Starfall numbers? - Blue Tracker

#0 - Feb. 25, 2010, 12:57 a.m.

Q u o t e:
Main shot
Base points 432 -> 562
Coefficient 0.21 -> 0.37

Splash damage
Base points 77 -> 100
Coefficient 0.12 -> 0.13

Most current theorycraft has Main shot (live) at 46% to 50%, with splash at 12%

The theorycrafting community was using number of 23% and 5%, prior to a stealth buff that occured a little over a year ago (late January or early February 2009).

I really hope we don't see the main coefficient fall from 46% (or more) down to 37%.

I suppose it is possible that Starfall benefits from some talents that don't specifically mention it. A 20% boost from WoC, (or 10% from Moonfury and 10% from WoC) would make GC's 21% number at least be in the right ballpark.

I don't know where your theorycrafted numbers come from. That's not the kind of thing we can easily check. The numbers I gave you are the ones from the spell. It's a complex spell though which is why we didn't try to explain the numbers in the patch notes. If it's impossible to math out then you're just going to have to wait until someone can try it on the PTR.

We picked pretty bold numbers after testing several different combinations. The damage should go up a lot.

Try using 37% (up from 4.8%) for the main star and 13% (up from 1.2%) for the AE damage.
