    Extra Nerdy Math Stuff for those that really want to know:
    Fire Skill Power +81.2% adds directly to the 20% already available from the reactor (i.e. this bonus is additive to any bonuses you already have). This is how you end up with the 1.012x that you see in the info screen. This translates to 101.2% skill power boost for Fire Skills
    This 101.2% is multiplied together with all other boosters.
    As an example:
    Base skill power 16,414 is multiplied by 8.1% raw skill power from Spear & Shield, then the 101.2% from Fire Skill Power and then finally the 20% from the Tech Skill Power boost.
    The end result in excel looks something like this:
    16,414*108.1%*201.2%*120%
    This then results in an estimate of the final skill power number, your goal is to make the final skill power number as big as possible with the multipliers on the info screen. That's how the testing works (if you want to figure the math behind the numbers for in-depth calculations)

    From a calculator I found it appears that if you add 1 to your plain skill power, elemental skill power and skill-type power, you can multiply those 3 together and whichever one comes out on top will be the biggest multiplier for your skill power modifier. For instance, without any added mods except your reactor (I'm using the one you have in the video with an increased 0.074 fire boost ratio, note if you didn't have this in reactor, fire specialist would actually be better than fire master), your fire-tech reactor will have a multiplier of
    (1.2 fire + 0.074 reactor bonus)*(1.2 tech)*(1 plain skill power) = 1.5288.
    But if you add fire specialist it will become (1.274+0.812)*(1.2)*(1) = 2.5032.
    Fire master however will have a multiplier of (1.274+0.19)*(1.2)*(1+0.444) = **2.5368192**

    • @RealAsianRobot
      @RealAsianRobot  Місяць тому +3

      Fire Synctium will definitely push the multipliers slightly higher, but the issue is that it is less useful due to taking up a mod slot and improving the 'base'. Base improvement is great but usually you want your base to be good enough and then move on to using the remaining slots for critting.
      Love the math though, and you are indeed correct. I was always using Synctiums until the point where I had to focus on the crits to really reach the higher heights.

    • @w1mark275
      @w1mark275 Місяць тому

      @@RealAsianRobot Yea you are right, however I delved a bit deeper and it seems like there is one niche use for the Synctium mods which is when using tech master as this will also stack with tech specialist for even more skill type "modifier", tech master will also give you plain skill power however so you get way more benefit from Synctium. Generally you will only want to use this in setups that have incredibly low base skill modifier.
      As for the elemental master mods, you'll get about as much benifit from sword and shield than Synctium, although I think Synctium will win out given there is a bunch of situational plain skill increases like dangerous ambush.

    • @RealAsianRobot
      @RealAsianRobot  Місяць тому

      @w1mark275 rather than the tech master. I realized it works better if I roll skill simplification and then the element master (I.e. for Valby). This theoretically gives the best bang for buck. Plus it covers more skill sub types so I can freely switch, but you are definitely correct about the potential niche use of the synctium.
      The need for crit as a multiplier to reach the truly high numbers unfortunately locks out many potentially stacked base compositions

    • @w1mark275
      @w1mark275 Місяць тому

      @@RealAsianRobot Ah yea, skill simplification is likely quite a useful mod to have as it'll save tons of kuiper/gold in the long run, the mp penality hurts quite a lot though but it can be made up due to the fact that most low-damage skills are DoTs which you can increase their duration.

      @RealAsianRobot  Місяць тому

      @@w1mark275 Yeah at first the MP Penalty bothered me, but I went for a Sensor that has Max Mp (Gold Roll) and In Combat Mp Regen (above 0.25). This resolved 90% of my issues so I started using Skill SImplification for all DoT styles, since it is not affected by type (i.e. Dimension, Tech, etc.) and the Max MP penalty is not a big bother.
      Plus like you said, Duration is a huge factor so that getting a nice boost is helpful as well!

    • @RealAsianRobot
      @RealAsianRobot  27 днів тому +1

      The cooldown reduction is very character dependant to be perfectly honest. If your character does not rely on it, then there is no point in having it. For characters that 100% rely on it, then the sacrificed power is worth it for another 'burst'
      For example: I have upcoming builds where you will actually see me make my cooldowns longer so I can squeeze in extra power because the time between my bursts is long enough 😏.

  • @TheRazor124

    Thank you for doing this. Super helpful information.
    I have a request. Reactors? Can you figure out why sometimes the stats on top are red but my skill powers are all green and vice-versa? How is it calculated? Why is it so inconsistent between builds and classes? Why do weaker reactors give me higher skill damage sometimes?

    • @w1mark275
      @w1mark275 Місяць тому

      All of your reactors have a special requirement that you must satisfy to get a bonus 40 or 60% skill power. For instance, for rare reactors you may need to have a scout rifle equipped on your character or you will get 100% skill power instead of 140%. For ultimate reactors however, not only does the weapon equipped, you must be currently HOLDING the weapon, for instance, one reactor might require to have a thunder cage "mounted", this means you must be holding a thunder cage for 160% skill power, otherwise you will only have 100% skill power. Generally this means rare reactors are somewhat weaker but are more versatile as you can use any of your 3 weapons to get a 40% bonus to your skill power whereas an ultimate reactor will only give you a 60% bonus when holding your ultimate weapon.
      To actually figure out how much damage your skills are being powered up by your reactor, you have to check the element and skill type of your reactor. Generally all of your skills will be the same element, however they can vary in skill type. The 4 differnt skill types are singular, fusion, tech and dimension, usually half of your skills will be of one skill type, but the other half will be of another (make sure to check your passive as they can have an element and skill type too) so you will have to choose which half of skills you want to be boosted by your reactor. (Its often is a choice between boosting your ultimate or your base skills) Make sure to also look at the sub-stats of your reactors too, these are random rolls your reactor can have and they can contribute to your element and skill type damage.

      fire/chill/electric/toxic specalist: +19% elemental skill power + 44.4% plain skill power (benifits slightly more from syncytium's 10.2% elemental skill power than sword and shield)
      singular/tech/fusion/dimension master: +25.5% skill-type Power MODIFIER +49.6% plain skill power (benefits way more from syncytium mods than sword and shield) (These can stack with singular/tech/fusion/dimension specialist!!!)
      singular/tech/fusion/dimension specialist can stack with any of the 3 previous mods but only offer skill-type Power modifier, these mods can be dramatically more useful than the previous 3 mods in skills that have very low base skill damage modifier. (shown in the description of the character's skills). Iron defense will likely only be useful after you have considered equipping the first 2 category of mods I just listed.

    @arunasoul1075 Місяць тому

    Awesome info! Though I did have a question, I'll put the reasoning for the question below.
    Is there a reason why for the DOTs test you didn't use the subtype master mods? Such as Dimension/Singular/Fusion/Tech Master? They are still battle mods, increase skill power, and increase skill power modifier for their specific category. For DOT skills, most of them suffer from being sub 100% multipliers, so wouldn't they be clear winners for DOT builds?
    I'm only asking because your second set up with Iron Defense was for the DOT skills, and it seems odd not to look at the master skills that are basically built for DOT's when looking at the best set up for DOT builds. ID shifted the numbers a lot with a lower bonus than any of the subtype master mods would do because of the modifier boost built in.

    • @RealAsianRobot
      @RealAsianRobot  Місяць тому

      The sub type do not increase skill power. Focus on Tech, Dimension, etc. Boosts the skill power MODIFIER which has a huge impact on DoTs and their effects are relatively straightforward (I.e. biggest number is best) 😁👍. It was already discussed in my vid about skill power vs skill power modifier.
      However if you want a more in-depth test I can do a separate vid on that in future. Where we hold skill power static and focus on what is the best way to increase the modifier

    • @arunasoul1075
      @arunasoul1075 Місяць тому

      @@RealAsianRobot Oh, I see in the first line of the reply the communication issue, I should have been more clear. It seems you looked at the 'focus' category/series of mods, not the 'master' category/series of mods. Focus DOES only increase modifier, but Master boosts 'skill power' AND something else. The Elemental ones boost skill power and element power where as the subtype masters give skill power and subtype power modifier.
      The information on the subtype master mods say it increases Skill power by 49.60% (raw skill power) and increases skill modifier by 25.50% (skill modifier). So unless the game has wrong information on all 4 subtype master mods, which I wouldn't say is impossible due to translation error, I think they do increase skill power AND skill power modifier.
      I was looking specifically at Dimension master for my Blair build at the time, so I'm not 100% the others work this way, but from a quick skim on each of them they all appear to do so.
      Again, not trying to start something, just understand the why here, as if your using Iron Defense for a minor skill modifier boost for the DOT character portion of the info in the video, I think looking at Fusion master for Bubble Bullet and Laundry Bomb, or Dimension Master for Plop Plop and Clean Up would make more sense for DOT based characters.
      Valby suffers from subtype splitting more than Blair and Freyna, who have most if not all of their damage coming out of skills with the same subtype.
      Only bringing it up as this video is solid on showing the basics and helping someone become more informed on how to build their character so I just wanted to make sure it was thought of, and added to the testing here if possible to prevent players from thinking they don't have the option of the Subtype Master mods when they do straddle both worlds on raising skill power and modifier so that you get more bang for your buck on the DOT character crowd.
      Thanks for your reply!

      @@arunasoul1075 Ah I see, yeah, the problem with the Master series for the sub-type (Tech, Dimension etc.) is that it only boosts that sub type and locks out the other skill power type skills (Tech Master, if I'm not wrong, will lock out Non-Attribute Master).
      So for this reason, they are not used. You can stack Tech Master and Tech Specialist together, which some have considered ideal.
