      Is there any chance you could make a guide for Jing Wei like you did with Charybdis and Hiem?
      It seems like she’s clearly supposed to be a crit based hunter but it doesn’t seem like D-Deathbringer is that strong of an option since her 2 doesn’t affect it.

    consider doing a bunch of different videos on smite mechanics (like stats gained on level, stat caps, what affects movement speed, crowd controls and diminishing returns, etc etc).
    many of these things may be very simple or common knowledge relative to what youve performed in your existing videos, but youve got a nick for explaining things, and making an encyclopedia covering all the little stuff would be great for not only the smite community, but likely your channel, too.

  • @zacharyreiner415
    @zacharyreiner415 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I'm surprised you didn't touch on the fact that stacking damage sources aka yellow numbers is another way to maximize penetration. Kind of like how you split scaling and base damage for abilities. Adding on an item that creates another source has a similar effect. Also this makes me want to try buying potion of power early in more of my games.

    • @SmiteMaths
      @SmiteMaths  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi yeah I thought about that, yellow damage essentially just adds to the base damage yeah, I was baring in mind video length etc. and it takes me 10s of hours to edit so I’ve gotta be mindful of time efficiency, for smite 2 I might make like a 3 hour video about everything but for now I thought I’d just cover the essentials, thanks for the comment!

  • @Aequoris
    @Aequoris 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Worth noting that this is most important while facing enemy gods. It could be misleading to see this video and think "hey toxic blade is 15 flat pen and cheap! I should start that on Bellona solo and do way more damage than my opponent!" Minions (excluding oni and fire minions) have either no prots or very minimal prots, instead gaining percent damage reduction as the game goes on. Percent damage reduction isn't affected by pen, and you get way more damage to minions by building early power. (Also this is a PSA to every Hel I see using your dark stance 2 on the wave before hitting it. You're wasting your mana)

    • @SmiteMaths
      @SmiteMaths  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah I guess toxic blade is a very niche example of an item with flat pen and no power, although I can’t say how good/bad it is without doing the math, probably wouldn’t recommend toxic blade first yeah, noted for my next videos!

  • @ymir4552

    Now as a question: What does the actual full damage formula look like. As you showed a more expanded variant of the damage formula with the flat penetration section of the video
    By full formula I mean including Mitigation from items such as Oni Hunters, your pen values, the base damage+ scale amount+power and damage bonus like from Sacrificial shroud or Ravana Ultimate, I’ve never been able to find the actual full formula and I sorta would like to know it.

    Penatration is applied against scaling damage so therefore base damage + scaling = total damage then penatration is applied. So total damage is the only factor that matters.

    • @SmiteMaths
      @SmiteMaths  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Total damage is the only factor that matters, but total damage is determined by base damage + scaling, so by extension, these 2 things are important factors as well. If you take an extreme example of a god with no scaling on an ability, you would only want to buy penetration on that god and no power, conversely if you had a god with 0 base damage and 1000% scaling, you would only want to maximise power on that god. So total damage depends on what you build and the scaling + base components of abilities.
      This can also be determined by just looking at the maths behind “how much power you’d need to make up for flat penetration”, as these calculations depend on pen, power, scaling and base damage, so the maths is telling you what damage depends on and how these stats contribute to that damage

    my only curiosity is if you build both flat pen and percentage pen, which one gets calculated first when dealing damage, like 20 pen and 20% pen on a god. against a 100 proc god, would it be percentage first then flat or flat then percentage?
    EDIT: after a 10 second google search, percentage take priority first before flat pen.

    The amount of percent pen in the game is simply not okay.
    We had mitigation builds to counter it at one point, but the devs nerfed that into the ground.
    Couple defense items having ZERO power on them now, and the value of defense is essentially null.
    Your entire build being dedicated to defense to have most core damage items with percent pen on them causing them to bypass 75% of your entire build while also dealinf percent hp with items like soul reaver / qin's makes tanking feel bad.

      I thought about including mitigations, but because all mitigation items come with protections, it’s a bit harder to frame when exactly mitigations become most efficient over protections, and it also depends on how much pen the enemy has, it’s not really a massive topic and they’re not too complicated so I decided not to include them, but I’m making a part 2 of this video so I’ll include it then
