Dark Age of Camelot

Version 1.65c Test Release Notes

Thursday, August 28, 2003


===================================



NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES


- Many of the items that can be found in Darkness Falls have been reviewed and determined to be weaker than what is appropriate to the level of the item. To correct this problem new items have been created based on the original item design, but with more level appropriate magical bonuses. These new items can be found both available for purchase with seals and dropped from important monsters around the dungeon. The original items will no longer be available for purchase nor will they drop from monsters. Combined with the new items, the Darkness Falls merchants have had their stores reorganized. Due to this reorganization, the Albion merchant imp Daro is no longer necessary and has been removed.

- Melee resistance bonuses on items worn by the Necromancer will now be inherited by the pet.

Plucked from the IGN board:

If this works anything like the spiritmaster pets, this really should concern you.

Let's assume it's a level 50 necro, with fully sc'ed armor and a cleric buffbot with MoA2.

Baseline buff 44 con + 6% (MoA2) = 46.64 (Assume round to 47)
Spec buff 69 con + 6% (MoA2) = 73.14 (Assume round to 73)

Total Con is 120. 4 con = 1% absorb, so you get +30% absorb from 120 con.

Pet absorb is equal to his level, so a level 50 necro will have a lvl44 pet. 44% absorb

+75 con from sc items = 18.75 absorb, round to 19.

From Con buffs: 30%
From Pet Level: 44%
From Necro sc items: 19%
Subtotal = 93% absorb.

Resistances transfer too, so 26% resistance to all melee damage on the 7% unabsorbed damage = 1.82%, round to 2%

Total reduction in damage: 95%

THAT'S INSANE! What genius thought this up?

Too bad that +75 con from SC only adds hits, not absorbtion... it was tested on Pendragon

Plus the 9% absorb buff that deathsight necros get, that makes 102% absorb. Somehow I think that this guy's sums are wrong.

That absorb calculation is way off. I mean way way off. Even the buffs give more than he listed which would mean more than 100% absorb.

From 1.65a Patch Notes:

We are proud to introduce a new free zone expansion to our customers who have Shrouded Isles. Each realm has a new zone available for use by anyone who has Shrouded Isles installed. These zones are targeted for players who are level 35 or higher. The new zones can be reached by either swimming to them or by using one of the new flying creatures routes available from the nearest faction based creature tamer.

as thundercat_pryd said

+con from sc gives hp not absorb

So knock 19% off that total

And as the necro TL described it ... a necro is currently a class that casters drop easy and tanks cant kill. They have no real damage output (except in a long fight) so stop whining and let the patchs get finished. It will all change yet i suspect
