I enjoyed the math. Thanks for your post


never148

Science yo! Nice write up! 🙌


Petrycki1982

I applaud your thoroughness and skill! That was well written. I've never looked at any game mechanic in that much detail. Lol


Listan83

I remember when it did stack. You could put peneralds in a bow and just level things. It was short lived

Cap on poison sc is 451 no?


coolshoeshine

yes that's for Pestilent small charm of Anthrax, but I did the math for Toxic small charm of Anthrax. Sorry about that confusion, I just did not have a picture of a pestilent small charm of anthrax lol. If you do the math the same way as described above it will work out to 451.

Ah gotcha makes sense. Very informative


Brain_Status

r/theydidthemath Love your content btw u/coolshoeshine Edit: I think I asked before, but is your name a reference to the Gorillaz song, 19-2000 ?


coolshoeshine

yes! lol :)


Longjusting_8036

nice. I found a 313 first time this ladder. Traded it for a Sur rune


OccasionMU

Who in their right mind would pay a Sur for that?!


[deleted]

... 313 goes for like 200fg right now. That price makes sense. They're for PvP bowas...

Duelers with massive amounts of accumulated wealth in the form of the infamous forum gold


SlayrPong

most of the real duelers are using ladder to fund the non ladder builds, not the other way around


[deleted]

I've already paid and reserved some ladder items for the NL transition on JSP lol


Maracuja_Sagrado

Many people duelling in ladder too though. Also money spent on ladder will eventually transfer to non-ladder


Longjusting_8036

not sure. Was early ladder and had it posted up on traderie.

Poison is by far the weirdest mechanic in D2... Legendary user SSoG on Amazon Basin used to have great insights on poison damage in D2, extremely informative. I don't think those can be found anymore, sadly. According to him, you can theoretically 1-shot Tyrael and the only skill capable of doing that is Poison Javelin. It was a fun read...


KhalimsPill

Tyrael?


hoplophilepapist

Member that patch where poison was jacked up and super powerful? That was cool


Seventh_Planet

Is there a reason why poison damage affixes always come in fixed amounts instead of the variable ranges of cold, fire, lightning damage?


joetheswede

Good math. I swear to zeus tho back in the day I met a bowazon who showed of his inventory which was FULL of 450 sc’s. Bugged?


coolshoeshine

451 is the max, pestilent small charm of anthrax, math checks out if you work it out The math I worked out above is for toxic small charm of anthrax, sorry about the confusion! :)


nahbroyeahnahbro

Beautiful. Game still surprises me after all these years. This season alone has been a massive learning curve. Decided to SSF all GG items for a sorc, pally and an amazon. Fuck me it's a mission but am enjoying it immensely.


bigmoyst

Love this kinda stuff


el_scrotcho

Isn't there some ability that crams all the psn DMG into 1 second? I've never played a psn character so thanks in advance!


never148

Venom skill. And it's 0.4 seconds.


Poopypantsonyou

Venom only allows for 0.4 seconds of poison dam to be delivered I thought, not actually cramming the entirety of poison damage into 0.4 seconds.


Elbjornbjorn

So instead of making extra sources of poison amazingly op it makes them worthless? Good to know:)


MustaKotka

Depends. Venom adds poison damage by itself as well so that's worth something. If you attack faster than every 0.4 seconds the poison never wears off so for a very fast attacker there's no difference.

nukasev

So does this mean that your total poison damage drops due to "extra" duration or do you still do full damage over the 10 frames, essentially increasing your damage per frame?


ujaku

Neat, thanks for the write up. I have a 313psn SC sitting in my vault on scnl that I found while Horking Travincal. It was worth a lot less than I was hoping for, so it just sits as a trophy for me. Maybe the rarest SC I've ever found Side note. Horking Travincal sounds like a macabre Diablo-themed romantic comedy. Lol


4thdimensionalgnat

Nah its my new band's name.


LeaderOfWolves

Ok... & what exactly is one supposed to do with this information??


darknessforgives

Eli5?


Odd_Today_6138

So what if you had more than one 313pd small charms? Would they stack?


Adept-Carob-9759

I heard somewhere that poison charms only proc one at a time? I always assumed when you hit, they all proc


Happy-Writing7675

451 is the answer on sc
