Assault Core vs Radial - You must see this!

Hi All,

After following this thread and using the provided spreed sheets to calculate the damage of Core vs Radial it looks as if Radial gives a much better damage boost than radial for controllers, at least it does for most of the sets and powers I used it on.

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=290488&page=7

Here are some raw numbers of the ones I used it on:

Control Sets not including the pet:

Fire
Core - 162.705
Radial - 434.80048

Plant
Core - 302.175
Radial - 233.29953

Plant gets a bigger boost with Core only because Carrion is boosted more with Core. Fly trap on the other hand gets a bigger boost from Radial - Core 133.2075, Radial 193.47055.

Now look at the APPs I used it on.

Stone
Core - 117.1575
Radial - 233.29953

Fire
Core - 58.22
Radial - 184.70666

Ice
Core - 142.6425
Radial - 238.99581

Primal
Core - 44.9625
Radial - 132.00678

Here is the Spreed Sheet I used to get the results.

I suggest that anyone thinking of going with Assault Hybrid use the sheet to see which is better for their build and play style.

Psst... you forgot to put an arc value for the AoE powers.

uugghh. fixing that now!

Ok I see I should have used 360 for the radial of HF and BF. Now on the targeted AoE powers nothing is listed on city of data except 'Sphere'. Should they have 360 as well?

Yeah, any spherical attack is a 360-degree cone as far as the formula is concerned.

k thanks

Ok, here is the updated information:

LOL.. no wonder I got crazy numbers for some. It makes it closer but Radial still wins with APPs and Fire. Plant should go Core .

Edit: It's also worth pointing out that fires totals are including BF which most don't use as a damage power.

Without BF the numbers are:
Core - 70.65
Radial - 140.247511

The number I had for Carrion can't be right. I got the number from in game average damage at lvl 50. Mid's has the base at 69.51 and city of data info is 86.775 so the 300+ in game must be wrong.

Changing the value to mids number makes it:
Core - 114.0675
Radial - 132.8955109

Quick question. What about illusion damage?

Haven't figured that one yet. As you see in my sig I have a ill/kin. Going to work on that tomorrow when I'm off work.
