[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

I've been googling and reading Destroyer threads on here and GameFAQs and there is no consistent view anywhere on what the various shield penalties and bonuses do.

 

He has 1000 base shields. HML tree says it removes 50% of max shields. Max, or base shields?

 

Devastator mode has "add 40% shields" - that's 40% of base shields, or 400 shields, right?

 

HML has "reduce shield penalty by 25%". Is that 25% of the penalty (which would mean the penalty goes down to 37.5%), or does that mean the penalty goes down to 25% instead of 50%? And what is that 25% (or 37.5%) OF?

 

What are the percentages and to what do they apply? Please help me understand Biovar "arithmetic".

Hiya,

 

As per your questions,

base shields

right

neither, rank 4a reduces shield penalty by 40% or 400 shields.

Wait, is that thee Drone in your avatar? I thought it was a cat or a pig...

hawk missile launcher with rank 4 only takes 100 shields off at base

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

 

right

Which one is right?

 

Thank you for the rest of your answer.

How do you calculate that? I'm not asking for the effective shields, the topic says "how to calculate" so that's what I'm asking,

well then google 10% of 1000 and there you go

Kalence is right if you just check that.  It always factors off of base shields.  1000 normally.  500 with 3 ranks in HML, 900 with 4.  Same method goes for D-mode.

All the calculations are based on 1000 base shields, so an additional 40% shields will add 400 shields.  Practically, the other evolution for additional weapon damage is always better.

Huh???  It's a cat, of course.

And where do you see "10%" in the HML tree?

simple math, starts at 50% then rank 4 reduces by 40%. im starting to think you haven't read what his power tree says

I am starting to think you are an arrogant DB.

he's wanting people to show their math for everything, i didn't like "showing my work" in school I'm not going to do it here

[Deerber]

Lol

I'm sure that was a long time ago

[Krazy_Kirby]

im 25 so not really

[Jelena Jankovic]

Math hurts

 

make it stop

make it stop

its not so much the math its the showing work stuff, i do multiple steps in my head or in my head and calculator and i dont need to write it down

In the thread I linked, the second post was by Cyonan.  To quote him "With the penalty reduction, having Hawk Missile Launcher on takes off exactly 100 shields regardless of everything else you have."

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Yes. The clue was in the title of the thread.

[Deerber]

My point

[NuclearTech76]

I "think" (code for SWAG) that everything is calculated off base shields. IE hunter mode reduction is off base shields, DM, etc. As far as explaining the complexities of Biowar Math, I'm not going to even attempt that.

Ya got ballz, son

 

This isn't a necro....wow.

I couldn't find a consistent answer in any of the old forum threads that came up. But now I wish I'd never asked.

[JRandall0308]

I just assume Kalence calculates everything correctly unless there is 100% evidence to the contrary.
