care about greater/smaller than OR EQUAL TO(!)

DerMagus 18 Mar 2012 18:09

I suspect this (and other?) article is lazy with "smaller than 3" too —- should probably smaller than or equal to three. There's a difference, seriously :O.

Got a new result there. Can't really understand why. Maybe because my fire power is greater? Didn't happen at first though. Kinda screws with what's documented on the wiki.

I don't think it conflicts with what we already have documented. Note that your first fire technique got the same message as the first fire technique in GoldS's earlier log, and then you got that new message repeated on all subsequent fire techniques. So using fire against him is doing… something. Maybe more fire power would get different results. Who knows, maybe there's a different drop if you manage to completely overwhelm him with fire.

Spading his reactive defense:

I have low enough stats that I can zero out my perception, so I know exactly how much damage I *should* be doing. Below is shown my (Ranged Power + Base technique power), and how much damage it did.

2  = 1     (0+2)
3  =(1)   (presumably)
4  =(1)

16 = 5     (8+8)
17 = 6     (9+8, 11+6)
18 = 7     (10+8)
19 = 8     (11+8)
20 = 9     (12+8, 14+6)
21 = 10    (13+8)
22 = 10    (12+10, 16+6)
23 = 10    (13+10, 17+6)
24 = 10    (14+10)
25 =(10)   
26 = 10    (16+10)

31 = 15    (21+10)
32 = 16    (26+6)

Looks like 5 Reactive and 6 Ranged Defense?

From the logs posted it looks like Burning Avalanche isn't used unless the figure decides to Stoke the Flames is used in a prior round. I'm curious if anyone has had an encounter where Burning Avalanche was used before/without Stoke the Flames in a prior round.

Gone fishin', be back at dark-thirty!

Theory: "Stoke the Flames" increases the Evasion Power of "Flame Refuge"
