New to Blu and have a few questions... (can't find answers)

Woah woah woah. You have the nerve to get on SE's own website and bash them?! I'll have you know you're the most elitist one out of the bunch. SE is a great company. SE does lots of good stuff. I enjoy their product. In particular, their assortment of mythic weapons. I especially like that Ryunohige they made.

Please show me the math that proves that Ryunohiges exist.

Ryunohige formula: (30000*100/3 + 50/50) - 150000/100000 = 15%.

so because we can prove the equation works vs monsters with known stats, the fact there are monsters without known stats or at least lack of free information of known stats the equation is now inaccurate... christ do you listen to yourself before posting?

also given known factors you can easily derive a mob's stats, probably one of the better ways is ranged attacks considering their consistency.

What is this "+" symbol you keep using?

I think you're expected to prove that math exists first.

"Less than"

Please excuse me a moment while I locate someone who can explain what floor means in that equation. As well as help me find the information I require about the LWNM.

floor is basically rounding down to the nearest whole number, in other words truncating the decimals. floor(1.99) =1

ps: google too hard for you?

I find it especially amusing how Trisscar keeps bringing up percentage values that are....just wow. 1293~>1729=74% increase! huh?!? 1mil~>5mil is 20% increase! wut?!?! Best part.....What is floor? What is a? b? Oh god, I can't breath...going to pass out from laughing too much.

On a serious note, I have to ask this: What is your highest completed education level that you are arguing against known mathematical equation and variable usage? Honestly, I thought they started teaching this sort of thing as early as 7th or 8th grade. Unless...of course...you were one of those people that said "I'll never need this in life." I would hope you know what PEMDAS means...it'll help you with those long equation strings so you do the proper steps in correct order.

All of your questions about how the equation works, what Floor is, what represents 'a' and 'b' (pst, tells you at WSC) is explained through various source links (something BGwiki requires for all articles to remain published, similar to news reports, biographies, scientific theory....). It tells you in divided articles how to work the different functions of the equation into the final equation to gain projected WS damage.

And for the record 20% of 1mil is 200,000 (thus a 20% mark up is 1.2mil, not 5mil). 5mil is an ~500% mark up, and honestly not something new with NQ to HQ price difference. I can remember when the difference between a NQ and HQ was about 10-15mil, but the economy was inflated at the time also. The difference between 1293 and 1729 is actually ~25% increase rounded (you confused 1293/1729=.7478..... when that only shows that 1293 is ~75% of 1729). The flaws in your math speak louder than anything else you say trying to disprove that swapping gear increases overall damage output and performance.

Do yourself a favor and stop. Take a deep breath, drink some tea, and read over the information people are linking you to. When you just glance over it then blow steam in a slew of mathematically incorrect information you only harm yourself.

PS: Before you can attack it, ~ means approximately by the context I am using it in.

PPS: Also, if I thought it would help I would link you to studio gobli, but given the lack of patience in reading articles and source material via prior bgwiki links I hardly doubt you'll have the patience to look over a JP based web site to gather the necessary information to meet your burden of proof. Not to mention there has been various discussions on the BG forums about projected VWNM stats based off collected data. Burden of Proof is not something you toss out just because you don't have the patience to look it up yourself, it is something you use when there is no information found via available search methods to prove a statement.
