Does this seem right?

I tried to send Castle a PM but his mailbox has reached it's quota. Take a looky at the linky and tell me if this seems right. I know the accuracy modifier is at 80%, but I seem to think that I recall having Flashfire up in the 90% area before. Yes, I am aware of diminishing returns. Still... it just doesn't seem right.

And no, this is not how I slot. I was doing yet another Dom respec and was simply replacing what I had already slotted in this power when I noticed the crap accuracy with what I had.

Thanks for your attention.

That seems to be way too much. Against an even con you're looking at 131% chance to hit from the normal 60% unslotted.

1.75 = X*0.8 (where X is the accuracy slotted)
X = 2.19 Which looks like a 6 slotted with no ED factored in.
EDIT: Actually no, level 50 are not 36%, but more like 42%...

Does the respec screen take ED into account? Did you try going with it live to see if it changed?

EDIT 2: Factoring ED, 6 slotted with 50 would be 118% accuracy. Against a 0.8 modifier it should be looking at 95%. Which seems more feasible.

I'm confused.

My friend, this is a live respec. Errr... on the live server. I backed out of it.

One theory is that the respec screen does not kick in the ED values and sends them through as is. In other words, if you go into the game as it, what values would you be looking at? I figured you backed, was just verifying.

Though they don't add up either way. I must be missing something, it's been a while since I play with these numbers.

I'm no mad numbers guy either. I was wanting Castle to take a looky at it, but his mailbox is full. You guys are always a good backup.

My next question would see how the numbers look on a 1.00 accuracy power. See what final value that gives.

EDIT:
Theory 2:If the final accuracy is 219%, then each IO is 36.5% instead of the expected 42%. 36.5% is the value of a +2 SO. Maybe powers were hard capped at 6xSO way before time.

In other words, what I'm thinking is happening here is:

First) Slotting hard caps at 6 x SO++. (Which does not matter today, since ED kills that way before it's even halfway there)

Second) The respec screen does not apply the ED formula to values, so it's using the full value.

So the real numbers screen is showing the final accuracy with these incorrect numbers.

Don't waste Castle's time with this. Srsly.

Could you elucidate just a tad?

A level 50 Common Accuracy IO gives +42.4% bonus. Six of them would give +254.4% before ED, which is +118.16% after (+95% from the first 100% plus 0.15 times the 154.4 left over). So your Accuracy multiplier from Enhancements is 2.1816.

Your Accuracy multiplier for the whole power is its inherent multiplier times its multiplier from Enhancements. That's 0.8 * 2.1816, or 1.74528.

Everything appears to be working as expected.

Okay thanks. I guess I was imagining my accuracy being higher on that power then. I appreciate the numbers.
