[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4753516, member: 71571"] I'm not going to dispute this information at all. I agree with it. What I disagree with is the idea that the '50/50' hit rate creates that sweet spot. In fact, given the damage presented by monsters according to all sources, a 50/50 attack rate would -not- present that sweet spot, and cannot. I fully agree with the 'sweet spot' theory, and the math shows it [B]cannot happen with a solid 50/50 attack rate.[/B] The mistake is thinking that the hit rate must remain constant over all levels. That is simply -not true- and cannot be true when player resources are constantly improving. If they wanted 50/50, then monster damage would scale with healing power (it doesn't), or at very least, with party hp (it doesn't). Summary: The 'Sweet Spot' isn't referring to having the same to-hit rate for monsters and players, and insinuating that it does when the very same math uses the term '[B]math and complexity[/B].' Complexity. That implies that it's not reduced to one number. [/QUOTE]
