    Results of stacking Aura Effect on Dread Banner to reduce enemy accuracy to zero

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 12:49 PM PDT

    I'm not sure who actually cares about stuff like this, but here it is anyway, for science. TL;DR at the bottom.

    The theory

    The idea is to get 95% Chance to Evade without investing anything into Evasion. Here is the Chance to Hit formula, for reference (source):

    C = Chance to Hit A = Accuracy of Attacker E = Evasion Rating of Defender C = 1.15 * A / (A + (0.25 * E)^0.8) 

    Clearly, from the equation, if A is zero, and E is nonzero, C is zero. However, chance to hit cannot be less than 5% or greater than 100%, so it is set to 5% in game.

    Does it work?

    Yes. I've been playing a Splitting Steel Champion that stacks Aura Effect to get a juiced up Pride, Flesh and Stone, and Dread Banner. I currently have a level 28 Dread Banner with 321% increased Aura Effect. It grants 101% less Accuracy Rating to nearby enemies.

    Testing this in PvP showed that my friend's Accuracy rating was zero (in fact, that line completely disappeared from his character tab). Sure enough, he hit me exactly once every 20 attacks, regardless of my Evasion Rating. No surprises here -- it's right there in the equation.

    Okay, so what happens if both the attacker's Accuracy and the defender's Evasion are zero?

    I wanted to see if it was possible to take Iron Reflexes with this build, because that would enable me to use mainly DEX gear and get some interesting synergy with Wind Dancer. From the equation, it's unclear what happens when both A and E are zero, because then chance to hit becomes zero divided by zero.

    I took Iron Reflexes, and the results were curious: I was hit exactly 75% of the time. It seems that GGG did plan for this edge case and set Chance to Hit to 75% if both Accuracy and Evasion were zero. While this is slightly disappointing for my character in particular, my little experiment was interesting, and I hope you agree.

    I'm still going to take advantage of this 95% Chance to Evade. I'm just going to skip Iron Reflexes and avoid Evasion Rating on gear since it's redundant now. Overall, I think stacking Aura Effect on a build like this is very powerful, so I'm still quite pleased with the character.

    TL;DR: Dread Banner can reduce enemy Accuracy to zero and give you 95% Chance to Evade. When you combine this with Iron Reflexes, the game instead sets your Chance to Evade to 25%.

    Can we get "You can shift right-click on a stash tab in this dropdown to send it to the far right."?

    I guess Nenet has some thoubles getting into relationships?

    Have to take advantage of the two-handed sword witch by going all out

    Anyone else kinda annoyed you have to go to HO between heists to unveil?

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 06:47 AM PDT

    With grand heist it becomes clear: 1. we need fragments to stack in inventory at least by 20 per stack. 2. we need access to stash between wings

    So we have to wait for animations & everything for “immersion” reasons.. then explain to me why Tibbs has to break doors he ALREADY BROKE. Immersion assassinated.

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 04:53 AM PDT

    Can't have it both ways GGG. If you are going to force us to wait on timers & shit with the direction being immersion or to lay out the vibe of the league at least keep it that way. You break into a bank to rob it on your way out guess what, that glass hasn't been magically repaired. Timers suck as it is in a game you force to be mass RNG and monster smashing so why slow the game play down with timers that restock.

    Why you so ugly? (coub in comments)

    The legion room in the temple has a guaranteed war hoard / general on levels 2/3. Can we change the breach room to have a guaranteed chayula breach / breachlord in the breach?

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 04:33 AM PDT

    Currently, the breach room in the temple is pretty disappointing. Having a guaranteed better breach, like the legion room gets guaranteed rewards, would make it far more interesting in my opinion.

    Kurai's AI and behavior should be the standard for ANY follower in Heist.

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 05:30 AM PDT

    Pretty much title. She fights mobs (even with her abyssmal damage) but as soon as I use the league hotkey, she drops combat, runs to the door and opens it. GGG clearly shows that it is possible for followers to drop any combat and prioritize opening doors or chests. Why is it that just Kurai does it? Can we PLEASE already have all followers behave like her? Specially Niles?

    Yellow orb attack that some heist enemies do is unbalanced

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 12:10 PM PDT

    It hits way too hard and is a death sentence if you are in a narrow path where you can only go forward and back. The chieftan I am playing has 10 endurance charges, 6k life, 75% phys reduction, 60% glancing blows and I get killed in 1 hit from those orbs. Simply too much for a non rare and I leave my contracts white. Anybody else agrees or am I missing something?
