on live servers damage add buffs used to stack, will we see this feature on uthgard?

Fiskgrodan's post reminded me to ask:

What will the radius be (from the caster to hit their group members) for:
Group Purge
Bunker of Faith
Brilliant Aura of Deflection
Ameliorating Melodies
Speed of Sound

I remember back with old RAs on live that Necromancers would use their grouped cleric buffbot for Bunker of Faith while their buffbot was still at the portal keep or entrance to DF, so I'm wondering what the research has uncovered for their ranges.

Will bleeding from styles break mezz and/or root?

will there be a lvl 43 and lvl 44 dd (2 red ones to use at the same time) in the battlesongs skill-line of the skald class?
with what damage add can you compare the "anger of the gods" ra on lvl 50? how many % extra damage will it give?

on live servers the hibernian molochian tempter spot in darkness falls was at instant respawn (corner room from rocots to naburite)
will we see this finally on uthgard 2.0?

How will the epic armor quests look like? Will we have just to kill one mob again, or have the steps to it been researched?

What about the look of epic armor? Will it have a special skin like on uthgard 1.0?

Will defense modifiers that styles have (bonus/malus) be implemented? And if yes, how do they influence defense penetration?

How will the name pre-reserve system get to work?

CHOJIN wrote:1. Will auto-train be enabled?/How will auto-train work?

1. Autotrain will work as it did on Uthgard 1.0: If you want to get it, you are not allowed to have the skill specced at the time of leveling up to a certain level (8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48). You can spec the skill between the autotrain levels though, as long as you use respec stones right before you would gain another AT point.

CHOJIN wrote:2. Will Midgard sword style Ragnarok be a back-style snare, or back-style attack speed debuff?

2. As per 1.65, Ragnarok had an haste debuff lasting 20 seconds.

CHOJIN wrote:3. What is the block formula?

3. I cannot say if the following formula is official. But i think it is:
br = 5 + (((dex * 2) - 100) / 40) + (shieldspec / 2) + level_of_MoB * 3
where shieldspec can include your template and realmrank (no skill cap at 50)
I am not really sure of the blocking cap in PvE and PvM, but i afaik it would be 75% pvp and unlimited in pve.
Consider that your actual blocking rate is reduced by the attacker's defense penetration.

CHOJIN wrote:4. Will shield styles to-hit be based on dexterity or on weaponskill or both?

4. If you and your enemy both used the Enchanter to give your weapon and your armorparts 35% bonus, the base rate to miss a same level target lies at 10%. This rate can be worse if you have less than 75% of your level specced (38 at level 50), where +skill on armor or realmrank is considered. But this rate can also be better when you use styles with to-hit bonus: If you use a style with medium bonus, you shouldn't miss at all. Slam has no bonus though. (side note: this 75% rule applies to slash/thrust/crush on Albion Twohanded and Polearm)

If your last question actually intended to include getting your shield style parried/blocked/evaded, then you actually meant Defense Penetration: Weaponskill doesn't mean anything for that, its only a display nice to have. Defense Penetration is determined by the Damage Table tier of your class, the total skill in your weapon (shield with bonus here), and the primary stat of the weapon (dex here), and the Damage Table tier of your enemy. The Weaponskill indicator which you can see in your UI is based on the same variables, but the formula is a different one than Defpen, which can grow differently even when having the same Weaponskill: Having a 20% higher weaponskill number than someone else does not mean your defpen is 20% higher too!

(side note: In fact the defpen is very concealed and regarded as a state secret. But they hired a mathematician to develop an original uthgard formula that mimics the behavior on the live servers, based on hundred's of chatlogs with hourly length.)

Block cap pvp is smalm shield one wepon hit at the same time. 2 form edium and 3 for large ( ie 2 dual wielders hitting at the same frame. One weapon will allways go through) on guard that mechanic is diffrent (size doesnt matter) but there is a hardcap at about 50 mobs at the same time where your blockrate drops to almost 0 (tested on live at stygia caravans almost 100% then 0 after 2-3 more came)
