Blooming Brilliant posted:He stared into the Abyss. It's a pity it's so clearly such a huge roll of the dice. Crits are 1.5x damage, so he had to get up to 115 damage and crit to allow that to happen the way it did. His damage range was 58-116, and his crit percentage was like 30%. This is basically the coolest thing but gently caress off if I'm ever gonna be able to do it in my own game.

I believe that crits automatically roll maximum damage and then get the multiplier, so the only tricky part is ensuring the crit itself. As long as you have high enough maximum damage you can exactly estimate how strong a crit will be. 30% is definitely not reliable, but if you savescum it'll probably happen within a handful of tries.

Yeah, I wasn't aware that crits were entitled to maximum damage. That makes this a hell of a lot easier if true. 116 * 1.5 = 174, though, so unless there's some wonky floating point stuff going on that may not be true.

I definitely remember the joys of having a jester crit for less than the crusader is doing normally, or having the occultist "crit" heal for 2.

If crits still rolled for damage you'd get a lot of very weak GR crits. Coolguye posted:Yeah, I wasn't aware that crits were entitled to maximum damage.

Nakar posted:Damage values are not integers (though they are displayed as such) and are only rounded off at the end of all damage calculations, so the actual maximum damage is probably somewhere between 116-117 in a way that rounds up to 175.

By the way, someone looked at it and apparently figured out that single-target heals have a 12% crit chance and multi-target heals have a 5% crit chance. So that is one reason to favor the Vestal's ST heal over her MT, though on the other hand she has a 5% chance to crit heal every member of the party. It also somewhat explains why the Occultist feels like his heal crits more, since he only has a ST heal. I don't think you can raise your crit healing chance, even with generic +Crit boosts.

It also somewhat explains why the Occultist feels like his heal crits more, since he only has a ST heal. Multi-heals roll to crit for each individual, and a 5% chance to crit 4x is a total ~21.5% chance to crit at least one target, vs a 12% chance for a single target heal. Unless you desperately need a lot of healing on one target, or only have 1 or 2 party members that need healing, party heals for the vestal are a more efficient use of a turn than single heals, not just in terms for chances at scoring a crit, but also in terms of total health restored per action.

Are big huge effort posts appreciated here? Too bad. Just found what might be my favorite team comp. Vestal / PD / Hound / (Tank). I've used a Leper and MoW in front, but I feel that a Crusader is probably be the best option. Easiest dungeon runs I've ever had - single target focus, stun, dots, heal, de-stress. Overall damage might be low but you have so many stuns and dots. Dots are so great for comps with lots of healing, as they let you make easy judgement calls. Like, if an enemy is guaranteed to die on it's own, you know you are safe to heal up rather than needing someone to deal that last bit of damage and either rolling low or missing. Then enemy attacks, crits, and someone eats it. Being able to act on perfect information is so invaluable. VESTAL - Judgement / Dazzling Light / Divine Grace / Divine Comfort. PLAGUE DOCTOR* - Plague Grenade / Incision / Battlefield Medicine / Disorienting Blast. HOUND MASTER - Hound's Rush / Hound's Harry / Black Jack / Lick Wounds. CRUSADER - Smite / Zealous Accusation / Stunning Blow / Inspiring Cry. * Most versatile. Build depends on dungeon the team is going into. Switch out Incision and replace with Noxious Blast or Blinding Gas, and swap out Disorienting Blast for something else. Mix to taste. Important Camp Skills: Therapy Dog / Hounds Watch / Stand Tall / Zealous Speech / Leeches / Experimental Vapours. Trinkets: Don't really know yet, ideas? Do you think giving everyone bloodthirst rings is a good idea, or ultimately unnecessary given how much healing the party has? Makaris fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Apr 23, 2016 |

Makaris posted:Trinkets: Don't really know yet, ideas? Do you think giving everyone bloodthirst rings is a good idea, or ultimately unnecessary given how much healing the party has? Good Lord no, you have a Vestal AND three characters with healing skills, that's practically overkill on its own. Your Vestal wants some kind of +Heal that doesn't gently caress with her stuns, I suggest her class Tome, and something that boosts ranged accuracy. The Plague Doc is Blasphemous Vial forever and always and then one of her other class trinkets. If you throw a +Stun on alongside the Vial you can seriously stun enemies up to three turns straight. Dogman gets his Cudgel Weight and Spiked Collar or some other +DMG thing. Crusader is pretty much whatever you want at that point, because everyone else has stuns and healing covered so he really needs to be doing as much damage as possible.

curious is the post-maker's art. his efficacy unwitnessed by anyone ever, at all, in any wayMakaris posted:VESTAL - Judgement / Dazzling Light / Divine Grace / Divine Comfort. the vestal skillset appears to be the default back-row, non-profane-scroll loadout and thus is probably about as uncontroversial as possible. i am however a little alarmed at how you are treating my wife, the plague doctor. once you get a profane vial, aka probably the best trinket in the game, you get a ridiculous bonus to stuns, and she ain't got Blinding Powder, aka "that skill what consistently locks down the two back-row stressers, possibly two turns in a row". maybe you find Disorientating Blast helps out with that by bringing them to the front rows, i dunno? also Incision is a curious choice, i never really rated that skill as anything other than a "finish off front-rank wounded foe in the final stages of the fight" option, in which case i usually use the single-target blight skill so that i have the chance of sneaking in a cheeky heal or buff from another team member. for dogman i would ditch Lick Wounds and probably introduce Guard Dog or Target Whistle for the -Prot, and for the Crusader i'd probably ditch Stunning Blow and replace it with Holy Lance for the inevitable party shuffle that will hit you and vex you. trinketwise i would give vestal +stun and +heal, or alternatively her own head and a -stress item (calming crystal would be great). plague doctor gets blasphemous vial and +speed or -stress. dogman gets either spiked collar or protective collar, and some form of slayer ring - cudgel weight would be good if you want him to be all stun all the time. crusader would get swordsman's crest and probably that common trinket that gives +melee damage in exchange for a pittance of dodge

In time you will know the tragic extent of my posting.Makaris posted:Trinkets: Don't really know yet, ideas? Do you think giving everyone bloodthirst rings is a good idea, or ultimately unnecessary given how much healing the party has? Bloodthirst rings are only for level 0 people going into the dungeon with a more experience party, or for an entire party of low level scrubs who are trying to get more profit out of a run by skimping on food. You should probably focus on damage and stunning trinkets for that party; you don't have much offense at all so you'll need help beating through things, and you have a ton of self healing so if you stun the last dude on the other team you can make up for the extra hit you took from not having defensive trinkets.
