I understand the concept of an enmity cap, but with the ws's that dd's should be spamming every couple seconds, i dont see how a bst pet is going to take hate, cap or not. The damage a pet will take would be from an aoe I would think, but not by taking hate off of people. Maybe im wrong tho, never seen a bst in voidwatch.
Do you not understand the concept of a hard cap? The last entity to cap VE before a mob's attack round/spell/TP move will be the target of that attack if everyone is at capped CE. A 5000 damage WS is just as likely to take hate as a 50 damage hit if both are performed right below VE cap. Player/enemy delays are not going to line up cleanly, so hate will naturally shuffle around between those with maximum hate. BST pets also lose less CE from taking damage given their higher HP.

Not that I was one of the people using profanity, but the "do you guys even have these weapons/jobs" nonsense is disruptive to intelligent discussion and should be an offense.

How does one think that Aymur sucks when it has a 4 min DURATION freaking aftermath that can make both the Pet and the master occassionally attack 2-3 times at a very high rate. Also has a Attck bonus on Pet of Tier 5 and enhances sic and ready which makes your pet even more badass. It also has a high DMG rating for a weapon. Even if you just let your pet do all the solo work, this weapon alone increases your pets DD abilities by ALOT while Guttler doesn't do ***for your pet. (ODD from guttler doesn't work on Pet, correct me if i'm wrong).

With a 4 min freaking duration and a WS boost to the actual WS itself. I don't see what the problem is. Saving up 300%TP for 4 MINS of pet OAT isn't worth it? GTFO with that math ***. 4 mins gives you plenty of time to spam ruinator and still get 300%tp in time for another AM3. This weapon does more for BST(who has crap DD options anyways) then what the other mythics do for their respective DD jobs. (who already have good empyrean and relic options etc.)

Is a BST pet likely to cap CE in the first place, though?

Right, but my job isn't to encourage "intelligent discussion," it's to keep you blokes from crossing the line drawn by forum regulations. Specifically the ones concerning excessive profanity and harassment.

First, you're over by a minute. Second, you seem to have a lot of feelings regarding a weapon and no math.

Like I said, I'm not attempting to defend the use of profanity or any other ad hominem attacks, but if this forum isn't meant to be an outlet for informative discussion, then I think a lot of us are extremely confused.

This one time I got a weapon on the test server and I was quite pleased with the numbers I received from hitting some things compared to the numbers I received when hitting some things with some other thing.

In a VW group that actually takes a BST... maybe.

I'm not going to claim to have your job description on hand, so to speak, but I'd think the proper role of a mod is to maintain or enhance the health of the community they moderate rather than simply police it.

So can any of you mathmaticians run me some math on what Cloudsplitter should look like on Fafnir if I send you a gear set based on 99 stats in PM, just to test how accurate you are?

Elemental weaponskills are the easiest of the bunch to calculate, as long as you know the mob's INT and MDB.

I'll save you some trouble. The final answer to any equation involving Cloudsplitter = Suck. Unless you're brewing with it.

Not that there aren't plenty capable that have participated in this thread alone, but are you seriously this in the dark about the predictable nature of damage in this game?

Since we are all throwing facts around I'd like to see money where the mouth is I'll PM you in a second Austar.

Edit: Let's assume all are done at 100 TP.
Don't forget to include Fencer.

My God, when did I become so entertained by watching Nyght and Minjo absolutely gut everything in threads like this? I honestly think it's the dog with the glasses. I swear that avatar makes me side with Minjo even when I disagree(which isn't very often).
