Actually those are what I deduced. You are wrong.

These numbers are variables, expressed in terms of damage.

D is not applied evenly on either side, because D is amplified by Rage on one side by Build Up on the other.

Assuming B + C > A + C, adding D would to both sides would hold your statement true. But your set up is incorrect.

You would be best expressing this as:

B + C + xD vs A + C + y*D.

The statement only holds true when x is greater than or equal to y.

Now you need to consider what values x & y truly have. I will use arbitray numbers here so that it may be illustratively demonstrated.

x = 1.95*(damage modifiers*probability of damage modifiers in place)*Rage. 1.95 is the enhancement due to slotting, and Rage is quite self explanatory.

y = 1.95*(damage modifiers*probability of damage modifiers in place)*Rage. Once again, same explanation.

Because the same base, D, is used, the 1.95 and Rage component can be removed in a direct comparison. That leaves the damage modifiers*probability in place.

Once more, arbitrarily, let's say you have 300% recharge, which gives you approximately 10 seconds of uptime and 30 seconds of recharge for build up. Therefore your probability is .333 (10/30). If the damage boost is 80%, then you are left with 0.266, or a 26% enhancement in D.

Now, consider you have ra,ge with 300% recharge, which gives you permanent rage + 66% of the time double stacked rage. You would also have 5/3 rage crashes per 240 seconds. This would leave you with approximately 132% bonus damage for 223 seconds and 0 damage output for 17 seconds.

y > x. Hence, the original logical equation you have written is false, and your justification is flawed.

It is wrong. And quite clearly so (at least to me, and I would assume anyone that has done beyond 10th grade algebra and knows that a variable on either side of the equation must be the same, else you should use a different symbol).

I demonstrated that already. You are not adding an equal number each time you add powers into the equation and hence you cannot be adding D to both side. Therefore your reasoning is flat out wrong.

Again - you may be right with your damage numbers (which I never disputed), but that is by coincidence, not anything to do with your algebraic manipulation which is incorrect.

Unfortunately what you describe isn't the case here. I may be coming in this one too late to read everything completely so I do apologise if that's what is happening. However:

Let's say #2 is correct: B+C > A+C
If you add D to both groups, then what you have written is true.
However, you are not adding D to both groups. You are adding D in unequal amounts to both groups.

B+C+2D may not be greater than A+C+3D

Double Stacked Rage adds more of D to a SS Brute than it does by adding D to a non-SS Brute. This continues to apply for any and every power you add to the mix. The further you go, the more SS gets out of it, because they both have the same base (D) but SS has a higher damage multiplier.

Given the duration of the attack chain, and it will be highly recharge dependant, additional powers shared by the two parties will favour SS.

What's the reasoning for no Cloak of Fear?

Have you EVER been right?

I mean really... EVER?

It just shocks me that out of so many attempts you haven't gotten it right just by pure chance. The odds are surely in your favour that at some stage you will get there.

Best option to save yourself from drains is getting to the soft cap for defence. Unfortunately super stunners will still be a hassle, the rez is auto-hit and the aura seems to hit my SD scrapper frequently enough and she is soft capped too.

It's not like a slower run speed is going to ruin the game for anyone, but the game is about having fun and I don't see how a change such as reducing its speed is that at all.

It's not really odd except when you try to take a classical approach to it. This game bucks that kind of thinking. Inf in this game is almost meaningless. If I lost my entire wealth I could have it back in a week if I was dedicated to it. In fact, it would give me something to strive for so it might just be fun.

It's just for some people easier not to worry about the finer details about what is worth what when the difference of 1 million inf is absolutely meaningless.

I find it funny when someone says something like this. Unless you have some real power to manipulate the market (such as market monopoly) you are just the same as anyone else.

When there are two people vying for a niche it will depend upon the velocity of transactions to see whether or not anything will happen. If the velocity is low, then the willingness to buy will remain constant, but your seller surplus will decrease until it reaches 0. No-one is winning at this point, not Mr/Mrs Experiences Market PVPer because you can't do anything about it. All you can do is find another niche (realistically you should be working 5-10 of them at a time) and let the seller surplus grow again before returning.
