -1, then
W(amazing reflexes) = N(x) = -2

Therefore, a calculated nerf of -2 must be applied towards the mode of W, which is amazing reflexes.

Each morning, I roll a 20-sided die to determine which class gets looked at. Guardians, Furies, Swashbucklers, and Illusionists are not listed on the die, so I only apply it to them on leap days.

I KNEW IT!

Maybe if they upgrade ancient teachings finally we'll get the two seconds back.

I figured it was because I switched my main to my Brigand

Locke's real equation is pretty simple:

If Phov = "Whatever class"
Nerf Class
End If

...if you doubt that, look at Paladin LOL

(I kid Locke, don't flame me again I can't take it anymore

Touche sir, touche. Now excuse me while I go whine and cry me a river.

I thought it was something very similar, but instead of using a d20 he used 5d6. That gives 26 outcomes, so one for each class plus two additional options:

1) Nerf all classes
26) Tell the devs that design zones to make more mobs uncharmable.

The distribution isn't uniform, which would explain the higher proportion of nerfs among certain classes, with bards sharing the center.

Well, that equation looks like the same one they used to determine the drop rate of 1H weapons that would be an upgrade for rogues this whole expansion.

Every time I get to the 3rd floor of EH and Sawtooth isn't up I want to cancel my account and punch someone.

Johnathon · 05-14-2007, 07:51 PM

I was thinkin... what if with the new expansion they gave us enchance AR V 2...

and they added something that increased recast timers or haste during the 7 second proc chance or a DD proc once it goes up....

Something to make AR more... worthwile...
