What exactly does Amplification do?

#1 Post by Parcae2 »

The description says that it increases feedback gain by a fixed percentage, but also that the amount scales with Mindpower. I don't see how those things can both be true.

Code: Select all

newTalent{
	name = "Amplification",
	type = {"psionic/feedback", 3},
	points = 5,
	require = psi_wil_req3,
	mode = "passive",
	-- 	called by _M:onTakeHit in mod.class.Actor.lua
	getFeedbackGain = function(self, t)
		if self:getTalentLevel(t) <= 0 then return 0 end
		return self:combatTalentScale(t, 0.15, 0.5, 0.75)
	end,
	getMaxFeedback = function(self, t) return self:getTalentLevelRaw(t) * 10 end,
	on_learn = function(self, t)
		self:incMaxFeedback(10)
	end,
	on_unlearn = function(self, t)
		self:incMaxFeedback(-10)
	end,
	info = function(self, t)
		local max_feedback = t.getMaxFeedback(self, t)
		local gain = t.getFeedbackGain(self, t)
		return ([[Increases your maximum Feedback by %d, and increases your base Feedback gain ratio to %d%%.
		The Feedback gain will scale with your Mindpower.]]):format(max_feedback, gain * 100)
	end,
	info = function(self, t)
		local max_feedback = t.getMaxFeedback(self, t)
		local gain = t.getFeedbackGain(self, t)
		local feedbackratio = self:callTalent(self.T_FEEDBACK_POOL, "getFeedbackRatio")
		return ([[Increases your maximum Feedback by %d, and increases the Feedback you gain from damage by %0.1f%% (to %0.1f%% of damage received).
		The Feedback gain will scale with your Mindpower.]]):format(max_feedback, gain*100, feedbackratio*100)
	end,
}
the code has nothing to do with mindpower outside of the description, and feedback decay heal scales with wil power, so its likely its just another classical tome description.
A little bit of a starters guide written by yours truly here.
