Summoned Bear + HoW = ????

Hey guys. I'm pretty experienced druid player, but been experimenting more with summons lately.

Anyways what I am trying to figure out is how much damage the summoned bear really is doing when combined with HoW?

So say the bear on average is doing 2500 damage, and then the HoW is giving say +230% damage, how much damage is the bear actually doing thing? 6+k? or do I not understand exactly how this works?|||The way D2 math works is this: 100% ED is 2x. 200% ED is 3x. So if your HoW is giving 230%, your bear is dealing displayed damage 3.3x roughly. Factor in the hell damage reduction(I think, haven't played D2 in years, just getting it back recently) of 50%, and your bear is dealing 2500 x 3.3 x 0.5. The calculator eludes me at the moment, so I dunno what that comes out to.|||http://tph.tuwien.ac.at/~gottwald/dr...alculator.html|||wow.... so Windy Druid is better damage wise..... but i dunno... i been doing good in hell with my bear. Though i guess if i have troubles ill go back to being a wind druid.|||So my bear only does about 13000 dmg per second, 28600 AR though. With 20 might, 9 fanatism, level 45HoW.... and base damage is 6500ish.

I don't get it.|||What don't you get?|||Quote:




3: All pets wait 15 frames between each attack. This delay is included in the calculations of the damage per second (DPS).




Grizzly attacks roundabout once every second, which is why it's lower than you might expect.|||And ED stacks additively with the Bear's innate bonus so the damage increase isn't exponential.|||You could try out a multi aura build for your bear to have multiple effects. It is so funny to have how (main oak), fanat (use beast), thorns (bramble on merc), and might (merc aura) all activated at once. Your bear will be pwning hell with all those auras. Well it would be worth a test trying that out.|||Quote:

Oh that's right, the bear's damage is %ED mostly. I guess it would be different if it was a +dmg bonus.

Same thing would apply to skeletons sort of?
