| − | == Do more crystals make the shield stronger? (Gas trap test) ==
| |
| − | I found a gas trap, so I decided to do some testing.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Spoiler:''' The trap is in the basement of the dwarf mansion, Ankh-Morpork.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This was done with a ma.sp.de bonus of over 500+, and all methods at 99+% to succeed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === No casts ===
| |
| − | In order to test, I first needed to see how much damage the trap did to me unshielded.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== No shield test ====
| |
| − | '''Note:''' Every HP-entry below is a separate triggering of the trap, it's not a damage over time effect.

| − | Casting HEB with all methods maxed and with one yellow crystal:

| − |
| |
| − | === The second casting result ===
| |
| − | Cast the spell on 1 more crystal while already having the first shield active. Nothing changed, same messages. Casting was a bit slower.

| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Conclusion ==
| |
| − | In my case, assuming my testing so far is correct:
| |
| − | *The shield blocked about 31% of the damage with one crystal (using the mean values).
| |
| − | *The shield blocket about 39% of the damage with 2 crystals (using the mean values.
| |
| − | *Using 3 crystals did not seem to make the shield stronger.
| |
| − | *The timer for the elemental shield does not seem to go down from blocking/absorbing damage.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Suggestions for further research ===
| |
| − | *It is unknown whether the shield blocks a percentage of damage or a set amount of damage.
| |
| − | *It is also unknown whether ma.me.elemental skills have any effect on the shield or if it is only ma.sp.de and the spell methods.
