Vigor Ball Formula, keep it lvl 1! ?

[dafeac 0]

So I looked at the vigor ball formula at the page, it says:

 

Lvl 1:  50(+Wp/2 +Min Wand Dmg x 2) - 70 (+Wp +Max Wand Dmg x 2)

 

With my stats:

 

Wp: 475

MinW: 49

MaxW: 55

 

I couldn't get the result I see in my skill while ingame,

 

50(+1048) - 70(+1060)

 

Finally I got the formula right,

 

50+((Wp+MinW)*2) - 70+((Wp+MaxW)*2)

 

So ATM with VB lvl 1,

 

Dmg = 1098 - 1130

 

If VB lvl 10,

 

Dmg = 1278 - 1310

 

 

A total  of 16% increase in dmg, do you think its worth it? 

 

 

BTW - the greater your WP, minW, maxW the lesser the increase

 

 

correct me if i'm wrong please.......

Unless you have a very high weapon power to spirit ratio (by which I pretty much mean a perfect 120 +20 staff with minimum spirit required to equip it), then VB will generally do better than MS. Best cast scenario for MS, they do about equal average damage. MS has a wider possible damage range though. If you have anything but the best weapon and absolute minimum spirit or if you use sheltom forces to add WP, then go with VB.

So I did more math,

 

the % added dmg of taking VB from 1 to 10 depends of your actual sum of WP, MinW, MaxW, the formula treats this tree factors the same way, 1 increase in spirit will add the same amount for 1 increase in 1 in MinW  (BTW: following this, forces do NOT work with VB (haven't test it)).

 

WP  - % of dmg increase of leveling Vb from 1 to 10

 

28    -  84%     

550  -  14%

1000 -  8%

 

 

Another issue is that the tier 5 first skill wont add dmg to VB or any other skill, it is completely useless while solo.

Don't forget that it hits twice, the final damge difference will be bigger for each cast.

 

Also, what would you trade the ~300-400 dmg for? Heal? I rather do 300-400 more dmg than level a useless skill.

 

Besides, it is not like VB lvl 10 drains your mana/stm realy bad, you can cast it for ages without potting.

With reservations for being wrong, I think Divine Force actually does add damage to VB. I'm not sure how or how much, but I do vaguely remember testing it quickly and concluding that it made a difference. Just reset your spirit, use a really weak wand, and try it with L1 VB, and the extra damage from DF should make a visible difference.

Divine force increases the damage of all 1 v 1 skills like a force does, but does not add any damage to any AoE skill [like IM].

Hey I completely forgot the hiting twice thing, so I guess is not that bad after all, good point.

I hope it does, since in the ingame formula the casting of divine force does not change the dmg. I'll try your test.
