DUST Search - 1.8 Sentinel Effective HP Calculations

Pokey Dravon wrote:

SCOPE
This document calculates the effective HP values of the upcoming Sentinel suits in Uprising 1.8. It calculates base damage for each weapon type, accounts for shield and armorGÇÖs natural resistances and weaknesses, and applies it to the dropsuitGÇÖs base HP.

ASSUMPTIONS
-Assumes Sentinel Skill is to Level 5
-Assumes no modules are used; these are base suit HP values
-Assumes no Damage modifiers are used
-Assumes data released by developers is final for 1.8
-Assumes Splash Damage is Explosive. Obviously Flux Grenades and other weapons have splash damage, but Explosive Splash will be the most commonly encountered.
-Assumes Shield and Armor skills to Level 5

CONCLUSION
Amarr clearly have the advantage in terms of base Effective HP. However, low shield HP means they will be reliant on repair tools for support unless they sacrifice armor plating for passive reps.

Gallente have the potential for the most armor HP but decent shield HP may encourage them to use armor repairers over plates for a full passive fit. They do however have the lowest damage output of all the sentinels.

Caldari will be AV monsters. With 4 high slots they have the highest damage output with strong shields for solo regeneration and decent armor as a backup. They will however suffer from lower EHP than Gallente or Amarr because shield extenders are not nearly as beneficial as armor plates.

Minmatar are the most flexible sentinel with 3 high slots for shield tanking, but 2 low slots and good base armor HP for armor tanking. Minmatar sentinels could choose for a very fast shield tanked fit, or a slower armor tanked fit with better damage output.

So, maxed stats, stacking complex plates and extenders, with no respect for fitting costs (aside from slots :D) I have not done the math but I think with the slot setups, the Amarr have the best balance of defense and offence. 3 lows allows them a significant amount of armor plating and the two highs give them the damage output they need without losing much to stacking penalties. I think this in itself will make the Amarr Sentinel a very flexible unit for deployment where minimal movement is required, such as defending and then assaulting from one objective to another that is nearby. The Gallente will probably have superior defenses if done right, slightly faster, but with less damage output. Their HP will be spread out more over shields and armor than Amarr, which could be a good or bad thing depending on what the enemy is using to attack. But to answer your question, high base EHP allows you to a little more flexibility because you can rely more on your base HP as buffer, but at the same time the sacrifice to speed is a big disadvantage. In the end it comes down entirely to what situation you're using said Sentinel in.. As for potential fits...haha thats waaay too many combinations for me to test.

Fair point. How do you think the Minmatar heavy will fare? With a lower eHP total, do you think it's speed will make up for it's eHP downfalls? Should we begin to fear the MInmatar speed tanked heavy with an HMG? Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face. Minmatar. In Rust we trust.

Minmatar suits have a reputation for requiring a unique play style that differs significantly from other suits of the same class. However I think once those select few master the speed tanked Minmatar Sentinel, they're going to be a force to be reckoned with. 1.8 Sentinels Damage Efficiency Effective HP

Well, re: Amarr, I have it on good authority that dual tanking is a sin. But honestly, it depends entirely on what happens with high slot modules. It might be that you're better off shield tanking your highs, assuming damage mods do get nerfed. To put it another way, there are very few heavies right now with more than 600 shields... Who knows, though. I might dabble with rechargers and regulators. Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters. Just let me get a couple mil more before nerf, CCP!

Well I started doing just the Complex Plates and Extenders, but if you're like me and like to skill into a suit for bonuses but only run low level gear, you would find the Militia and Standard useful as well. At that point I said hell with it and just did all of them I'd also love to be more involved in the game, so CPM is something I'm really considering when election time rolls around.

Virtual Riot The Vanguardians INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 126	Posted - 2014.01.22 16:45:00 - [28] - Quote I'm fairly certain your math in wrong. You're calculating resistances wrong. ex. Amarr Sentinel has 600 armor and 360 shield. With armor and shield at level five that gives you 800 armor and 480 shield Armor and shield bonus at level 5 is 25%. This is calculated thusly. Armor: (600 / .75) = 800 Shield: (480 / .75) = 480 The EHP of an Amarr suit against laser weaponry is calculated thusly. Armor: (800 / 0.8) = 1000 Shield: (480 / 1.2) = 400 EHP against laser weaponry is 1400, not 1050. Linky I would assume that your math is done by taking the base value, multiplying by the modifier, then adding it back to the base value. ex. Armor: (600 x 0.25) + 600 = 750 Shield: (360 x 0.25) + 360 = 450 Against lasers; Armor: (750 x 1.2) = 900 Shield: (450 x 0.8) = 360 for a total of 1260 against lasers. Idk because that's not even how you posted it, you posted it at 1050. Regardless you should double check your maths.
Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1686	Posted - 2014.01.22 18:17:00 - [29] - Quote You are correct that I did not include the +25% HP bonus, I'll fix that asap. I'm generally a vehicle guy and we no longer an HP bonus skill, so I honestly forgot that it existed. As for my math this is how I was doing it Damage Modifier = Natural Damage modifier * Skill modifier So Laser vs Shield on Minmatar DmgMod = 1.20.85 = 1.02 =102% This is basically the same as what you linked if we treat the damage bonus lasers get as a -20% resist Resistance = 1-[(1-(-.2))(1-.15)] = -0.02 Resistance So in that regard its the same. So here is my confusion is it: Effective HP = Base HP / Damage modifier EHP = 390/1.02 = 382.35 OR Effective HP = Base HP + Base HP * Resistance EHP = 390 + ( 390-.02) = 382.20 I went with the first one because I think the second is incorrect, for example if you resist 50% of the damage you take, your effective HP would be double right? EHP = 100 + (100 .5) = 150 =/= 200 By all means if I am wrong please correct me, I want to have a better understanding of this stuff anyways. For now I'll go back and add in the 25% to armor and shields and rework the calcs. 1.8 Sentinels Damage Efficiency Effective HP
Virtual Riot The Vanguardians INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 126	Posted - 2014.01.24 15:08:00 - [30] - Quote Hey yeah, looking at this thread again. I did a thread awhile back where I showed the ehp of drop ships. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=122219 I originally got it wrong by calculating it like this Say you had a dropship with 2000 shield hp Say you get hit with a forge gun that does 1000 damage Forge guns do -10% to shields. I was doing 1000 + (1000 x 0.10) = 1100 But really its done like this 1000 / 1.1 = 1111.11 So in conclusion; EHP = Base HP / (Modifier + 1) So for Laser vs Shield it would be EHP = Base HP / (0.20 + 1) For Laser vs Armor it would be EHP = Base HP / ( 1 - 0.20) Hope that helps

I did a thread awhile back where I showed the ehp of drop ships. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=122219 I originally got it wrong by calculating it like this Say you had a dropship with 2000 shield hp Say you get hit with a forge gun that does 1000 damage Forge guns do -10% to shields. I was doing 1000 + (1000 x 0.10) = 1100 But really its done like this 1000 / 1.1 = 1111.11 So in conclusion; EHP = Base HP / (Modifier + 1) So for Laser vs Shield it would be EHP = Base HP / (0.20 + 1) For Laser vs Armor it would be EHP = Base HP / ( 1 - 0.20) Hope that helps Yep seems I did get it right the first time, I just had forgotten those +25% HP skills. Thanks for the clarification! 1.8 Sentinels Damage Efficiency Effective HP

However, low shield HP means they will be reliant on repair tools for support unless they sacrifice armor plating for passive reps. Gallente have the potential for the most armor HP but decent shield HP may encourage them to use armor repairers over plates for a full passive fit. They do however have the lowest damage output of all the sentinels. Caldari will be AV monsters. With 4 high slots they have the highest damage output with strong shields for solo regeneration and decent armor as a backup. They will however suffer from lower EHP than Gallente or Amarr because shield extenders are not nearly as beneficial as armor plates. Minmatar are the most flexible sentinel with 3 high slots for shield tanking, but 2 low slots and good base armor HP for armor tanking. Minmatar sentinels could choose for a very fast shield tanked fit, or a slower armor tanked fit with better damage output. but amarr has more shield than gallente amarr lives to its name gallente still a worthy adversary MAG Raven, Valor, and S.V.E.R.

Cal's a forger, Gal's anti infantry and general purpose, Amarr is anti-heavy. What is Min? It's too slow to outflank and too squishy to tank. Maybe it's designed as a frontline assault? A vanguard, so to speak? ak.0 4 LYFE Large Missile Turrets: the real unicorns of DUST.
SPACE SYPHILIS Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 23	Posted - 2014.03.24 19:50:00 - [35] - Quote +1 Good job, but did you forget damage mods are getting nerfed and with stacking penalties anything past 1 complex is a waste of resources. So I would only use 1 damage mod per suit and the rest would be extenders. So what I come to a conclusion is armor tanking will be the king in 1.8 due to damage mod nerfs, weapon nerfs, and TTK has been raised due to such.
Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 1548	Posted - 2014.03.24 20:56:00 - [36] - Quote ive run some similar stat calculations with some personal tweeks to determine just how well each suit is at covering its weaknesses, and how much weapon proficiancy effects the playing field. from my calculations amaar is the BEST HMG wielding heavy. it will win all HMG fights between heavys if all other factors are equal. it can stack the BEST armor buffer in the game if repped by a logi the only 2 factors it loses out on are active reps that goes tot he gallante heavy stacking complex rep modules, and speed wich may or may not be important we have to see. and as usual the caldari can do anything, they may not be the best but they arnt far enough behind for it to matter. so for all situations where you dont have a logi sitting behind you the caldari wins out for best solo heavy.
