Raven chance to hit & mercaneries

So raven attack get’s AR checked right?
And raven to not benefit from auras so… Is the Act 1 merc with inner sight the best druid summon merc? Anyone tried the combination yet?

Plus edge bows are cheap and got thorns for the pack and stops monster regeneration for everything except übers.

Edit: hm i checked again the AR of the raven skill and it’s a percantage - of what? The druid base AR? Does that mean pushing dex let raven hit more?

Raven AR has a formula.

85+15*Raven_Slvl+MonLvl

where MonLvl comes from this table:

https://github.com/fabd/diablo2/blob/master/code/d2_113_data/MonLvl.txt

where the lvl of Raven is slvl + clvl - 2, as stated here(under “Level”)

https://theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Attack#Chance_to_hit

So you first calculate the lvl, and with that number you search in the MonLvl.txt and find the MonLvl value, and put it into the first formulae. That’s what I heard.

Dex does not affect.

Raven does not benefit from aura or +ed, but will benefit from curses on enemies when it reduces the defence/physical resistance. So, Decrepify, Amplify Damage, etc, can benefit raven damage.

Inner sight will reduce defence right? So it will benefit Raven and helps it to hit more. But, I think the clvl plays more part.

% Chance to hit = 100 * 2 * (alvl / (alvl+dlvl) ) * (AR / (AR+DR) )

where dlvl = defencer lvl, DR = defence rating(defence). alvl and dlvl are more important than AR and DR.

Amazon Basin is working??

In my opinion yes, the act 1 (fire) from the many hours of play testing I did was most beneficial. You pointed out some of the why. Also, it shoots over your summons was one you didn’t mention.

Apparently it is working, and in my opinion it’s the best source for game mechanism.

That is correct, however to open it from EU I have to use some USA proxy, which sucks.

Really? I am in EU and I can open it; as though sometimes it’s a little bit slow, but it works. Like got lag of 3~5 sec. But never unavailable.

doesn’t work for me. but it’s all saved on wayback machine. so i usually look up amazon basin there.
