Comparing Boss Health and Damage Before & After The Final Shape

Gets Atraks’ pronoun right, but everyone still calls the Witness “he” instead of “it” hahaha

I just want to say that, ive been playing destiny on and off since around halfway through shadowkeep and i never really looked too much into optimiziation at all despite being really interested in it because it felt like there was no one doing this type of stuff, most content i saw was build videos on whatever the new hot thing was (which is great content, not bashing them), and never looked more into it tbh.

Now with salvations edge i saw your contest mode streams and the day 1 builds video, and when i saw the google doc i was FILLED with excitement and i cant say how much i LOVE your content and what you do, everything from the extremely interesting speedrun breakdowns, to damage calculations and conversations about the sandbox have helped me understand this game in a way i never was able to before (because to be quiet frank, d2 does a pretty poor job at giving you pretty significant details) which amplifies my enjoymend hundredfold, thank you so much to you and your team for testing all this data and making it so publicly available for everyone to learn and partake! Videos like these are so extremely exciting and interesting and i always felt like i would never be able to have this experience in d2 until i found your channel. Keep up the AMAZING work!

That's my GOAT

so ，we pretty much got a global 25% buff？

Im really impressed on how much i learned in this video

poor bastion!

They call him the Aegis Goat

As a Data Engineer, this whole thing is screaming to be put into a database and then have a front end like PowerBi run over the top. Similar to how D2Foundry dynamically adjust data based on inputs but with even more data.

What lead you to come up with your username and pfp?

I believe part of the answer is how much we could overlevel each activity.

For example Crota was a 1790 power boss (death screen).

GotD final boss was a 1810 power boss.

While legacy content, such as Oryx or Rhulk was a 1600 boss.

I believe legacy content allowed a higher power advantage than non legacy content.

Now everything is 1950 and the power deficit is the same for all activities.

So I've always believed that atrax gets a baked in damage multiplier while he's disappearing. So that's why people say to use your higher damage weapon second since shes disappearing and will have a damage multiplier. Is this not true?

Looking forward to the Ergo Sum video! Hard addict for those drops

you are the goat

Thanks for sharing ! You are the best

Unban me from panel

If they dont revert the -5 i dont see a lot of raiders coming back

Atrax is a weird hp bar, if you talk to a hacker you can do millions of damage of health to him solo and his hp bar will barely move. I dont think its a crit damage thing i think its relevant to how many people are damaging and what they're damaging him with as to what turns into real damage.

:3

Thank you for your work <3

Exactly what i needed. Thank you so much!

So i should be telling people not to use crit weapons on atraks

sanctified nearly having 10 mill is criminal. gg to garden farms

Bro points out how this video is a yap session like that isn’t the sole reason I watch your videos

Thank you vog shield

I wonder if the massively increased health pool for Crota was to compensate for sword buffs? That being said if this is the case it would just nerf any other strategy to be even worse compared to swords than they already were.

Not sure if I feel that negatively about the change though, just going to use Swords anyway

Hey Aegis, when I try to make copies of your spreadsheets, it tells me I need access. I've never experienced this before, I'm not really sure if it's something on your end or not but figured I'd say something, its been happening for a while now and I just assumed you didn't want it being copied.

Crota xeno damage is less in tfs yet boss health up by 34% is just inexplicable

Sheet is out! bungie devs can finally start balancing.

Do the effective health changes apply to Master as well? or since those had higher Recommended Power then not as much??

It's a lot to take in all at once for me, so I'm only about halfway through.

I appreciate you coming back and correcting things, and explaining what you change and why. Things like the crit modifier for Riven and stuff like that.

Also just thanks again for the work you and your helpers put into making these resources for the rest of us!

This is complete conjecture, but my guess as to why damage values for Kell Echo is doubled might have to do with the fact that you are teleported to an entirely separate area during the fight. When this happens, its not uncommon for devs to make a copy of the boss thats present in both areas instead of moving a single one back and forth. Then you just link the two together so that any damage dealt to one is dealt to the other, effectively doubling your damage dealt.

testing methodology changes should really be mentioned in the sheet somewhere if they aren't already
i 100% would have though shotguns got buffed if i didn't have this on in the background while doing other work

Commento for the Algo

Aegis, I don’t see anyone talking about how Ergo Sum gives Wolfpack rounds to rocket launchers as well as swords. Not sure how it changes team rotations but I know for solo players it lets their rockets do more damage

On root 2-3 skip when you get at the secret chest room what is the best spot to skate from because the slammer has to much speed and so you can't skate from on top of it unless you hit a specific angle so it s not rly that consistent

I love this. You explain the data and how you collected and calculated everything very well. Keep at it.

I have a question that I can't find the answer for how much more damage does an adaptive frame do over an vortex frame on a sword?

Feels like a swan song for meme raid runs 😭

I was the one who told you about Caiatl's crit, lmao. It's a fairly simple equation, where she increases the crit bonus by 50%. So if a weapon does 100 body and 200 crit, you add 50% of the bonus, and Caiatl takes 250 crit. izanagi, Whisper, and DARCI get a giant bonus, because they have giant crit ratios.

Fascinating bit at the end, I'll try and take a look at the data soon.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE work as always. I LOVE these numbers and deeply appreciate the effort you put in for this community ❤

Edit: Also, thank you for clarifying so much about the health changes between numbers, effective health, and multipliers. I’m glad that the changes are not as bad as they originally seemed.

Will there be a new shopping list for this season and/or endgame analysis on current guns?

AEGIS YOU ARE SO AWESOME, HOW IS BRO FOLLOWING THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IN DESTINY

Hi, just wondering if I'm not on Hunter, which exotic sniper comes out on top, Still Hunt or Cloudstrike?

One thing I'm still unsure on is the damage we receive now, since the twab only had the red bar damage output. it could be me just misremembering , but I still feel like I'm taking more damage specifically from bosses. I can't find anything talking about it. Also, what's with all the people saying dungeon bosses are taking way longer now? If anything, most of them should be quicker, surely?

Such incredible and thorough work, thank you!
