A reminder that a bug can currently cause endurance to affect ward on low life builds, despite it not supposed to be able to do so

Instant sub from me. I come from a background in Warframe, mostly min-maxing builds for endless missions. Having now fixated on LE as my new obsession, I'm amazed at how clearly and concisely you relay the information. From one math nerd to another, this is greatly appreciated for my Smite Pally build.

This is the first video I've seen of yours. Well done! Clear audio, neat/organized visuals in camera (when camera is insisted on) and the information you planned to cover was well prepared with meaningful and easy to understand examples. Thank you. New subscriber!

Impressive analysis! Thank you for this!

Ward per Second actually generates Ward as opposed to Ward Retention, and that is a huge benefit in itself since your Ward per Second will serve a double function of EHP and EHR.

Thanks for the explanations! I found that really usefull.

This is very helpful, thanks ❤

Good stuff - sub man. You know that vid is lit when excel (or paint :P) is on screen

I did some additional calculations on a copy of your spreadsheet, I tried to find the point where you'd want to transition from ward/sec to ward retention I found a few interesting points. If you care about keeping more ward for longer(after 5 seconds), ward/sec is best up to ~2000 ward if you care about higher ward numbers mid-fight (after 1,2 or 3 seconds) ward retention is best starting from ~1600 ward. this is true for both high and low amounts of ward/sec and ward retention(27, 20% and 135, 100%) also, ward retention is better at retaining higher amounts of but for a short while. while ward/sec is better at retaining low amounts of ward and for much longer. so a good rule of thumb would be to early game > ward/sec late game > ward retention + a tiny amount of ward/sec(which would make a ton of difference)

High quality. Subbed

Wow, someone who uses his words, numbers, actual examples from the game and the computer in front of him. 🤯content, well done.

Farming initial low-life Wraithlord build gear now (quite popular eh?). And when real crafting will start, spreadsheet calculations will come in handy. Its a different story, there is no real ward gain except ward per second from burning your own health, and I want to maximize neutral ward. So there is +HP, +HP%, +ward, +ward retention, +int (gives ward retention), HP to ward per sec and ward per sec on gear. And it is quite easy to add column with T5 craftable affix next to every craftable stat that will show how much it will add to what you have. P.S. Was going to write something like "Yeah, using spreadsheets is nice idea to calc neutral ward, forgot about them" and while writing comment it expanded to what you see o)

Also very helpful video

Nice vid

This is super cool, can you build up on this and add "loose life % get ward %" calculations and "starting health"? it would be interesting to see.

Hey there. I created some graphs of ward as a function of time with varying ward threshold, and ward retention. whats the best way to share this with you? (your discord link is expired)

Handy. Thank you. Do Ward on Hit and Ward on Kill work like Ward per Second?

There is any way now in game to calculate how much ward I have? I wanna try ward on my falconer but not necessarily using bug that will be fixed in next cycle

Intelligence also increases your damage. So always take intelligence first.

For HC what damage over time bypass your ward?

what damage in the game goes through ward? curious about low life and self dot builds but I'm on hardcore and I'm scared

O shit, armor is applied first? Ward is pretty good

You basically made a entire spreadsheet while you couldve just shown all off it on tunklab, that's effort!

me: i hate meth!! also me: interesting...

I’m torn on this one. On one hand you seem to understand ward quite well. But then again you have 27% physres on a level 77 character which is awful. How come you simultaneously understand the game and not at all at the same time 😂

Ward decay threshold doesnt slow down ward decay and doest multiply with ward per second, it's just changes you 0 point for ward so I guess around the 5 min mark is a little bit of misinformation?

I fucking hate ward. I think they’ve made it over complicated with the sheer amount of different defensive stats in the game.

brooooo - heres some helpful tips, your video editing is horrible: 1) maximize the view! you chop off 33% of the screen and make the actual video smaller than the size of the video! 2) move your camera view away from the game screen where you are showing important info - EG: the gear isnt visible because your camera view is covering it 3) your audio and video is completely desynched. your audio is 1-2seconds ahead of the video. good luck!
