ELB testing (in General)

This thread is just for data gathered in testing various elb setups...

For this test I'm using a +50 elb and have 300k dex vrs and opponent with 395k dex and no evasion or dbs. The control is a +10 SoD wielding enchanter with 150k dex.

1) PC-00-0C (this indicated the Paladin hit in round 1 but not round 2 or 3, the cleric hit in rounds 1 and 2)
2) 00-0C-00
3) 00-00-00
4) 00-P0-00
5) 00-P0-00
6) P0-00-00
7) 00-00-P0
8) 00-00-0C
9) 00-00-0C
10) PC-00-00
11) 00-PC-00
12) 00-0C-0C
13) 00-00-0C
14) P0-P0-Po (no shot was fired by the cleric as his minion was dead)
15) 00-00-PC
16) 00-0C-0C
17) P0-00-0C
18) 00-00-00
19) 00-P0-00
20) 00-0C-PC

Overall for each
ELB: 13 shots out of 60 ranged rounds
SoD: 14 shots out of 60 ranged rounds (well 59)

Go SoD, maybe the pth and evasion needs some tweaking.
Otherwise the ELB is going the way of the dodo

interesting

who was your opponent?

Shade's char Morgoth Bauglir

testing +102 elb (and +10 SoD w/150k dex) with about 300k dex
opponent is Joyyp, who has either 0 or 1 dex on all his minions after my base EC, no evasion in play.

1) PPCC-PPCC-PPCC (this indicated double hits for both minions in all ranged rounds)
2) PPC-PCC-PP (cleric was dead in round 2...so much for this test)
3) PPC-PPCC-PP (again the cleric was dead)
4) PPCC-PPCC-PP (SAA)
5) PPCC-PCC-PPCC
6) PCC-PCC-PP
7) PCC-PPCC-PP
8) PPC-PPCC-PC
9) PPCC-PPC-P
10) PPCC-PPC-PPC


Not one single solitary triple hit...I'd go on testing but I'm tired of losing to
 this GA monster of a char...

ooo here comes frosting for the cake...

Back to fighting shades char (DX: 399,600), but this time with the +102 elb

1) 00-P0-00
2) P0-0C-P0
3) P- (dead after one shot...DOH)
4) 00-00-P0
5) P- (same as 3)
6) 00-0C-00
7) P0-00-P
8) 00-00-0C
9) 00-00-0C
10) 00-P0-00
11) P0-0C- (the cleric killed him)
12) P0-P-
13) 00-00-00
14) 00-0C-0C
15) 0C-P0-P
16) 00-00-P0
17) PC-P
18) P0-P
19) 00-00-00
20) 00-0C-P0

It seems rather weird that you lose to Shade whereas I always beat him and usually get losses against you, and that is with me also using an axbow, although maybe my new token evasion will make a difference =/

woot, I am being used as a test character :D

Zog that's hardly strange, I always used to have a 'triangle relation' with 2 other characters on cb1 and also in cb2 for a while that I beat one of them and lost to the other. The one I lost to then also lost to the other one which I beat.

Just a matter of strenghts and weaknesses :)

I actually beat shade most of the time, occasional draws, and even more occasional losses.

there is so much randomness in the arena of *TH in ranged, I wonder if I shouldn't be looking at hundreds of fights...

and you never got double hits with anything?

how big is shade's EC btw?

I believe his EC is only base since he's wearing a MgS :p

Never a double hit against shade...I'll be training dex to try and keep up with him, but as you can see I'm fighting a losing battle.

My biggest piece of mystery is how I can miss him at all with a +102 ELB and archery...I should (by my understanding of our documentation) be getting a hit almost every ranged round, and always a hit in round 3. If that has changed I missed it.

found the bug. it was effectively random whether archery would work or not. enjoy your upgraded fight list. :)

Thanks Jon! now I'm off to find a triple hit in all this mess...

My Ethereal Chains indeed is base.

Thanks novice for allowing me to help in finding a bug in archery :)
