The various factors for THF

[JayDubya]

I'm going to add Two-Handed Fighting to my beta DPS calculator (PM me if you want the URL - it's GTWF only right now).

I have the base attack speed for various weapons, thanks to cforce. But I don't have a good understanding of the different proc rates for glancing blows. I specifically remember looking at a thread which discussed 30% proc rates for glancing blows, and then a 20% chance of elemental effects, but vicious effects were 100% of the time if you had Frenzied Barbarian. But I can't seem to find it now.

Can someone point me to any thread or post that discusses the 2HF "algorithms" as we know them?

Thanks!

I forget where, but i found the formula 0.3(base damage + 20) for glancing blow damage.

Vicious has been reported to be 100% proc rate...
Other effects im not too sure, but i think up to 20% can be expected for kensai/FB

You mean the vicious procs 100% on glancing blows? Ouch!

I think I had read posts that made me settle on 3% per...Feat/Enhancement/PrE...so WF is 9%, FB/Ken 9%, THF Feats 9% for 27%...and then Barbarian 20 gets another unspecified % as their capstone. Not very definitive, I know...

I'm pulling this one out of the Mad_Bombardier archives for the physical damage part of a glancing blow:

* BAB +0 to +10, Glancing Blow Dmg = Physical Damage / 5 (=20% of physical damage)
* BAB+11 to +15, Glancing Blow Dmg = Physical Damage / 4 (=25% of physical damage)
* BAB+16 to ..., Glancing Blow Dmg = Physical Damage / 3.33 (=30% of physical damage)

* THF feat adds +10 to the secondary Physical Damage roll, before division by the appropriate divisor.
* ImpTHF adds another +20 (total +30) to the secondary Physical Damage roll, before division.

Yeah that looks a bit better...
so for GTHF the formula would be 0.3333(Base damage + 30)

One thing to keep in mind is that 2h swords are being sped up to 2h axe speed with Mod 9.

Which cforce's list doesn't take into account.

[JayDubya]

yeah, I know about the change in weapon speed. I'm going to run everything off of the GreatAxe #s for my app.
