Okay, so it has a point to be there.

But why the fuck would there be a cap on how much it can scale. They are getting 150 Melee power just for being capped, another 30 for their action boost. That means that they just need an item with 20 Melee Power to reach the cap for that ability.


Nah, not even, just have to smite while boosted

41 AP, class level 20: Champion of Good: You gain +4 Charisma and 10 Melee Power
Empowered Smite: Your Smite Evil and Exalted Smite abilities now grant a buff that increases Melee Power by 10 for 10 seconds.

I think for divine light it means you get 200% or 2x your melee power for the damage not that it is capped out aat 200% melee power (capping it out is retarded)

Interesting point of view.

150 MP would actually be 300 MP, moving it from 18d6 to 72d6?

I hate Barcelot's asshattery as much as everyone else, but he was right this time.

Calling me Fire Foot is the worst insult I have received to date on the vault.

Worst insult on the vault? Woohoo! I was the best at something!

Yeah, it was early in the morning and I hadn't drunk my half liter morning coffee yet.

Plus, I was wrong while doing it!

Asking some people I know on the PC seems to indicate that is what was meant.  Do I trust their word? Sort of.

It would be really really nice.

Me thinks a build idea 15 pal 4 rogue 1 fvs that I was toying around with before these changes were announced would be sweet.

Think of it this way, with regards to divine light:

0 MP = 100% damage, thus the standard 18d6
100 MP = 200% damage, from the formula (100 + MP)/100 that was stated in the diary.
HOWEVER, because divine light will scale at 200% MP, the 100 MP becomes (essentially for all intents and purposes for this ability) 200 MP.  In turn the formula is (100 + 200)/100 or 300% damage which translates into 54d6, which is an average of 189 damage with a deviation of approximately 33.61 damage.

There, I did math for all you internet folk.

ENJOY!

We hate repetition. Especially when it isn't needed. We don't mention it every post, but nobody's memory is *that* short. Yes, we all still remember Ollie lied. We care less now, ironically because of your incessant posts about it.

For what it's worth, I do recognize you were right on Flav's mistake, and I was wrong. Still, my reaction was at least half-fueled by the amount of yes-we-all-still-remember-Ollie-lied you've posted. Which isn't fair, because passive-aggressive is lame.

So: shut the fuck up about Ollie already, and we're cool.

I was making a joke about it, correction, attempting to make a joke, unsuccessfully it seems, I just changed the emoticon and I think that helps, fucking emoticons.

It's too bad you don't like repetition, because if Ollie acts like a jackass again I will most likely feel compelled to point it out and slap him down. And considering he appears to be a endless loop of lying, claiming and self administered drama, so I would expect some more repetition.  Shaming seems to be the only way to turn off his bullshit machine even if just a few days, but even a just a few days without him is well worth the effort. I hardly can credit that my "incessant posts" make you or anyone care more or less about it, saying so is disingenuous at best.

Feel free to continue to be passive or even aggressive aggressive, no skin off my nose.  I was pretty sure why you posted the way you did, and that you were butt sore about my stance on Ollie, your not the only one, But I don't let those type of agendas and factional ambushes influence my responses too much, for example I would suggest that you take a look at how I dealt with the misunderstanding in this thread. You might say I was restrained.

But anyway, Barb will come... it's just a matter of time.



NP just pointing out, as you can see it lead to some misunderstanding down the thread, I can't think without java myself or a cold redbull.

Barb should be interesting for sure, especially in light of the power creep that is evident in the latest content (which I love).  Makes me shiver to guess what type of capstones they will throw out considering how hefty the lastest ones have been, especially in attribute buffs.

Buttsore on your whining about Ollie, yes. Get your dick out of my butt already.

Buttsore over your stance on Ollie, no. Don't trust Ollie. That makes sense to me. He's shown multiple times in multiple ways that it's a crap shoot whether what he posts is the truth. If you want to deal with that by assuming everything he posts is a lie, I won't argue with that. It makes more sense than Ollie does. But when Ollie does post something that is true, and I back it up, or someone else backs it up, don't be the fucking dick who assumes it's because we respect Ollie. IDGAF about Ollie.

You can check any of my posts; I don't back up something unless I've personally tested it. If what I've tested happens to agree with what Ollie has said, I'll fucking say so. Likewise, if it does not. Stop confusing your hate boner for Ollie with my ass. That's what I'm buttsore about.

Dude this makes no sense in that it is superfluous, you are trying to insert (pun intended) yourself into the issues I have with Ollie and my choice of actions, telling me to stop, saying everyone already knows, how am undercutting myself,etc..  Now granted I took a moment to go all marchmellow as Dropbear so kindly pointed out, and was explaining my stance to a certain degree. But please don't mistake me,  I wasn't inviting you into some fucking dialog.

I've made myself pretty clear, but for clarity sake:  I don't care if you or anyone supports or doesn't support Ollie, if he acts like a jackass I will most likely slap him down if I see it, and have the time.

Outside of that, that you or others remember about Ollie, or think about my tactics don't and won't factor in, once again as example I direct you to review the exchanges earlier in this thread.
