That's awesome! I'll have to check it against what I see at L52 when I get the opportunity (hopefully tonight). I do know that with a 21 mod on my drums (MM battle drums), I'm only seeing 37pt DoT on Fufil's, not 38. But the Chants (frost and flame) look accurate at 56. I'll check the other songs out and provide feedback.

Thanks! I forgot to mention where I came up with the data -- It is all based on the p99 wiki. I wonder if there might be a more accurate source. Also I don't know how rounding is treated in game (the spreadsheet should just round to the nearest integer).

As far as the formula goes, it finds a simple rise/run (remember algebra?) and then its somewhat of a linear equation with level being X and whatever stat being Y. I assume this is how it works? But again the math is just quick and dirty -- some testing is definitely needed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That may be your issue. I believe EQ utilizes floor(x) instead of round(x), or whatever the EQ equivalent is of those 2 matlab functions.

Examples to help make things clear:

floor(32) = round(32) = 32
floor(32.3) = round(32.3) = 32
floor(32.5) = 32, round(23.5) = 33
floor(32.8) = 32, round(32.8) = 33

Basically, until the new integer number is actually obtained through mods/levels, the next lowest is used. You can never "gain" values (damage, healing, +resist) through rounding, but you can "lose" some through the floor conversion (always <1 value lost).

Graphically, it would look like this, with the solid circles indicating inclusive on the lower step bound on the integer mark while the hollow circles indicate exclusive at the upper bound:

Do note that a rounding graph would look similar, but would be translated 0.5 units, so that x=5.5 would yield y=6, etc.
