0:00Hey guys, Shadowed Wrick here and today
0:03I have a video on a Sim bug regarding
0:07the Font of Venemous Rage trinket. Uh
0:09this should also be affecting all specs
0:11and classes and it is a rather
0:13significant bug.
0:15That said,
0:17you are looking at past Shadowed Wrick.
0:20Now it's always past Shadowed Wrick when
0:21you see one of my videos, but
0:24more past the normal.
0:26Uh at the time of me recording this, it
0:28is currently
0:30August 27th. The Race to World First is
0:33in full swing and I was alerted to this
0:35in a way that I will not be posting this
0:38until the Race to World First is
0:40concluded.
0:43Now,
0:45Font of Venemous Rage is a lot stronger
0:48than thought to be. Um
0:53essentially, what I've found looking at
0:57the data is
0:58there is an issue with the tool tip on
1:01Font of Venemous Rage and this is the
1:03same issue that Grief Torch had, though
1:06I'm not sure many people knew about it
1:08at that time either. So, with Grief
1:09Torch, it spat nine fire flames, but
1:15the tool tip was actually a number based
1:17off of eight. So, it did,
1:21you know, 1/8 more damage than the tool
1:23tip stated.
1:25Font of Venemous Rage is only five
1:27ticks. So, when I press a Font of
1:29Venemous Rage,
1:301 2 3 4 5, five ticks happen. You can
1:34see lots of damage just came out there,
1:361.38 million. I can pull up my log and
1:39you can see it's 205k per tick um
1:44and 489k on crits. You can ignore the
1:46top tick because that's from me
1:48previously casting.
1:51You'll notice that the tool tip number
1:54says 756332.
1:56So, you'd expect that a regular tick,
2:00again, I have no buffs, just Chaos Brand
2:02would be on this,
2:03my little bit of verse, 5%, which does
2:06not show up on the tooltip, either.
2:08Verse is not affecting the tooltip,
2:09oddly. Um
2:11but you would expect the original tick
2:12to be around 150k, but these are 205.
2:17Same bug as I mentioned for Reef Torch,
2:21the tooltip number is for four ticks of
2:23the trinket, despite the fact that it
2:25does five.
2:27I
2:28am not certain how tooltips were made on
2:31Blizzard's End, but looking at the same
2:33data, I can kind of understand how this
2:35would happen. You look at the base tick
2:37time of 0.5 and the doc duration of 2.0.
2:40So, you think, well, 0.5 ticks, 2
2:42seconds, 2 / 0.5, well, that's four.
2:46Except, it ticks at 0.00,
2:490.50.
2:52Sorry, 0.00, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, and 2.00.
2:58So, it ticks five times in that window,
3:01but it's only accounting for four. So,
3:03the tooltip is literally just wrong.
3:05But, it seems that the base damage that
3:08has been taken and put into sims is
3:10based off of the tooltip being divided
3:13by four.
3:15So,
3:17what ends up happening here then is you
3:19take
3:21or sorry, the number being divided by
3:22five, because it does five ticks, they
3:25took the number stated divided by five.
3:27So, you take this, 151266,
3:30this base number here, and you multiply
3:32that by five, and you get 756330.
3:36756332.
3:39Problem is, that's not the number.
3:42This is
3:46This is the amount when you multiply
3:50uh the original number by four and then
3:51divide this by five. So, essentially
3:53this number needs to be times 1.25.
3:57189,000. That should be the base hit
3:59rate. You can see in Sims it's not
4:01hitting for that. The average is 164k at
4:05and that would have different proc
4:06effects that could happen. And when we
4:08look in game, it's hitting for 205k.
4:12So, the gap that we then have between
4:14Sims and in game is
4:18164.5
4:21* 1.25 205.6
4:26Right on the money.
4:31This is just a 1-minute target dummy
4:33sim. Um but if I go in and look at, you
4:37know, like a regular
4:39regular sim for me
4:42where I'm looking at
4:46Let's make a new one.
4:50Let's take this here regular sim.
4:54I'm going to rate bots like sim it and
4:57it'll just be a regular
4:595 minutes
5:01uh and we'll do a patchwork with buffs.
5:05So, you're going to see Font of the
5:06Elements rage is still pretty high on my
5:08damage overall, but because this is a
5:11trinket with mastery base instead of
5:13agility, uh just like previous seasons
5:16you lose a massive amount of damage. So,
5:18this sim's about equivalent uh to many
5:21other trinkets despite the fact that
5:23it's doing 7.1% damage on Sims. The
5:26problem is this number is
5:29it should be 25% higher or, you know,
5:32it's about 20% lower than it should be.
5:35So, if you take that 7.1 * 0.25, I'm
5:38missing about 1.7% DPS on this sim.
5:43When this is simming a lot more similar
5:45to other trinkets, that means this is
5:46actually
5:48the best trinket for Havoc Demon Hunter
5:50in the game.
5:52That's assuming though that fight timers
5:55work. A 5-minute sim on a 4-minute
5:57trinket is
5:59perfect. Uh sims have a 20% variance,
6:01that means a 5-minute sim is actually
6:03between 4 and 6 minutes, which means in
6:05almost every sim it will get two casts
6:07of this out and then
6:10uh
6:10there's not much overage or waste.
6:13However, this trinket is even better
6:15than shown in a couple situations. Um
6:20notably U'latek. U'latek has the double
6:23damage burns on the heart, plus it will
6:25cleave multi-target onto the boss for
6:27that extra 133k. That number's also
6:30wrong, that number's also should be 25%
6:33higher, the same tooltip issue and same
6:36issue is affecting it. Uh
6:38so
6:40the cleave value's also higher on it. Uh
6:42and on U'latek, you have a burn window
6:45at like 2:15, 4:45, and 9:30. So you can
6:49press it on pull at 4:45 and at 9:30,
6:53meaning you get one press on pull and
6:55two presses in a burn window.
6:59That makes Font of Venomous Rage
7:01incredibly good for the fight profile of
7:04U'latek, just incredible for the fight.
7:07And it would be your best trinket if it
7:09wasn't for this and it did the number
7:11that it stated. Fact that it does 25%
7:13more
7:14astoundingly broken and everyone's going
7:15to want this.
7:19Now
7:20I am sorry that I am not releasing this
7:22video until Race World First is done. Uh
7:26this was something that was told to me
7:28in confidence and I do not want it to in
7:30any way impact or affect the race.
7:34I
7:35and many other people don't really want
7:37external information to come in and
7:39affect that. At the same time, I am not
7:41going to tell someone who is in charge
7:45of a lot of the simulations and does a
7:46lot of work on this
7:48that is an analyst for one of the guilds
7:51um to get this changed in the sims in
7:53advance either.
7:54Uh so in the meantime, I'm going to let
7:57this be and as soon as the race world
8:00first concludes, I'm going to come to my
8:02YouTube and release this video.
8:04Be whatever that is
8:06as I mentioned, I'm making this on the
8:08morning of August 27th. Um
8:11currently
8:12all three guilds are progging on Coiled
8:15Altar and Ulatek is going to be coming
8:18up where this would end up mattering.
8:21Thank you guys for watching.
