Ragnarok Level 13

Finally... a level where Ragnarok's power didn't skyrocket. That's not to say he's not still powerful. I have to put him up against level+2 challenges (that is, monsters of level +5, 2, 4, 2, and 3) in order to get survivability down to mid-range.

Not much happened at this level. The level 13 stat boost had a small effect. The Casque of Tactics had a very small impact, and the new Anvil of Doom power actually had no observable effect at all. Even though it's very powerful, it rarely hits at these levels, so most of the time it just dishes out Hammer Rhythm's static miss damage.

Here are the incremental results. I bumped the monster levels way up--to +[6, 4, 5, 3, 4]--so we could see changes. (These results are before I changed the Soldier's encounter attack to recharge.)

Code:

Level 12 Ragnarok (vs. Level 13 challenges): 32.6% +/- 2.9% (challenge 2) or 79.9% +/- 2.5% (challenge 1) or 96.8% +/- 1.1% (challenge 0)
Add level 13: 41.7% +/- 3.1%
Add Casque of Tactics (Paragon): 43.2% +/- 3.1%
Replace Distracting Spate with Anvil of Doom: 43.1% +/- 3.1%

I've done something a bit different with the level-by-level results this time. The steady increase in power was making it too difficult to see results for every level, so I increase the challenge level by 1 for each half-tier. I also changed the Soldier's encounter attack to recharge on a 5 and 6 as Keterys suggested.

These two changes together leveled out the results nicely. Survivability is still rising over time (!), but it's not so dramatic now. Just keep in mind as you're reviewing the results that each half-tier represents a full level of added capability over the tier before it.

Code:

Base challenge: level + [3, 0, 2, 0, 1]

Level 1 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 12.1% +/- 2.0% survival (4.6 rounds) @ 491.7t/s
Level 2 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 31.0% +/- 2.9% survival (6.3 rounds) @ 457.2t/s
Level 3 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 13.1% +/- 2.1% survival (7.6 rounds) @ 458.4t/s
Level 4 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 24.8% +/- 2.7% survival (6.4 rounds) @ 427.0t/s
Level 5 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 24.0% +/- 2.6% survival (6.9 rounds) @ 402.6t/s
Level 6 Ragnarok vs. Base+1: 21.2% +/- 2.5% survival (9.3 rounds) @ 395.6t/s
Level 7 Ragnarok vs. Base+1: 18.6% +/- 2.4% survival (9.0 rounds) @ 389.8t/s
Level 8 Ragnarok vs. Base+1: 46.3% +/- 3.1% survival (9.1 rounds) @ 347.9t/s
Level 9 Ragnarok vs. Base+1: 27.2% +/- 2.8% survival (9.2 rounds) @ 345.5t/s
Level 10 Ragnarok vs. Base+1: 33.8% +/- 2.9% survival (10.3 rounds) @ 325.5t/s
Level 11 Ragnarok vs. Base+2: 57.1% +/- 3.1% survival (10.5 rounds) @ 302.0t/s
Level 12 Ragnarok vs. Base+2: 82.5% +/- 2.4% survival (9.5 rounds) @ 280.8t/s
Level 13 Ragnarok vs. Base+2: 57.4% +/- 3.1% survival (10.5 rounds) @ 296.2t/s

And the detailed results, vs. +[5, 2, 4, 2, 3] to match the level-by-level results:

Ragnarok Level 13

Thanks for doing all the hard work on Ragnarok's build. I just took a look at what's coming up and I noticed that War Ring (Paragon) is on there twice--at 17th and 19th level.

Yeah, much like the casque of tactics there are certain items that are on there because there's really nothing much better available. There were several more options when I had on dragon and av2 stuff

The Casque of Tactics had a very small impact, and the new Anvil of Doom power actually had no observable effect at all. Even though it's very powerful, it rarely hits at these levels, so most of the time it just dishes out Hammer Rhythm's static miss damage.

I think this makes the "Expertise feats fix math bug" argument.

Notice the generally increasing combat length? I personally think that's a bug. (And yes, I want monsters to do more damage too...so you can get reasonable risk along with reasonable combat length)

I don't see how it proves any argument whatsoever one way or the other. The main thing that this exercise seems to have demonstrated overall is that survivability has a pretty steep curve where it is VERY high until the monster hits a certain point at which it drops to a much lower threshold. Notice the one 82.5% outlier in there at level 12. This would be a level where the PC went over the "hump" from being rather unlikely to kill the enemy to very likely to kill him. Its a fine line.

Given that at level 13 the proposed broken math has not even really kicked in yet and doesn't until more like around 16th level and up its really conclusive of nothing. Its going to be tricky actually to know the best way to illustrate it. The monster level to PC level increases at half-tiers may in fact actually make it harder to see. I'm sure Truename will test out a few different scenarios on that score as he goes on up into epic and we'll see what falls out. So far not much at all can be concluded about the initial question but he has discovered a few interesting gems along the way, which is pretty cool.

Anvil of Doom missing is a result of the high level at which I ran the tests, and the increasing combat length is due to the auto-scaling challenge level. The non-scaling progression isn't so dramatic:

Code:

Base challenge: level + [3, 0, 2, 0, 1]

Level 1 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 13.6% +/- 2.1% survival (4.6 rounds) @ 491.2t/s
Level 2 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 27.1% +/- 2.8% survival (6.4 rounds) @ 456.8t/s
Level 3 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 14.6% +/- 2.2% survival (7.5 rounds) @ 458.6t/s
Level 4 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 25.8% +/- 2.7% survival (6.4 rounds) @ 426.0t/s
Level 5 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 23.7% +/- 2.6% survival (6.8 rounds) @ 401.4t/s
Level 6 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 63.8% +/- 3.0% survival (8.3 rounds) @ 381.7t/s
Level 7 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 55.2% +/- 3.1% survival (8.1 rounds) @ 373.3t/s
Level 8 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 79.0% +/- 2.5% survival (7.9 rounds) @ 347.8t/s
Level 9 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 68.7% +/- 2.9% survival (8.2 rounds) @ 320.0t/s
Level 10 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 78.3% +/- 2.6% survival (9.2 rounds) @ 320.1t/s
Level 11 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 98.6% +/- 0.7% survival (8.2 rounds) @ 285.8t/s
Level 12 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 99.9% +/- 0.2% survival (7.4 rounds) @ 266.6t/s
Level 13 Ragnarok vs. Base+0: 98.9% +/- 0.6% survival (8.3 rounds) @ 273.0t/s

At any rate, the question we're analyzing right now is whether the to-hit/AC discrepancy affects survivability, not combat length. No fair changing the rules midstream.

I'd be running different tests if that was what we were examining.

We _know_ that to-hit affects survivability already. That's mathematically demonstrable.

It also isn't particularly interesting. The other results so far are far more interesting

It'll be funny switching to a soldier that goes after Reflex (at -2 to hit) at some point to see how much of a difference that makes. Given how this guy's AC is leaps away from his Reflex.

Oh, come on. Do I really have to say the whole thing again?

Truename said:
A trivial analysis of the math says that survivability should steadily drop as character level increases, and that adding Expertise feats would fix the problem. The counter-argument is that powers, feats, paragon paths, epic destinies, and magic items make up the difference.

So, the questions we're answering: "Does survivability drop significantly from level 1 to 30 when using a pre-Expertise build?" and "If it survivability drops, does Expertise 'fix' it by making survivability rates level? If it doesn't, does Expertise 'break' it by making survivability rates increase from level 1 to 30?" For the sake of argument, my hypothesis is "no" and "no."

Permit me some shorthand. :hmm:

Well, I agree with you there. I've been thinking about coding up a "fun factor" metric that drops every time Ragnarok misses in a round. The longer the combat, or the more often he misses, the lower the metric. I would expect it to go down over time.

I've held off on it because it's not the main question right now, and also the sim isn't geared to track that sort of global metric. Might be interesting to put in after the first run is done, though.

It'll be funny switching to a soldier that goes after Reflex (at -2 to hit) at some point to see how much of a difference that makes. Given how this guy's AC is leaps away from his Reflex.

Yeah, seeing the results so far really makes me look forward to seeing how real monsters and a 5-on-5 sim change things. Because this constantly-increasing survivability is ridiculous. Although it could reflect real-world play to a degree, judging from my experience up through level 10 and the "Epic level" thread currently going on in the General forum.

keterys · Jan 4, 2010

Survivability and chance to hit are _very_ different things, even if chance to hit is in fact one of the many factors for survivability. If no one in a sample group successfully commits suicide, it doesn't mean that no one in the group is depressed.

I mean, one of the things I've been interested in is seeing the difference in damage taken and mitigated, as well as how much it truly matters to have healing resources available. So far I'm feeling fairly vindicated that monster damage can safely be increased, for some creatures I'm designing.

I've also been interested in your own reaction to the survivability metrics of increasing the levels of the creatures. I think that's actually an extraordinarily standard DM response, and it's something that increases the number of misses by the PC, marginalizes the player defenses, and increases the length of the combat. None of which I'd consider a good thing.

AbdulAlhazred · Jan 4, 2010

Well, I certainly concur with the notion that survivability increases considerably between level 1 and mid-to-high heroic tier. 4e level 1 characters are a LOT less likely to die due to a bad die roll than in previous Es but its not too hard to make a mistake and/or have a short run of bad luck get you killed, plus you have a very limited set of daily "fix this mess" options before 5th level.

So the initial low and ramping up survival at the start is pretty much what I'd expect. The ever increasing survival seems reasonable as well since I think the lone monster is a lot more disadvantaged than the lone PC. I would not have expected to see equal level survival odds worse than 95% anyway at most levels since much below that and you're going to be needing a HECK of a lot of Raise Dead over the course of a campaign. Even at 95% you'll probably die 4 or more times in 30 levels.
