Delay formula doesnt seem to work

[Moonpaw]

i put in the following formula in the delay column (not to be confused with perdelay)) of multiple shot: max( 8 – (stat(2.accr) / 500), 0)
stat(2.accr) is your total dexterity with bonuses (i presume).

So you would think with 4000 dexterity the delay would be 0 (8 - (4000/500)) (no delay), but strangely there is always a delay. I even put in max( 8 – 8), 0) just to test it, but there is still a delay.
If i just put in 0 there is no delay, like intended.
Im playing game version 1.10

What am i doing wrong? what am i overlooking?


My goal is that with your main stat you can lower the delay of some of your skills.

I figured it all out. The max(#,#) function is {filtered} retarded.
it takes any number in the expression thats the highest and returns that
max((500-400),125) returns....125? No, 400? No, it returns 500. CAUSE ITS {filtered} {filtered}

what exactly are you putting in the formula? can you post it here? In your example, you are missing ' symbols before and after the stat name.

Some calcs do not like zero as output. I would suggest to put +1 to the end of formula. just for safety.

I remember skill berserk has long formulae with min(.....) but never tried to calculate it by hand.
IMO it is too complicated to just calculate something that is shorter than 75 frames. They could replace it with diminishing returns and it would have the same output

I'm not sure if it is just me but the diablo 2 version on of min() and max() seems to be incredibly sensitive to the number of brackets. I have a number of formulae that use min and max, even nested min and max. Watch the brackets.

IE While there is nothing illogical about max((500-400),150), it seems to fail but max((500-400),(150)) will work. IDK why.
