imo you don't really need the if-function, you just have to calculate how often mincrit will be smaller than maxdmg +1. any dmgnumber has the same likelihood to occur, so there should be a fix fraction, that is smaller than maxdmg+1.

p.s. statistics suck

lol are you guys kidding me? Think your puting to much thought into this, or is there a Nobel prize for getting the right formular for this. Just remeber - e=mc²

Isn't it actually e= +/- mc(squared)

Removing the +/- just means you are assuming time only goes forward.

There are a few of us trying to get it the most accurate for wizards to use for TSO efficiency.

I am no math genious but Enuki, Arabel, Stivan, and Saltaf have been and will be great help to get this figured out to the most accurate.

I just got the ball rolling

Our goal is to get it right. So, its a work in progress.

Meh, one of the largest mistakes that I've seen people make (myself included) is the proper weighting that has to occur due to SOE's RNG.

I'll set up tonight and throw my two cents in with everyone else's. Even though nothing good will come of this entire thread unless information is agreed upon and consolidated. Good luck with that.

Just something I have witnessed. And this all could be some coincidence. I keep hearing this "weighting" due to how crits "act".

When I solo on my Defiler (with max melee crits) I notice something I thought was odd. 5/6 hits are for (max damage +1) and the other 1/6 of my swings were above that. And I was quite dissapointed and though maybe it was because it was a healer not a scout/fighter and didn't get some sort of bonus like they do.

This is NOT something I have ever seen on SPELL crits... but it keeps comign up.


So I sat there and did about 500ish hits on a dummy with Ball of Magma, Solar Flare, and Thunderclap. (took mythical off and any other procs that would change my boe/basedamage/etc so I wouldn't get any data that was off from a proc)

I put into a spread sheet = [("max damage" +(1+"crit bonus"))+("max damage"*(1.3+"crit bonus)]/2
to get the average of what should be done... conclusion after 500 hits with all 3.

That formula and the average hit I ACTUALLY got was 2% off (real average hits were 2% higher than formula average).... So maybe with say 10,000 hit test sample it might have been closer..

So if I had used a weighted formula, the weighted formula would have produced and even lower "average" for the formula average and would have been more than 2% off.

Maybe this weighted formula doesn't work for spells? maybe it got changed with TSO? or maybe I am just extremely lucky with 500 hits?
