Warrior stamina generation

Gawain

Dalayan Elder
Warriors don't deal with stamina loss. They deal with stamina generation. See Jumber's stated effect of stamina spells and worn effects on warriors:

[Fri Sep 27 20:55:48 2013] Admin-Slaar BROADCASTS, 'How does invigorate and Acumen Affect warrior endurAnce since they provide sta regen and warriors generate stamina etc etc?'
[Fri Sep 27 20:56:29 2013] Admin-Woldo BROADCASTS, 'That is not actually how stamina spells work.'
[Fri Sep 27 20:56:44 2013] Admin-Woldo BROADCASTS, 'They do not regenerate stamina, they take a &PCT; off of each tick of stamina drained.'
[Fri Sep 27 20:56:54 2013] Admin-Woldo BROADCASTS, 'So they make you lose stamina less quickly, which helps out everyone.'
[Fri Sep 27 20:57:51 2013] Admin-Woldo BROADCASTS, 'Actually that might not be the case for warriors.'
[Fri Sep 27 20:57:56 2013] Admin-Woldo BROADCASTS, 'Jumbers going to weigh in.'
[Fri Sep 27 20:58:12 2013] You[JUMBERS] broadcast, 'For warriors, stamina regeneration spells such as acumen increase the rate at which you gain endurance from combat, so having more will make your bar fill faster'

So I did testing today on warrior stamina generation with the following stamina related combinations:
No effects
Only worn acumen (item description decrease stamina loss by 5 percent)
Only worn Super acumen (item description decrease stamina loss by 8 percent)
Only Spell: Ancient: Sihala's Gift (spell parser description decrease stamina loss by 35)
Worn acumen + worn super acumen
Worn acumen + Sihala's
Worn super acumen + Sihala's
Worn acumen + worn super acumen + Sihala's

Here is the data:
Code:
Buffs on entire test: Relic focus, Raego, SSS, GoE, Rbow, relic: Legacy of blades.
Weapons: Unarmed
Against mob: a cave wyrm in Great Divide

verdict: gaining approximately 92/second

Summary of that:
Baseline of 77 stamina/second
Worn acumen increases to 79/second
Worn Super Acumen increases to 80/second
Sihala increases to 89/second
Sihala + worn acumen increases to 91/second
Sihala + worn super acumen increases to 92/second
Worn acumen + worn super acumen do not stack (expected result).

Take away:
Worn acumen / super acumen percentage increase ignores sihala in the calculation. This is shown by them giving 2 or 3 stamina/second increase regardless of the presence of sihala's.
Worn acumen / super acumen is not giving the 5%/8% increase generation whereas BST/RNG/PAL/SK/ROG theoretically do get 5%/8% less stamina use from the abilities. This may or may not be correct for the other classes and may or may not be intended; a developer would have to weigh in.
5% of my base 77 would be 3.85/second; 5% of the 89 after Sihala's would be 4.45 stamina/second.
8% of my base 77 would be 6.16/second; 8% after the 89 after Sihala's would be 7.12 stamina/second.
35% of my base 77 would be 26.95 stamina/second.

What I'm asking:
Is it intended for Worn Acumen, Super Acumen, and Sihala each to have so little effect for warriors when compared to the numbers on the spell parser?
Is it intended for Worn Acumen / Super Acumen to not take sihala's into consideration if it is indeed a percentage increase for warriors?
 
Unless something has changed, stamina rate reduction effects are and have always been additive, e.g. 35 + 8 = 43%, up to a cap of 50% (not 1.35 * 1.08 = 45.8%). They don't multiply each other's effects.

Other than that, yeah, the effects are intended to be "less" for warriors in as much as it doesn't apply to the whole delta value (change per second)... and in as much as the two rather different systems are the same.

While in combat, Warriors get:
* 1% of their total endurance per second.
* Up to 0.5% of their total endurance per second from stamina rate effects (50% => 0.5%, 35% => 0.35%, etc).
* 0.25% of their total endurance per second for having Codex of Melee Discipline completed.
* 1% of their total endurance per second while they are keeping something's aggro.
* Up to 0.5% of their total endurance per second for keeping aggro on additional targets (0.25% per, 2 additional targets max)
* +1 flat endurance per crit.

For example:
1% of 3420 endurance would be 34.2
0.35% of 3420 endurance (Sihala's) would be 11.97 => 34.2 + 11.97 = 46.17
Assuming you had aggro while testing, that would be another 34.2 => 46.17 + 34.2 = 80.37
An extra 0.25% for tome on top of that would be 8.55 => 80.37 + 8.55 = 88.92
At this point it would get truncated down to 88 since current endurance is stored as an integer with no rounding up and no overflow component.

If you just look at it in terms of how much it modifies the entire value, 0.5% might not seem like much. But with 2% as the "baseline" while tanking, the difference between no stamina rate effects and the cap of 0.5% is filling up your bar in 50 seconds versus filling it up in 40 seconds (100 / total%; 44.4 versus 36.36 seconds with tome -- the lower your total%, the more every little bit counts in absolute terms).
 
Awesome reply. Thank you Zaela. Having the numbers and calculation explained for the warrior system is a huge help.
 
I feel like there is also a sudden burst of endurance (5%? 10%?) you get for peeling aggro off of someone else (with a cooldown to prevent abuse) but I can't seem to find it...

But in any case, the idea was to reward warriors more for doing warrior stuff (tanking, fighting continuously) than for having certain buffs.

I'll try to remember to test this. Wouldn't be hard to see.
