AMF to FB relationship. (in General)

Probably know but I decided to take advantage of untraining and do some tests. Got some pretty obvious results, but it may help tanks in preparing to go against tanks.
When AMF and FB are equal AMF casta at .50
When AMF is double FB then it casts at .74
When AMF is triple FB then casts at: .82
When AMF is quadruple then FB casts at: .86
When AMF is FIVE times larger then FB the FB casta at .89
Basically past doubling the AMF over the DD, you are wasting exp.
I will post in a few and see if MM, CoC, and decay have the same relationship.

yup, ~10x amf to DD ratio is needed for 1.00
BTW, exactly double is .75

Yeah those are rough. I didn't bother leveling off the extra exp from learning AMF.

Perhaps you could extend it and fill in the gaps which I am missing?
i.e. make a scale of AMF effect from 1% to 100% ?

hmmm I can actually. But I need someone to retrain a character with ( I would say) 100k DD spell. No armor!

I can do that easily.

If you would, make it and let me know the amount of xp in it. Then I will start testing. Exactly what values do you need?

Sakura has a base decay. so I was only off by x100 Bane :P
Dare I even ask if we have solid evidence that AMF effects all four DD spells equally?

I would say it does, though Decay's backfire has that whole halving thing going. So, Decay is definitely different in how it manifests itself. The application of AMF, however, appears to be consistent. Hidden differences would just cloud the "choice" issue, and in my experience, that is a hard-six that Jonathan doesn't roll.

What's x20?
20 times as high AMF as your opponent's DD?

re shade: yes
re mael:
Apollyon takes damage from his own Magic missile (121)!
Leviathin takes damage from his own Cone of cold (243)!
Those are equaled sized dd spells. So if I misintepreted you earlier, then you were correct. If I am misinterpreting you now, you are still correct. :)

Yes all DD spells are AMFed at the same level.
I made sure of that, especially with Decay.
AMF backlash formula is something like (I'm having trouble remembering it now!)
AMF% * 0.4 * DD Effect * Number of minions spell targets (1 or 5)
So at max 100% AMF, it will do at most 40% of your modified effect.
Decay is a little different
AMF% * 0.5 * Decay Casters HP at time of Casting

AMF backlash damage is indeed calculated differently.
