questions

Hey, has anyone done the math on when Dreadplate, Vanquisher Crown, Atlas Gauntlets and Doom Walkers becomes better than Onyx+Heavens Might?

Did some headmath and thinks it becomes better at around 2000 HP, could be wrong.

From a pure EHP standpoint this is ofcourse.

Did some more math, might even be as low as 1500 HP.

uhhmm no

Can delete this thread, I answered my own question. xD

I didn't understand what you mean by EHP...

Effective health, basicly your total health when countin in your absorb.

But to get the correct answer I would need more math, counting in the dex, str and int loss from switching gear.

As en example

You have 1000 life and 0 absorb, your opponent would hit you for 1000 damage.

You have 1000 life and 90% absorb, your oppenent would only hit you for 100 damage, making you stay alive way longer.

Great attention to detail there I must say…

Wait, that's how that works?

Effective HP is when accounting for damage reduction/armor or whatever is applicable to the given game yea. In the example with 90% absorb that would result in 10,000 EHP, every point of health is "effectively" worth 10x as much because of the absorb mitigating that much.

Better is a pretty loose term but I'm guessing you mean stronger against other bots instead of stuff like sacrificing winrate for more average exp against a trainbot, even then you should be looking at each individual swap instead of as a whole since each equipment piece swap is a completely different trade off.

Most high level bots will equip dread, vanq, onyx gaunts and march for the tourney swapping the other 2 is questionable since they offer less added absorb for the sacrificed stats, especially onyx gaunts which are pretty op.

Yeah, it all depends on your other stats aswell.. just thought it would be cool to see how it all works out, been wondering a couple of times how good the non-uniques really are compared to uniques.
