Talk:General's Cry

Damage Scaling

I am not sure it can simply saying you have 5 Mirage Warriors, each use a skill that is 30% less damage, is equal to 70% damage times 5.... Neokowloon (talk) 20:14, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

That was my calculations. I accidentally messed up. It should be 350% of a single attack or 250% more damage than 1 single attack. But I realized it won't directly calculate that easily, because generals cry takes up a

support gem slot that the attack skill will get. In other words the math will require more calculations to compare it directly to one swing from a linked attack damage. It needs a variable for support gem missing to compare damage. I didn't have time to change the math, so I removed the wrong math.

It is not that simple. Each mirage only use the attack once and then you have to resummon as well as mirage will have to walk to the enemy to attack, so that the whole thing can't be modelled as dps or damage per warcry. Neokowloon (talk) 12:14, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

I see what you are saying now. I think it could possibly be useful to state how much total dps you get from each warcry after all mirage's attack. It would not be labelled as dps, but would be labeled as total dps from all mirages attacks per warcry used. The reason something like this is useful is, from the perspective of a slow attack speed attacker the warcry does massive total dps for the time it takes to cast the warcry. Then with multiple 6 links a character could spam another 6 link attack while general's cry is on cooldown. I know not many people use multiple 6 links damage on their builds, but if it is stated explicitly then the information could be useful for some builds. --Killodoggy (talk) 18:59, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
