Information you need to know for DAoC

Postby Bael » Sat Feb 15, 2003 4:47 pm

:onfire: Hope you enjoy :onfire:

Stat caps per level (Str, Dex, etc...):
A) 1.5x your level from items (weapons, armor, jewelry, etc...)
B) 1x your level from single-stat buffs (aka baseline buffs, like +Str or +Dex from a Healer or Shaman)
C) 1.5x your level from double-stat buffs (aka spec line buffs, like +Str/Con or +Dex/Qui from a Shaman)
D) Unknown as of yet if there is any caps from Realm Skill stats.

- A, B, C and D all stack together.
- By level 50, A+B+C is capped to a maximum of 350...And D goes on top of that

-------------------------------------
Resistance caps:
- items give a maximum of +26% on any resists at lvl 50 (1 + (your level/2))
- race gives:
Kobolds: 5% crush, 5% energy
Norsemen: 3% slash, 2% crush, 5% cold
Trolls: 3% slash, 2% thrust, 5% matter
Dorfs: 2% slash, 3% thrust, 5% body
- buffs has no known cap.
- realm abilities has no known cap.
-------------------------------------

+Spec caps:
A) +11 from items at lvl 50 (1+lvl/5) (weapons, armor, jewelry, etc...)
B) +10 from Realm Rank

- For a maximum of +21 to a spec (like weapon or shield)
-------------------------------------

Benefits of Stats:
50-200= 1% gain, per 2 points
200-300= 1% gain, per 4 points
300-350= 1% gain, per 5 points

Still not known the actual benefits of Realm Skill +stat gains.
-------------------------------------

Things that affect your chance to-hit something:
- Enchanted bonus on your weapon (and bonus also increases damage contrary to what is said from Sanya)
- Your level vs. their level (the higher their are than you, the harder they'll be to hit)
- The number of people fighting the same opponent - this isn't group dependant.
- Weapons Styles with bonus to-hit
- Str, Dex, Qui...NONE of the base stats have any effect on your chance to-hit (I disagree with the Dex portion of this statement from my own experience)

Things that affect your chance to NOT get hit by something:
- Enchanted bonus on your armor
- Weapon styles with bonus to defense
- Dex affects your chances to Block & Parry
- Dex & Qui affects your chances to Evade
- Your level vs. their level (the lower the level they are to you, the harder it is for them to hit you)
- Armor Factor on your Armor affects the chance to negate a blow (seen as a miss)
- Absorb % on your armor affects how much dmg taken when you do get hit
- AF also decreases the damage taken
-------------------------------------

The Effectiveness of Shields and Shield spec:
A) Shield spec has a base 5% chance to block +0.5% per spec point
B) Enchanted bonus on Shields also affects chance to block (Unsure in what way, maybe A+B, or A+(AxB))

Small shields: (supposedly) can block only 1 target, and has the base chance to block
Medium shields: (supposedly) can block up to 2 targets, and has an extra 5% chance to block vs. Small
Large shields: (supposedly) can block up to 3 targets, and has an extra 5% chance to block vs. medium and 10% vs. small

Shield Sizes:
Round = Small
Kite/Heater = Medium
Tower = Large
-------------------------------------

Effectiveness of Weapon spec:
1 to 2/3rds of level = 25-100% dmg
2/3rds to 100% of level = 75-125% dmg
100%+ = 100-150% dmg

That scale is linear.

Your damage continues to grow if your weapons spec is above your level, but slower.
I believe each weapon spec point above your level adds about 0.66% to your damage.

-------------------------------------

How stats affect weapons:
Axes = 100% Str
Swords = 100% Str
Hammers = 100% Str
Spears = 50/50 Str/Dex
Staffs = 100% Dex

-------------------------------------
Damage Calculation:

Damage = WeapDmg (which is a possibly capped weapon DPS) * Delay * Quality * Condition * (WeapSkill / Target's AF)

Also, there is an interesting formula for the effective AF of a piece of armor:

Effective AF = Listed AF * Quality * (1 + (absorb * quality))

Notice the quality double-dipping which makes it extra important for armor.

-------------------------------------

Weapons/Magic vs. Armor (From Classes of Camelot website):

CrushThrustColdElectric
Cloth-_-_-_--_-_-
Leather-15%-10%_-
Studded/Reinf_-_-10%+5%_+5%
Chain-_-15%-10%_-5%_-10%-10%___+10%

Nice post! I really do wonder if dex affects your chance to hit....From my experience it does. I say this because troll thanes have pretty shitty dex and other tanks such as zerks/warriors seem to miss alot less often than me. Anyone know the truth?
