Just level and agony resistance are shared, as far as I know.
Let me comment on this: this is a subtle point. What is the proper time from to measure it over? Maybe there isn’t one and we have to accept that any DPS comparison would be flawed in that it cannot account for intangibles like stun break and we can’t even decide on a good way to “solve the problem”.
And the guy that said “you have to compare over 5s”, well, why not 6s? And what is the actual number of skills? There are a lot of a priori assumptions being tossed around.
I definitely agree, there are nuances that we cannot factor in. My point wasn’t specifically that it had to be compared over 5 seconds, just that the comparison had to be made over equal time frames. You could pick some arbitrary amount of time and it’d be fine as long it was the same measure for both.
You need equivalent time frames don’t you? You can’t compare the number of actions performed over 4 seconds with the number of actions over 5 seconds.
In 5 seconds with the old quickness you’d get 4 seconds of doubled speed, and 1 second of regular speed compared to 5 seconds of 1.5x speed. If you compare that then r=7.5/9, which is a 17% drop.
It’s because Signet of Stone doesn’t give the invulnerability status. It just reduces the damage from physical attacks to 0. Conditions still work normally. When people attack you, their damage pops up as 0, instead of it saying “Invulnerable”
