Hi 👋🏻
I got a lot of questions about DPS and was hoping to get some solid interesting answers.
Currently i am CP 225 so not new to the game, however i do like to understand the game better , especially how damage truly works.
I am using magsorc and have always used apprentice because i heard from 1 person it was the best , however now i realise that thief or shadow are better , and it all comes from the crit chance and damage.
Here are my statistics
- spell damage - 1975
- Spell critical - 36,3%
- Spell penetration - 5400 (8,1%)
- spell critical damage - 52%
- block mitigation - 60%
- Block cost - 1107
Question 1: What is block mitigation?
Question 2: Does block cost of 1107 mean that it will cost me 1107 stamina when blocking an attack ?
Question 3: i understand what spell penetration is about, however what does that 8,1% behind the value mean??? Does that mean with the current value i will have 8,1% more damage due to penetration?
Question 4: i have a spell damage of 1975 . Now i am a bit lost here. If i use a Certain spell like crystal fragments which inflicts 4500 spell damage, what does this 1975 then mean ? Is this extra spell damage for every spell i use ? I guess not
, but how does this spell damage relate to the spell damages of my actual spell skills ??
Question 5: my spell critical is 36%. What seems to be a good critical % in general ?
If i understand correctly this number means that for every spell i cast , i will have a 36% chance of a higher damage right ? Is this only with spells ? Or is this also for light and hard attacks from my destruction staff ? And is the increase 50% of normal damage or does it depend on something else like critical damage ?
Question 6: Spell critical damage is 52% but what does this really mean? Does this mean that if i have a critical Spell strike that my general damage will be 152% total (100+52) from the normal spell damage? Or is critical strike always a specific % higher damage and is this 52% just an extra additional damage ? Is this 52% referring to the normal spell damage of 1975 or will this 52% be calculated on the the spell damage of your specific skills you just used ?
Question 8 : do light and heavy attacks from staffs also have the same spell critical chance ? Or is this only for spells ? Or do staffs have weapon critical chance instead of spell critical chance ?
Question 9: If you have a normal critical strike, is it then correct to say (without looking at other stuff for now) that the damage will be increased with 50 or 100 %?
Question 10: It all began with deciding which mundus stones i should use
. So , when would you generally use apprentice , thief or shadow ? What are the statistics you need to have to use one or the other ?
Thanks a LOT 🙏🏻
