The model we use in this forum is probabilistic only and exactly where the game itself is probabilistic. Tests such as yours are good for checking that model against the game's model, but if you're not doing that I'm not sure what value they provide, especially if you can't explain why you're getting the results you do. (It could be an error in the model, but it could equally just be something you've not described in your loadout or your your testing conditions.)
Everything that happens in the game must be describable in math because that's all the game uses, too. It's calculating stuff similar to how you've seen it done in these very posts, just a lot faster.Quote:
While the math can certainly describe much it doesn't describe everything so a video shows us and an example is needed for that.
Well, that's not going to persuade anybody who understands the damage model unless you explain things like whether the additional 7.2% expected Wdmg plus the 5% DtA is worth more or less than the 8% DOOC. Even if you measure both against exactly the same enemy that ensures all of those proc, i.e. against armour out of cover, the answer will be different depending on the build. So the result you get doesn't automatically extend to anybody else; it's basically useful for you only, and for that build only.Quote:
Trading 12% CHD and 5% Damage to Armour for 8% Damage to Out of Cover -- Even losing 6% CHC to get that 12% CHD back-- doesn't persuade me....
As for losing 6% CHC, that's an artifact of your particular build, not a necessity. 10% from the watch and 15% from weapon mods (the most efficient place to add CHC) you need only 35% CHC from your gear (less if you have CHC on your weapon, such as with an SMG). Getting that from five brand buff slots, five attribute slots and three gear mod slots should be no problem at all. You can do it with just six of the eight attribute/gear mod slots if you don't want to use any of the brand buffs, but that might be considered a slightly pathological build.
Well, in that case you know your damage to armour buff will do nothing, if several other experienced players on this forum are right. (I've not checked myself, but I trust them when they say that Chungas do not proc DtA.)Quote:
So what to do about 70m of armour coming your way(AKA Chunga or Heavy)?
