Hi everyone,
I currently play on Atlantic. I have read many threads on sampire builds and almost every one of the templates have 120 Tactics and 120 Anatomy. As you all can guess, the prices for these scrolls are super expensive. I was looking at 25 mil for a 120 Anatomy and 50 mil for 120 Tactics on vendor search.
I play solo and am not part of any guilds, though I have contemplated joining UWF. I am horrible at PVP, so anytime the champion spawn gets raided, I'm getting killed. Thats not including that I don't have any of these artifacts that all the PVPers like to use. I get the facts about risk vs reward, and this thread is not about that.
Regardless, I was running through some stats using the damage calculation formulas on UOGuide, specifically, on this page: Damage Calculations - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia.
I currently have 118 Str, 100 Anatomy, 100 Tactics, 100 Damage increase (including weapon). I currently dont have lumberjacking on this build. My max stats are at 255. I dont have the scroll of Valiant Commendation. My suit is completely imbued with no artifacts (studded leather). I do have Duelist's Edge. I consider the extra 7 strength I want (included in calculations below) to be 'free' based strictly on gold value, I know it comes at a different cost albeit intelligence or dexterity.
I know I can free up imbuing slots on weapons and armor with certain artifacts or legendaries I get in loot.
I created a spreadsheet with these forumlas and started plugging some numbers in. Right now, my damage increase is currently at 252.9%.
Working with the spreadsheet, these are the damage calculations I came up with:
110 Anat, 110 Tactics, 125 Str: 277.5% - Cost, about 2 mil gold. (Anatomy 1 mil, Tactics 1 mil)
115 Anat, 115 Tactics, 125 Str: 283.125% - Cost, about 7 mil gold. (Anatomy 2 mil, Tactics 5 mil)
120 Anat, 120 Tactics, 125 Str: 288.75% - Cost, about 75 mil gold. (Anatomy 25 mil, Tactics 50 mil)
Is it really worth it to scroll up to 120 in both Anatomy and Tactics based upon purchasing the scrolls? There's diminishing returns based upon gold value and damage increase. For that extra 5%, how much does it matter?
For instance, assuming my str is at 125, I can do 195 damage with a bladed staff using AI at 110 Anatomy and 110 tactics. At 120 Anatomy and 120 Tactics, I will do 201 damage, while leeching an extra couple of life with each successful swing. 20% of 6 is only 1.2 per swing, outside of life leech, which is at 56% on my current weapon and SSI of 30%.
So, what are your thoughts on 110 vs 115 vs 120 Anatomy and Tactics. Is it worth purchasing?
Thanks for reading.
