Is there a way to see a summarized or cumulative skill effect?
Here’s a really basic example of what I mean:
If you take Grenado, you can see what it does at whatever level you selected on the skill tree. You can also go to the character window, drop grenado into a hotbar slot and see a tool-tip for what it’s doing there. If you take Skyfire Genado next, you’ll still be able to see both skills on the skill tree page, but the hotbar tool-tip only shows the effects of Grenado, unmodified by Skyfire, and I don’t think a modified version is shown anywhere else either.
In the case of Genado and Skyfire, that’s not a big deal. It’s pretty easy to picture how Skyfire effects Grenado in your head, just swap the physical damage for lightning. However, for longer or more nuanced skill chains it can be harder to picture the exact outcome, especially if you also want to take buffs and item effects into account.
Is there anywhere that displays what will actually happen when you go to trigger an ability, after modifying skills, buffs, items, and whatever else are taken into effect? If not, would it be possible to add such a display?
The only way to see these stats is in the game. I’ll just say that this won’t be implemented in the nearest future, maybe never. There’s a lot of unclear stuff related to actual values, how they scale with attack speed etc. The formulas are not known, plus I believe some skill lines use its own logic for dps calculation, so it’s just too much work for a very little value.
Once again I would like to thank you for creating and maintaining these tools. I think this has been suggested before, but would it be possible to add an option that would only show the highest level version of each prefix/suffix to the item search panel? It would make it a lot easier to search through a long list of affixes if the lower level versions could be filtered out.
It’s in my todo somewhere. It would’ve been much easier if affixes were structured in GD, so you can actually get top tier for each affix, but alas affixes are not tiered and affixes with the same name can exist for different slot types and even with the same name, but they may have nothing in common. So filtering by name and then by level is not really a correct way to do this, but probably the only one, which I don’t really like to be honest.
Filtering out affixes with a matching name and level less than the max level found for that name, would at least work well in the build calculator, when you are building a specific item, so affixes for other slots (that may have similar names) are all ready filtered out. Thanks for keeping it in mind.
Edit: Though there probably are some useful affixes that may get filtered out this way. Not a simple solve…
Okay, I got the advice to report this in the GrimTools thread so I hope I have the correct Grimtools thread.
Posting a link to the thread I had made is easier for explaining what I found out about the GrimTools calculator page. My first and second post ( especially the second post. ) will explain what I found.
