Deciphering Combat Stats on P99

[Tunabros]

how did baler get a trak tooth if he doesn't use discord and raid

[cd288]

This is great stuff btw OP. Would love to get more clarity on AC. I.e. does the soft cap mean both worn/spell and natural AC? Or is that just a soft cap for worn AC and your natural AC will always work fully?

Very nice, thank you for doing this!

I seem to recall back on Live, where I played a ranger, that the equations for max / magic hit numbers for BOWS was essentially the same as presented here, except replace STR with DEX.

What I can't remember is if that was true from the beginning or a later change. Do you have any information on whether that is true on P99?

I'm guessing no one has looked into parsing that because bows aren't a viable source of DPS regardless

Great point, I'd love to see bow parse numbers worked out. How does DEX, STR, bow stats, Trueshot disc, and whatever else affect dps with a bow?

Hi guys,

Hail.

A note for Bards and DEX. In addition to frequency of weapon proc and (allegedly) increasing the rate at which weapon skills increase, DEX also reduces the chances of a Bard's note being 'missed' and ending the song.

This is noted in the Wiki for Bards, where I did a simple 100-song test with and without equipment. As I explained there:

"In a test comparing 100 songs on a 60 bard with 100 base DEX, 7 notes were missed. On geared 167 total DEX, 131 songs before a single note was missed."

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

one of my passion projects over the last few months has been figuring out how combat stats work on P99. Here is the link to my findings:

Meat, thank you so much for providing this to the community. I've been wanting a nerd to provide results like this for ages! Looking forward to any future findings, especially AC tests. If Iksar racial AC at 60 (35ac?) is adding upwards of 7%+ mitigation, that's a pretty significant bump and could really challenge the Ogre is best debates.
