[dev1080] Thief - Assassin's Charge/feint proposed Adjustments

[Babekeke]

As it stands, I don't believe there is a notable difference between drops from TH7 and
(exaggerating a little) TH100 and SE should address this issue before making changes
that allow easier/quicker TH effect when at the moment stacked TH doesn't appear to
impact drops.

Mocchi already did a test... TH9 vs TH10 to see if it was working correctly. The result was that they got more drops with TH10 than TH9, so it's working as intended. Unfortunately they didn't show us their results, so it could well have been 1000 mobs killed, 500 items with TH9, 501 items with TH10. TH working as it should >.>

On the other hand it could have been 500/550, we just can't be sure.

Well, I guess I stand corrected if that's the case ~ Thanks for the info.

I guess I'll have to do some more detailed testing of my own as well. Drops seem much worse since the TH-effect was added but perhaps that's just my experience with it.

Other people have done testing with larger samples. It's not that much.

How much of an increase would 9 -> 10 have to provide to make it worth the extra time it takes to proc (if you can get it to proc)? I'm guessing that with almost anything that is not a timed or lottery spawn, spending more that a minute or two trying to upgrade (beyond the time it would normally take to kill) is not actually helping.

Whatever it would have to be, it isn't now. I rarely see above TH10 right now, even in abyssea where I have TH8 to start with, because kill speed still gets you more drops than raising TH. Unless it's perhaps a mob like Eccentric Eve where you spent forever farming all the KIs.
