Talk:Eternal Psychodrive

Rod bonus

I think it's closer to 28% than 30%.
Shadow Taker @ 1377 = 3123
EPD @ 1366 = 3337
A little nitpicky, but then again double cannon has weird numbers too. Negative 02:57, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

• I tested this out last night to see what I could come up with. I'm a LV180 male beast, Masterforce LV20 (2,012 TP) with TECHNIC+ LV5 (+150 TP), an Eternal Psychodrive (1,320 TP) and Rod Damage+ LV1 (+26 TP based on the weapon's base power). I took off my line shield and all for the sake of having less numbers to fool with. This gives me 3,508 TP. I used LV50 Diga (310% power mod) against a LV1 Pannon which has 7 MST. (I made sure that the rod element was neutral to remove one more thing to have to factor into this.) Using this equation:
  • (TP * (1.2 + additional rod bonus) * TECHNIC power mod - enemy MST) / 5 = damage
  • (3508 * (1.2 + x) * 3.1 - 7) / 5 = 3244
  • 13,049.76 + 10,874.8x - 7 = 16,220
  • 10,874.8x = 3,177.24
  • x = 0.292 = +29%
• So, you're right. It's just shy of 30%. If I have time and think about it, I'd like to try it out with some other TECHNICs tonight to see what I come up with. - EspioKaos 09:51, 13 March 2012 (EDT)
