i need to know

#

99% I think

#

since when 50 DP gives you 33%

#

Nah, no way it’s 99%

rapid raven
#

There must be a way to calculate it right?

#

idk how

#

but basically the way it works is

#

50dp=33%

#

150 dp=66%

#

20dp=20%
500 dp=95%
1000000000=96%

#

something like that

#

the point is that its like a quadratic function or something

#

so at some point it doesn't matter how many more dp you got cause they do nothing

#

but yes, 150 is a lot i think. maybe 66%?

No

#

Well yes, but it scales using 100 / (100+#)

#

So 50 Defense would be 100/150, or 33%

#

So 100/250 is 60% damage reduction

#

To calculate 150 Defense ^

#

Simpler than most people think

Um actually it is a rational function (parent function 1/x) with the function as x/(x+100) where x is defense points, as x approaches infinity f(x) approaches but never goes to 1 and f(x) times 1pp represents damage resistance as a % so it's impossible to reach 100% 🤓☝️

#

Contrary to popular belief it's actually not diminishing returns assuming no defense mitigation for example 100DP is 50% resistance but 2 50s make 100 so twice the amount of effective health or +100%, 300DP is 75% and 4 25%s make 100 so quadruple the effective health or +300%. Defense points is equal to "extra health percentage" and defense mitigation basically ignores a certain % of this "extra health percentage" 🤓☝️

#

If defense points stacked "linerarly" each defense point would have progressively greater effects through effective health represented by the equation 1/(1-x) where x is damage reduction (not DP), for example 25% DR is 133% EH, 50% DR is 200% EH, 75% DR is 400% EH, 80% DR is 500% EH, 90% DR is 1000% EH, 99% DR is 10000% EH, 99.9% DR is 100000% EH, and 100% DR is INFINITY% EH aka godmode 🤓☝️

#

Yes I put time and effort into this and I'm not sorry, this stuff also applies to suppression (% damage reduction), speed, and more (for example someone walking at 0.25 m/s will take 4 times more time to get somewhere than someone walking at 1 m/s and a person who stands still or 0 m/s will never get anywhere)
Yes I am a math nerd and now you too can use it in video games 🤓☝️
But to answer your question, 150/250 = 0.6 which is 60% DR
TL:DR search it up

You had to make it complicated again

#

Im not hating, just disappointed that it wasn’t simple

#

Defense points = extra percentage of health you have based on current health (assuming no defense mit)

#

So if I had 69420 defense points I would theoretically have 69420% extra health.

gray birch
#

Yeah I get that

#

The nerd stuff was mostly me venting but it's true and useful info for anyone who wants to calculate defense point stuff instantly

Coulda just corrected my equation to x/(x+100)
