Numerical Test Thread : VENOM SHOTGUN CHARGED DAMAGE almost the same as UNCHARGED DAMAGE ???

Posted by pedroelm 01 March 2013 - 06:24 PM

Charged weapon damage is 110% (0.3667 * 3 =1.1) of uncharged weapon damage (measly 10% extra) + ammo_damage 4*0.3667 + 4 * (sum_weapon damage bonuses) ...
EDIT AFTER BUFF charge modifier from 110% to 125%

Basically alot of CPU power used to get almost same damage for charged shots as for uncharged shots ...

what is the point of all those wasted cpu cycles ? and charge time

We have been spoiled - all other chargeable weapons do significantly more damage in chaged mode ..

///////////////////////////////
Venom I 636 base damage no skills ap ammo I

636 * 0.3667 * 0.1 = 23.32212 // ap ammo damage (base d)
1 = sum of weapon damage bonuses (1 for naked char)
636 * 0.3667 = 233.2212 // grenade damage

Example II

Venom II base damage

Calculated according to cyonan table
(((795 - 636) / 9) * (2 - 1)) + 636 =653.666666


Venom II uncharged shots
+40823 ms |Health Damage 898.791687
+2404 ms |Health Damage 898.791687
+2157 ms |Health Damage 898.791687
+5959 ms |Health Damage 898.791687

653.66700 * (1 + 0.275 - 0.15 + 0.25) = 898.792125

charged //Charged shot 3 grenades each doing 0.3667% damage
+10607 ms |Health Damage 1.375000
+1 ms |Health Damage 1.375000
+3 ms |Health Damage 329.586914
+1 ms |Health Damage 1.375000
+1 ms |Health Damage 329.586914
+0 ms |Health Damage 1.375000
+1 ms |Health Damage 329.586914


1 + 0.275 - 0.15 + 0.25 = 1.375 //sum of weapon damage bonuses .. Why apply it as damage ? 4 times ?!
653.667 * 0.3667 * (1 + 0.275 - 0.15 + 0.25) = 329.587072238


EDIT AFTER BUFF TEST (charge modifier from 110% to 125%)

(sum of weapon damage mods =1 Venom I)
