full havoc

lol full havoc is so overrated
today i got my full havoc (8 drones only )
only 500 dmg increase
i thought i will become op with full havoc lol

 

The main reason I got my havocs wasn't to hit more it was to look more scary

 

I wouldn't mess with a full hercules ship, i know i will not make a dent

 

I going to guess (and hope) that the 500 increase is just with your x1 damage. Something is seriously wrong if you are only hitting 5k on x4 before you got havoc

Havoc come into their own when you have everything else, like most things in this game, once you are UFE and then add an extra 10% onto your damage ... it makes quite a big difference.

 

yes thats my X1 dmg in an ageis will full lf3 ans 2 lf4 i hit 5k withour anything (sep or prom)

 

that factor come in handy lol as ufe hit other ageis first then mine turn lol
i escaped due to this

 

Lets See....


LF4 : 200 base dps, and drones at level 6 (exp leveling) give 10% bonus so each LF4 hits 200 + 10% = 220.

HAVOKS add 10% so lets go from here (10% bonus jumps to 20%)

220 Dps + 10% from havok = 242 a difference of 22 dps.

SO... 22 dps increase X 16LF4 (8 drones full of LF4) = 352 base dps increase...

now 352 X 1.6 (60% increase) for seprom = 563.2
now 563.2 X 1.1 (10%increase) for trade credit damage booster = 619.52
now 619.52 X 1.1 (10% increase) for damage skin ship = 681.47
now 681.47 X 1.1 (10% increase for shared damage booster = 741.62
now 741.62 X 1.06 ( 6% increase) for upgrading drones = 786.12
now 786.12 X 1.06 (6%increase) for upgrading LF4's = 833.28

843.28...hmmm

SO with 8 drones of lasers this is the max dps increase to lasers you can get I think. Remember this is just the increase from havoks with X1 ammo, then multiplied by all the percent increases that would effect the havok's original increase.

Right in between what we both initaly thought

Other increases to consider... BIO : either Head hunter or Alien bio add dps to other players and aliens, respectively.
Also.. drone formations that add damage to lasers (on aliens at least) like pincer? and bat I think ?

 

As Pie-In-The-Sky has done the maths, having havocs on a level 6 iris with level 16 upgrade equiped with level 16 LF4 and sepped, doubled boosted, fat lasers and firing RSB makes the 10% quite beefy!!

I have only one havoc tho, I hate gates so just buy RSB instead...

 

Yes havocs are over-rated. People think just because some has full havocs it's means they're basically OP, well they're not. What everyone tend to forget is havocs make a huge difference if one has a-lot of LF4's.

 

Warrior and Burkey you are both right, I knew it was not huge...but it was lower than I thought too ..I was suprised to see it was that low. I'm going for my hercs now : )

 

I'm not going to go into any statistics but from experience on GB1 when i was ufe i had full havoc's and full herc's, and personally it's shield over damage every day of the week for me.

Now on GE1 i don't have any plan on going for havoc's, if i go for any it will be herc's again.

 

I'm going for full Herc first. Having more shield and the HP from a full set will let you hit maybe 10 seconds longer? That's change a 10 second battle into a 20 second battle, where you'll do more damage overall.

 

AND the hercs give benefits from having only one...havoks u need the whole set...( hmm is there a gift exchange here in DO -_- ) ....10 havoks slightly used, great condition ... lolz

 

Full hercs give shield and HP so always going to be better to survive, only time havocs would come in use is 1v1 someone who is running from you
