A) Why should I prove the cap Detonator cap for you? Those are the knowledge I gain through my own hard work and KParse. "make sure they update wiki", why would I do such a thing? It rather please me quite well knowing dimwits like you still take into account 100% of what wiki says.
B) 1 AGI does influence the actual Detonator's cap. But this would need to be balanced with the actual STR you have. It quite easy to measure all these values. All I have to do switch the Suppanomimi with Drone earring instead. Then continue the process for -2, -3, -4 AGI. Through this process you can easily figure it out.
C) Yes. You can clearly see Pot-au-feu vs Squid Sushi vs Subs. All you need is to have 2 Corsair with same build.(Which I happen to have). On avg you you gain additional 140dmg via Pot-au-feu over squid. But a avg out 250dmg with subs. This is taken into account 1 acc and 1 attack rolls. There is not Dia casted nor a Brd in the party.
D) If you have not even reach the cap, then you can not test out the difference in base dmg for Detonators. IF you did, you would realize the actual base dmg that would be needed to beat Martial Gun's Detonator with the 100% extra tp gained.
E)(Go read A) But FYI there IS a cap on Range Weapon skill.
Here is the reason why. I'll even go slow for you.
fSTR=(WeaponD/9)+8]*2
Marital= 57 (base dmg 39)
Coffinmaker= 58 (base dmg 40)
Eurytos' Bow=89 (base dmg 71)
Even though the Range Weapon and Ammo seem to counter each other from Guns to Bows
Marital 39 + Steel 70 = 109 total
Eurytos' Bow 71 + Demon Arrow 34 = 105.
But this wont matter since it goes off the fSTR, in this our value is 57,58,89. You can clearly see how the bow fSTR would gain a large bonus already.
Ok now lets compare Martial Gun on Great Birds to a level 1 Lizard. At 300tp. You would reach your max dmg. If your build and everything is consent. Now add Dia. Still the same. Now add berserk and warcry. Still the same. Bring a Drg friend over to Angon. Still the same.
Switch over to Coffinmaker with fSTR at 58 with 300tp. Dmg went up. Use it on Great bird to level 1 lizard. Dmg is consent over gain of Marital Gun.
We do not know the actual equation, but clearly there is a cap. "Why slug shot dmg is so high?", that is because the fSTR is calculated in a different way.
Now you pounder onto the idea "But was the gain worth it? holding that 100tp or just shotting it at 100%". This is why unless the base dmg of Corsair's new gun can adjust the fSTR to beat the Marital Gun's Damage Multipliers by .50. If not the Marital Gun would be better for Detonator
With that all, it explain why I can outperform 95% of the RNG's Sidewinder via Detonator. Like in Mamool Ja camp, Dynamis, Limbus, and Einherjar. If you do a Slugshot build to counter RNG's Sidewinder, they clearly have the edge on range attack/ ja/ jts. That and you will miss to. One who "Deals 1k+ dmg" and one that "can do" is two different story.
Talking about "simple math"-
Why don't you go and measure Quick Draw AF head from dmg 150-370. You soon realize that what wiki and what many other think about "Corsair's Tricorne Enhances Quick Draw base damage by 10." Is false.
This just show how much I know about my job. So please, gtfo. I challenged you on your actual numbers you produced and seen. But you just counter with "wiki" info. That is too weak for me.
With that
wait for it
wait for it
High five to the loser>>> You
