Cracking the Magic Stats

[mammoth]

There are two types of magic stats--the one shown on a ring (1~10). And the one you can increase by gaining xp and equipping better gems. Have you ever been confused by them and their relationship to the ultimate damage/health regen you could do? Well, I was. That's why I set aside some time to experiment the difference between the two types of stats. I battled the same enemy over a hundred times with different rings and magic stats (1~450), and created some plots with an online software:

Long story short:
1. The magic stat on a ring is similar to a linear multiplier, but not quite. If x axis represents the magic stat and y axis the ultimate damage you could do, then the plot of a ring magic stat is in between a straight line and this. But it looks more like a straight line.
2. The magic stat we get from xp and gems is a standard diminishing returns function. If x represents the magic stat and y the dmg/health regeneration, then the plot looks like this

Darthduck also had an awesome post on ring stat and their regen time here. Check it out.

In an act of shameless self-promotion: check out this forumla in this thread that allows you to predict how much magic damage you could deal

I wouldn't mind seeing the actual data.

More info needed Mammoth!! Really intrigued to see if your findings are correct but would like a bit more to read first.

It's on a excel spreadsheet. Private message me if you want it.

Check out this thread of mine. With my formula you can predict your magic damage with a fair dgree of accuracy

Thanks Mammoth that's great. Must have missed the other thread.

Nice work putting your time and effort into this formula.
