Some Buffing Numbers (Nurture Spec & ToA bonus)

Tombo

I was on pend the past few days playing around with ToA buff bonuses and varying levels of Nurture. What you will find here is a listing of some specs with some various buff bonus levels. At the end you will find a list of what spec and bonus (using increments of 8%, 12%, 20%, 25%) will cap your buffs.

* Empathy and Quickness not listed as they do not change *

Note: I added WS & Hits because I need them for other purposes

Test Dummy #1:

Level 50 Warden

Naked

+10 str/con/emp at creation

RR 1L1 (+0 nurture)

starting spec: 1n 1r 1w 1p

Test Dummy #2:

Level 50 Warden

Naked

+10 str/con/emp at creation

RR 5L0 (+4 nurture)

starting spec: 38n 1r 1w 1p

Buffs:

player lvl * 1.25 = cap

Might of the Redwood: +50 str (+62 cap)

Redwood's Girth: +44 con (+62 cap)

Dexterity of the Wolf: +48 Dex (+62 cap)

Superior Skin of the Redwood: +55 AF (+?? cap)

1 nurture + 25% ToA

169 str (+46)

126 con (+41)

Conclusion:

As you can clearly see that with nothing invested in Nurture, you do not reach the delve value of your buffs. Even with the 25% bonus to stat enchancement buffs.

This also verifies that the stat enhancement buffs truly do give you 25% bonus, which is rounded. This bonus is tacked on the the actual value and not the delve value of the buff.

For example, the strength buff gives you +37 str. With the 25% haste you get +46 str. 37 +25% = 46.25

Cast Value + 25% = Buff Value

26 nurture

607 WS

Conclusion:

As you can see we hit the strength cap with 25% ToA bonus. 26n was a good display point here as this is where you get the first PBT. You actually hit the str cap at 24n +25% ToA bonus.

Conclusion:

Well its evident that you don't reach your caps with a raw 38m (you don't with a raw 49n or 50n either). 20% ToA bonus is 1 con short of cap unless you are RR5. At RR5 with 38n and 20% from ToA you will cap all but that AF.

Final Summary:

Well not much of a summary really, the numbers speak for themselves. However, I will finish this with a list of the true capping points for each buff.

strength

24n +25% caps str = 185

30n +20% caps str = 185

38n +12% caps str = 185

42n +08% caps str = 185

dexterity

30n +25% caps dex = 102

34n +20% caps dex = 102

42n +12% caps dex = 102

46n +08% caps dex = 102

constitution

35n +25% caps con = 147

39n +20% caps con = 147

50n +4 (RR5) +12% = 146

armor factor

46n +25% caps af = 85

49n +20% caps af = 85

50n +4 (RR5) +12% != 85

Understand that these numbers are not a tell all. There are various levels of stat enhancement bonuses so you can get different combination of items to give different total values.

I happened to have 3 items on me for testing on Pendragon. They were 8%, 12%, 20%. Live I have a 7% & 10% item as well. Therefore I could have done 15%, 17%, 18%, 22% as well if I copied them over, but that would have been atleast double the work if not a bit more.
