Help me count damage :D

[juju]

how much more damage would i make if i used 6blaze 10/10 instead of 30/30crystal sword?

[onderduiker]

got best items i can get to my build atm (not orb?)

got lvl 41blaze (41warmth 41fire wall)

10/10facets in helm 20/20facets in jmod shield and 30/30 from weapon

after bo i got 10195-10374dmg/second

so would i do more damage with 2sorc/3fire + 3blaze (3fire master) 10/10 orb than with 30/30 sword?

So the baseline is level 42 Blaze and Fire Mastery (+317% Fire Skill Damage), 20 points each in Warmth and Fire Wall (doubling damage), +30% Fire Skill Damage and -30% Enemy Fire Resistance.

Level 42 Blaze and FM (+317%), +60% FSD:

Minimum = [ ( (144*42) - 2400) * 2 * 4.77] * 25 * 3 /256 ~ 10,195
Maximum = [ ( (144*42) - 2336) * 2 * 4.77] * 25 * 3 /256 ~ 10,374

Level 48 Blaze and FM (+359% FSD), +40% FSD:

Minimum = [ ( (144*48) - 2400) * 2 * 4.99] * 25 * 3 /256 ~ 13,192
Maximum = [ ( (144*48) - 2336) * 2 * 4.99] * 25 * 3 /256 ~ 13,379

Assuming Fire Resist 75%, -60% EFR results in the former being multiplied by 0.85 (~8,665-8,817), while -40% results in the latter being multiplied by 0.65 (~8,574-8,696).

Unfortunately, a player only needs Magic Damage Reduced by 24 to completely negate fire damage in the first case, and MDR 31 to do so in the second. Displayed fire damage per second is based on three missiles colliding with and damaging a target 25 times per second, but unlike similar skills the effectiveness of MDR is not reduced against Blaze: the maximum damage done by each collision is only [ ( (144*48) - 2336) * 2 * 4.99]/256, reduced to 17% against players and thus resulting in just 7763/256 or 30 _83/256 fire damage per collision.

its actually funniest public duel char i have ever played

i seriously kill ppl badly with my blaze by just walking around and making invisible firewalls with blaze

but thanks alot mr onderduiker for that

going to try get one blaze orb to my hands for more damage

[onderduiker]

The orb only results in more damage if your opponent has Fire Resist < 72% before any -% Enemy Fire Resistance is applied: at FR > 71%, the socketed weapon's additional -20% EFR results in more damage.

It's unlikely it's common knowledge that Blaze can be countered with modest integer magic damage reduction, and I'm not sure many PvP characters would equip enough by accident.

I seldom use poison because there's a time component involved; I use a hint of ice (e.g. in gems) to add a freezing effect (I only put in one gem [sapphire] since I am only after its effects). I use fire most of the time; lightning I use only in most desperate cases since it has an extremely low minimum damage and an extremely high maximum damage.
