RE: Phalanx New Patch Notes (from 8/15/22)

If now the phalanx affixes are active and the Enforcer gem can be applied, then our new damage increase should look as follows:

60% from helm of Kassar (in cube) + 60% from the shield = 120% (2.2)
15% from helm of Akkhan + 15% from boots of Akkhan = 30% (1.3)
60% from the Enforcer gem (1.6)

Damage incrase: 2.2 * 1.3 * 1.6 = 4.576 = 457.6%…that’s a bit over 9 GR levels.

Could someone verify if my understanding of the math here is correct?

If I’m not mistaken, Shiled is with Helm and Boots. Kassar and Enforcer are isolated.

60% from helm of Kassar (in cube) = (1.6)
60% from the shield + 15% from helm of Akkhan + 15% from boots of Akkhan = 90% (1.9)
60% from the Enforcer gem = (1.6)

Damage incrase: 1.6 * 1.9 * 1.6 = 4.864 = 486.4%…that’s a bit over 11 GR levels.

Cool. If none of those bonuses were working in PTR prior to the upcoming new patch, then this is going to be quite a boost!

Although, per numbers which you provided, I am getting 10+ levels, not 11+. Either way, a significant boost. Let’s see what this looks like when it goes live.

Refer to this post to get a sense of the changes on Bowmen and Shield Bearers:
