| Mar 24, 2020 at 6:05 | comment | added | Brandon Olson | Since my previous comment, I was able to do more research on my own. There is a minimum value for the actual damage reduction of 1% to fix the previously-mentioned math error. I would also agree with Joachim's remark about tracking algorithms (for such an accurate weapon, moving slightly out of the way would easily result in a low hit %), and add that a combination of that plus range modifiers (depending on the range of the test) plus difficulty level modifiers may indicate that my theory about an automatic weapon with 6 shots per second is actually correct. | |

| Jan 7, 2020 at 0:45 | comment | added | Brandon Olson | The damage equation (for energy damage) is finalDamage=paperDamage*(paperDamage*0.15/energyResistance)^0.365. If energyResistance ever goes to zero, then you're dividing by zero, which a computer either reads as "undefined" or "infinite". And I was referring to the high-level character, not the new one. | |
| Jan 7, 2020 at 0:28 | comment | added | Joachim | The second character did not have AA3 or LW2: she was a completely new character. And what math breaks when wearing nothing? | |
| Jan 6, 2020 at 23:10 | comment | added | Brandon Olson | The math unfortunately breaks when wearing nothing, as your ER is technically 0 and therefore the fraction and damage go infinite, unless there's a minimum I don't know about. | |
| Jan 6, 2020 at 23:10 | comment | added | Brandon Olson | I can't thank you enough for the amount of testing you've gone through for this. Based on the numbers you got with the Military Fatigues and Green Rag Cap, the damage over four seconds is between 263 and 651 damage, so I'd assume closer to 651, which is inconsistent with the damage taken while wearing no armor on the new character. I'm also not sure if this is your character with Astoundingly Awesome 3 and Lone Wanderer 2 in play or not, which might make up the difference. | |

| Jan 6, 2020 at 7:50 | comment | added | Brandon Olson | If it's an "automatic" weapon with a damage per shot of 100 and 6 shots per second over four seconds, the way to confirm it would be to wear Ballistic Weave V Military Fatigues and a Ballistic Weave V Green Rag Hat, then take the full blast. In total, you should take ~888 damage. If it's more like 850, one of the "shots" missed (each "shot" would deal ~37 damage). I'd test this, but I don't have a character at a high-enough level for that. | |
| Jan 6, 2020 at 7:27 | comment | added | Brandon Olson | If that's true, and it's certainly checked as "automatic", then the question becomes how many individual "hits" per second does it cause that are each individually counted in the damage formula. Is it possible that it deals 6 "hits" per second, and the charge time is just the delay from the activation to the first "shot" from the laser? Each hit would be damage 100 in that case. | |
| Jan 5, 2020 at 18:08 | comment | added | Joachim | I wonder if it the raw damage is maybe 2400, 600 per second, charging from 100 to 600 in 15 seconds. That might at least be a good hypothesis to start from. | |
| Jan 5, 2020 at 16:38 | comment | added | Brandon Olson | That is far more information than I was able to find, thank you. When I work the math on what the base damage value for that much final damage is I'll put it in the comments here. And thank you for not simply saying "100", that doesn't feel like a 100 Energy Damage attack. | |
