thought it was 6% per level, it is apparently 6.25%
adeyke,Apr 9 2006, 10:20 PM Wrote:Synergy and mastery are multiplicative. However, I really don't get how you're calculating those values.
30 synergy, 20 mastery gives +1,268% to fireball and +558% to meteor.
21 synergy, 29 mastery gives +1,184% to fireball and +568% to meteor.

Oops. mad a booboo in my calcs, added the one AFTER i did the multiplying synergy/mastery together, instead of adding one to each before multiplying, however my numbers still dont seem to match up to yours...I also seem to have had a slight crisis of my left hand number being 1 less than my skill number, oops again lol and then i noticed i was using 15% for fireball synergy instead of 14%
adeyke,Apr 9 2006, 10:20 PM Wrote:In the situation you describe, fireball ideally wants 25 synergy, 25 mastery, while meteor ideally wants the the 21 synergy, 29 mastery. The more +skills you have, though, the more investments you'll want in synergies instead of mastery.

How did you get 25s/25m and 21s/29m?
Fireball
21s/29m = 12.84
22s/28m = 13.02
23s/27m = 13.17
24s/26m = 13.30
25s/25m = 13.41
26s/24m = 13.50
27s/23m = 13.58
28s/22m = 13.63
29s/21m = 13.66
30s/20m = 13.68
31s/19m = 13.67
Optimal Fireball is 30s/20m
Meteor
21s/29m = 6.68
22s/28m = 6.70
23s/27m = 6.71
24s/26m = 6.71
25s/25m = 6.71
26s/24m = 6.69
Optimal meteor is 24s/26m, but since the synergy and mastery are so similar in bonus, 23s/27m and 25s/25m give the same whole percentage bonus
(gotta love spreadsheets and the ability to just go up and down diagonally to see what's best for a given number of skill points)

How exactly do resists and absorb come into play here? are they applied before mana shield or after? And hopefully it wont be too devastating while they are holy frozen lol
thanks for helping me point out my typos in my formulae adeyke
