Thunder Lord Briv

Damn...
I think the time has come to finally spend those gems I have been saving up for a year. That feat is insanely sexy and 1000-1500 ilv, but then again that feat is gonna go live after 90 days. Any thoughts?

[Hecate]

Hmmm, remember that 20% extra sprint stacks only means 5-6 extra jumps, so it's not so essential and I don't consider it as insanely sexy*... But the ilvls come in top of that.

So that's really a "your plats, your choice" situation.

NB: *If they aren't capped, a pack for Melf or Tatyana can be way more beneficial to stack speed (and so stroinger than the time that extra 20% will save), especially in gem farm.

Wow I had no idea that 20% equals 5-6 more jumps. My Briv is already at 5k ilv, so I guess I hold on to my gems for now. Thx Hecate for the insight :)

Briv depletes 3.2% (or 4% without spec) of his stacks to make a jump, so the number of stacks needed grows exponentially to progress further (this is why scripters usually do areas ~800-850 run rather than areas ~1400, the stacking will be incredibly faster and so the bph amount will be better).

ie.
(with spec: 6 jumps will reduce stacks to) 0.968^6 = 0.823
(with feat for that 5 extra jumps) 0.823 × 1.2 = 0.987
(without spec: 5 jumps will reduce stacks to) 0.96^5 = 0.815
(with feat for that 5 extra jumps) 0.815 × 1.2 = 0.978

Results are below 1, that means the extra jumps from feat are covered, feat allows 4-5 extra jumps without spec and 5-6 with spec.

edit: coffee issue, fixed

Result is below 1, that means it's even a bit less that what I said, feat allows more 4-5 extra jumps than 5-6.

It's 4% reduced to 3,2%, is it not? And yeah, I see it :p

That perk MIGHT be neat, IF it goes into the green gem store. Guess I have some more time to stack up those premium gems :)

[Hecate]

Oh yeah, it's 4% reduced to 3.2%, not enough coffee for me. XD
I thought of 5% reduced to 4%, I'll correct it.

(6 jumps will reduce stacks to) 0.968^6 = 0.823
(with feat for that 5 extra jumps) 0.823 × 1.2 = 0.987
So it was effectively 5-6 extra jumps with spec and 4-5 without.

On Briv's feats tab, mouse over the "shop" button next to that feat, it will show you when the exclusivity period ends, when it will become available for gems.

Now if they'd just make Briv-scripting obsolete so a 3rd-party tool isn't 'best' way to play the game....
