15% Tandem on TSO Robe?

Maltorius_Oasis · 07-06-2009, 11:20 PM

Does anyone use the TSO Robe? I parsed it and see little to no difference in damage. Over a few parses with about 50 dynamisms each, with robe is about 1220 average and 1165 without.

cuz its based on your basedmg.. max basedmg is 100

I wish that was the case. I think I am sitting at about 60% base damage IF all my proc gear is going off at the same time.

did you count: troub, sk, TSO aa, VM with that ?

Yes, I was solo mashing my beam hotkey on the training dummy. I'll do some more with it today.

I have the TSO robe and the 15% base isn't being added to the dmg its pretty easy to see that when you put on the robe and it doesnt increase the dmg of Synergism at all...

Verfied that its not showing any increase of dmg on inspect when equipping the TSO robe.

Equipping and unequipping robe doesn't cancel it such as if you take off equipment to lose the 6 set bonus that also is applied to tandem.

First test w/out robe:
6 Set Tandem M1 Bonus
No Base Dmg Proc Gear
Total Base Dmg: 32
Mental Focus: 5
Volatile Magic: 15
TSO Set pieces: 10
Void Ring: 2

Beam Cast 304 times
Dynamism Proc'd 114 times, 100% crits
Min Dmg: 1014
Avg Dmg: 1159.83
Max Dmg: 1355

With Robe (wearing all 7 TSO pieces)
No Base Dmg Proc Gear
Total Base Dmg: Supposedly 47 with BP (32 + 15%)

Beam Cast 304 times
Dynamism Proc'd 92 times, 100% crits
Min Dmg: 1011
Avg Dmg: 1167.20
Max Dmg: 1357

I don't know exactly how base dmg is factored in, but I presume it is factored in before crit modifier is applied. If that is the case the 15% increase to our tandem proc SHOULD show at the minimum an increase in the minimum dmg it procs for. Max dmg + 1 * crit mod, no?

Obviously if it proc'd for less as a minimum with the robe on, the Robe bonus to tandem is not being applied at all because you should see a 15% increase there.

Now for the avatar killing Illusionists... this isn't a big deal because generally you have access to neutral/evil robes which are superior to the TSO set.

The general populace as a whole probably won't see their TSO robes until next expansion so the crowd to see this robe as endgame for them now is particularly small but it is a problem that obviously needs fixing.

I've sent a bug report, but I doubt SoE will acknowledge it.

brandmere · 07-25-2009, 11:02 AM

were you testing it with the 6 set on as well? i wouldnt be surprised if its causing problems trying to add damage twice to the same spell with one equipment set, just a guess though

Tandem Question

If two illys put tandem on a person, does it stack? Sorry if this is a noob question.

Tks
