I had authored a section in the wiki 1-2 years ago concerning STA to HP conversions (see attached image for my original work).
I recently went to reference it, and noticed that somebody had removed the soft caps from my chart (see the new chart and the post that initiated this change).
I had based my evidence on personal testing, forum research (see this post from Daldaen and this post from Cecily for example), and verifying the conversions via the Magelo profiles on the wiki.
If I'm wrong here, then please provide some real evidence other than some heresay from a few randos.
Some insight from the devs would be great, although I can reference a 2014 post from Daldaen already.
Thanks. |
I'm probably the one who removed your shit on the stamina softcap, but someone may have beaten me to the punch. I don't remember if it had already been fixed when I went to fix it.
The stamina soft cap
doesn't exist on p99, and a part of me will resent you forever for putting that damn table in the wiki.
I rolled my monk with +20 to Strength because of your table. The sole reason I didn't do a full stamina roll was reading your part of the wiki explaining that stamina returns were halved above 115. Imagine my surprise when one day I had a stamina buff (read: over 115) and I was actually paying attention to my health values while swapping around gear. I noticed that taking off gear with some stamina caused my max hp to change more than I expected, considering I was above the 'softcap'. I noted the difference with and without a piece of STA gear, clicked off the buff to drop under 115,, and again compared values with and without the same piece of gear. Guess what, the differences were
equal, and both of them equate to your 'sub-115' values for stamina returns. I've retested this on other characters with the same results. I've had friends and guildmates confirm these results.
If you had done your testing in the actual game, you would have found the same thing, and my monk would have rolled with +20 stamina like a smart one should. Majelo calculates character HP differently from the actual game if it halves HP returns above 115 STA. I really wish people like you didn't do what you do.
