Adding a booster adds 5% to the IO's base value, adding 5 boosters adds 25% to the IO's base value. A level 30 damage IO is 34.8%, a level 30+5 damage IO is 43.5% (34.8*1.25). A level 35 damage IO is 36.7%, +5 is ~45.9%. A level 50 damage IO is 42.4%.

Forbin. I would say that this isn't the way to show your maturity level. But...considering what you are responding to...I can't say that I blame you.

Sometimes you have to speak to them in their own language.


The thing to remember is to use it sparingly so as not to sink to their level.

Huh. That's not how I had them explained to me, and since all I've got is the tiny handful from Vet Rewards, I've never used any, so I have no personal experience. I may actually buy some some day, once I've got a finished build on a character I want to really max out.

Same here. I don't want to waste the ones I have until I have a character I'm ready to use them on.
