Are you telling me that the second $50 is somehow worth less than the first?

Its still $50, but its less meaningful than the first $50. What if you had been given 50 trillion dollars, then someone gave you 50, would you care? Is it still $50? Is its impact felt less now that you already have 50 trillion?

It’s sad you dont get it. Youre like Kanye West in the fish sticks episode of Southpark.

Its impact would be relatively less, but not objectively less. Regardless of where you are getting your DPS from, it’s all the same measure. Diminishing returns in at least a game context means if you had lets say 1000 precision which gave 30% crit (I have no idea if that’s right or not), but 2000 precision gave 50% crit. The second 1000 has diminishing returns because it means less. Crit damage is static because when you get 1%, you get 1% more crit damage. It doesn’t matter if you have 10% crit dam or 100% crit damage, it will always give the same.

At 50% crit and 100% damage, an increase of 4% crit is an average strike damage of 1.54 your base hit.
An increase of 10% crit is 1.55 your base hit.

So the crit damage will do more in this example. As your crit rate goes up, so does the effect crit damage has on your DPS. What wish is trying to say I think is that is that .01 difference in DPS worth a 10% hit in HP?

I’m not an expert on GW2 stats, so I can’t say whether or not wish is right.

An mix of valkyrie and berserker will always have higher DPS than a similar mix of berserker/knight, just like full berserker is more DPS than a mix. Whether or not it is efficient is up for debate.

Transferred at 6pm EST when everything went to Very High. I was on SBI. I hate to go but it is a sinking ship, and has been on a decline for a while now, sad to say.

Looking forward to WvW on the new server. I’m not in a guild on JQ yet but I ran with PRX and SF groups for a while and you could really feel the energy. It was great. People on the server are hungry for victory. I definitely think we will see JQ on top in the coming weeks.

Hope more people join us.

Very high right now. I’m in the same boat as you: I was on SBI, and would have transferred sooner, except for the loyalty I’ve felt for SBI. I’m not in a guild either, but I fought alongside SF and Rage, and really enjoyed it. While I still have some friends on SBI, a lot of people I know have transferred to JQ.

It’s a bit hard because I’ve fought (and killed) so many jq in the past (and may or may not have danced on a few corpses when I 1v3’d or 1v4’d), but having fought with you guys for so long, I have an immesne amount of respect for you guys. I look forward to killing with you all!

I apologize for the chat thing, I forgot about the combat log. That actually would have made this a whole lot easier….

The necro is right next to the minion. I really don’t think it was marks because I didn’t see a red circle and the necro was running back and forth to the castle, not coming past the bridge. Oh well, I know what to do next time this happens (look at the kitten combat log).

Thanks for the assistance!

It’s much farther away than 1400 though. I was more curious if there was some minion that you could get to attack at a long long range

Hi,

I’m not incredibly familiar with Necromancers, but what could cause this? I was being attacked again and again from ranges far exceeding 1200, and was just curious what it could be.

It happened for about 15 minutes, all from the same necromancer who would retreat to the guards upon being attacked.

I thought it was hacking at first, but I decided that I should instead try to figure out what it was.
