Paralyze Proc

lol why all the convert hate? with good gear and 8/8 enfeeb merits those accuracy ones are helping you a lot less than knocking a substantial chunk of time off convert

idk why rdm soloing is the end all be all of everyones idea of rdm

in lowman events, I'm not sure who wouldnt want faster converts? soloing faust, zipacna, ixaerns, despot, and SCNM monsters are cool stories, bro but dont you have any friends?

Please, stop being so naive. 8/8 Enfeebling merits and good gear doesn't win the internet. It takes way more than that on anything worth soloing.

No wind merits or even a wind grip and I have no problems graving anything I've tried to solo. Converting earlier is vital(Atleast for those of us without Dchaps and refresh bodies lol)and speeds up kills.

The slow effect from Slow II caps at 39%, depending on the number of merits involved and the value (Caster's MND - Target's MND).

As with reaching the cap on Slow II, the chance for Paralyze II to "proc" increases as the ratio of user MND to target MND increases.

=( I got 5/5 ._. Mainly because I only really used RDM for meripo back then. Now I use it for everything and solo a lot, might be time to bite the bullet and take them off.

you mentioned soloing 2 times? are you high?

try salvaging as rdm someday!

well I think not meriting 5/5 phalanx2 comes down to laziness or not career rdming, so leave it to someone who cares if you dont!

theres a lot more to this game and life than saying you kited a mob around a pool or teleporter for 2 hours by yourself

bro but dont you have any friends?

I'm 12 and woooooooooooooooodum is a big fagggot

WHY WOULD YOU EDIT MY POST TO DISPLAY SUCH VULGARITY

GOOD DAY, SIR

and in my experience with a buff mnd build, para1 is just the same if not better than 2, definitely not worth meriting~

I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR

all I've found soloing to be was manipulating the AI of the game and blink casting.. if you can do those two things you can do anything kited, but I never tried cactrot rapido or vivian etc




and it says its similar for para2 casters MND- mob's MND




quote incompetent :(

so from reading this it sounds like Para2 capped would be incredibly useful on what stuff you could stick para on

"So since everybody has been asking for Paralyze test results and I've been curious myself (For merit distribution in light of the Slow II tests).

I have preformed extremely simple tests in a short amount of time to get a general idea of what the "soft cap" is.

Tests were done in East Ronfaure [S] on Too Weak Ladybugs by counting the amount of times a Ladybug was paralyzed out of the total amount of times it attacked.

No MND gear and full MND gear yielded the same result (As expected from a Too Weak mob).

10 DIFFERENT (Killed them after the first Paralyze II wore off to avoid building resistance) Ladybugs had Paralyze II cast on them. The proc rate was as follows:

Test 1-5 were done with no gear at all
Test 6-10 were done with full MND gear

Test 1: 39%
Test 2: 31%
Test 3: 18%
Test 4: 33%
Test 5: 34%
Test 6: 36%
Test 7: 40%
Test 8: 23%
Test 9: 28%
Test 10: 37%

This leads me to believe the proc rate "cap" is around 40%. Obviously you can get some freak of nature tests and get a 50%-60% proc rate but this is highly unlikely.

This got me thinking about what the proc rate for Paralyze I was. So I tested with the same method as above.

Only 5 Tests were done (Mainly because I don't plan on using it and I didn't care that much)

Test 1 & 2 were done with no gear
Test 3-5 were done with full MND gear

Test 1: 17%
Test 2: 18%
Test 3: 17%
Test 4: 19%
Test 5: 19%

Probably get a capped proc rate of 20% with Paralyze I (Again, expect some freaks of nature due to the random nature of Paralyze in general).

I will test later on the highest level Aerns in sea in a couple hours to see what kind of results I can get on tougher mobs.

If anybody can suggest a better testing method, I'm all for it. But I hope this gives some RDMs some peace of mind knowing that Paralyze II is about 15-20% better than Paralyze I

[09:53] ringthreetheicp: Can I ask you a question and you can help me see what test would be best to look for significance?
[09:54] ringthreetheicp: If you are busy don't worry about it.
[09:54] Paul: in social science research, it is generally defined in such a way as to say that there is 95% likelihood that differences in the independent variable are responsible for differences in the dependent variable
[09:54] Paul: sure describe the situation
[09:54] ringthreetheicp: Ok, this is game related.
[09:55] ringthreetheicp: A player casts a spell on a monster that has a chance to prevent that monster from acting.
[10:02] ringthreetheicp: The first spell is cast ten times, with the spell procing 39%, 31%, 18%, 33%, 34%, 36%, 40%, 23%, 28% and 37% of the time for each test respectively.
[10:04] ringthreetheicp: A second different spell with a similar effect is cast 5 times, with the spell procing 17%, 18%, 17%, 19%, 19% of the time for each test respectively.
[10:04] ringthreetheicp: Is there a way to tell if the first and second spell have a statistical significance in their chance to proc?
[10:05] Paul: can you collect more data?
[10:07] Paul: with a t-test, one of the assumptions is that you have equal sized groups
[10:07] Paul: but it is fairly robust to that assumption
[10:07] Paul: let me run the numbers
[10:09] Paul: ok-- so i conducted an independent sample t-test
[10:10] Paul: for an indepedent sample t-test, you want the two groups to have equal variance, so first I conducted Levene's test for equality of variances
[10:11] Paul: with an F of 6.479, p=.024, we can say that they are close enough
[10:11] Paul: now, in the first group, the average was 31.9%
[10:11] Paul: in the second group, the average was 18%
[10:12] Paul: with 13 degrees of freedom, the t value is 4.281, significant at p < .001
[10:12] Paul: which means, the odds that the difference occured due to chance is less than .1%
[10:13] Paul: i.e., highly statistically significant
[10:14] Paul: the t-test is useful for comparing means, but there are other differences between the two groups
[10:14] Paul: the first has a standard deviation of over 7, while the latter has standard devation of 1
[10:15] Paul: this means that there is a much higher degree of variability in the first group -- although it appears that only a few times out of a hundred would that first group be as low as the second group
[10:16] Paul: perhaps less than that, if, for example, there is a programmed lower limit to its effect
[10:16] ringthreetheicp: Ok, cool. Is there a different test we could use that would be better than a t-test for this?
[10:16] Paul: nevertheless, the second item is highly consistent, so it averages 18%, and then 2/3 of the time it will be between 17 and 19
[10:16] Paul: no, the t-test is just fine for this
[10:16] ringthreetheicp: Ok, cool.
[10:17] ringthreetheicp: Pure spectualation on my part, but I believe the lower spell has a lower cap, and the higher spell has a higher cap but with a higher level of variation.
[10:18] Paul: yeah thats what the data indicate
[10:18] Paul: but if there was more data, you might be able to make stronger inferences
[10:19] ringthreetheicp: What would you want for those tests?
[10:24] ringthreetheicp: Busy?
[10:24] ringthreetheicp: Just need equal results or how many more tests would you want?
[10:25] Paul: well i would say that if you found more results that generally confirmed what you already have, you arent going to get a different result
[10:25] Paul: and you don't need a 'stronger' result, as the result is quite strong
[10:26] Paul: but if you find something which contradicts the assumption, then that plus all the rest of the data in the intererim can help determine if its an abberation or if the assumption is in fact mistaken
