[dev1027] [dev1032] Status Allocation System + Damage Calculation Broken/Unbalanced

[Zephy]

Ah, this is fantastic work. Thanks a lot. One thing is that I've seen with my own informal tests that CON spells do indeed scale with INT and with Elemental Allotment. I brought up the disparity in my own thread:

But it's absolutely great that you've provided some solid data backing up my claims with respect to THM nukes. Your figures on PIE are pretty damning, I'm wondering it extends even into Bio/Dia/Poison, as SE really pushed the influence of PIE on DoT spells.

No empirical data to prove it, but I've felt like DoTs definitely benefit from higher PIE
Also... now, most experiments are purely for entertainment purposes, since the formula's are changing.
For example.... Before the November patch VIT had a much bigger impact on damage taken....
And logging in after the patch, we all saw a serious decrease in our HP
So with each patch, their is a chance any previous experiments will be made irrelevant...

@OP I do commend your efforts and your grasp of the scientific method, especially in regards to having as few variables as possible....
Very nice work....

I can supply some additional data for you (PM me if you want to see the data gathering spreadsheet).

For Conjurer Cures, each 2 points of Mind adds 1 point to cure amount, and each 3 points of Magical Potency adds 1 point to cure amount. No cap that I could discover (and if there is a cap, it is above the MP pool based on Mind).

Just these two value can completely predict cure amounts, and I have been unable to find any other factor.
