    If you have 50 warlocks and 50 hunters, and all warlocks are the self revives, then technically you have 100 warlocks. 150 is 50% greater than 100. Just because you're too dumb to understand, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. A better way to say it would be "Caleb I don't understand the math, could you please explain?"

  • [quote]Anyways, self ressing would virtually multiply the solar class by 50%[/quote] 50% = .5 100 x .5 = 50 Now, if it were 150%, or 1.5 100 x 1.5 = 150 Or 50% increase like you've corrected yourself to in newer posts 100 x .5 + 100 = 50 + 100 = 150 But we should be taking into account the new subclasses, making it 33.33% and 133

  • A 150% increase from 100 would be 250. This is how you do increases with percentages: 50% increase in a 100 base: 100X 50% 100X.50 = 50 50+ 100 = 150. 100X150% 100X1.50= 150 150 + 100 = 250 If you don't understand PLEASE stop making yourself look like an idiot and google how to add percentages. Child. If you are not a child, you should most definitely understand because of interest rates. If you owe a 100 dollars but have a 5% interest rate, does that mean that you'll actually less than what you borrowed? Hell no. It's more. Because you say 100 X .05 and then add it

  • I see, you don't understand the difference between multiplication and increase. It explains why you used both terms interchangeably and have yet to realize that. So when you multiply by a percentage, you don't add the original, when you increase by a percentage, you add the original. Your OP said multiply, multiply by 1.5 and increase by 50% are the same thing. But you said multiply by 50% which is half.

  • See you aren't understanding. You HAVE TO MULTIPLY TO GET YOUR NEW NUMBER. You have to multiply .50 to 100 to get 50, for which you add to 100 getting you 150. I see you don't understand basic algebra. I'm done trying to explain to you fools

    When you increase by 50%: 100 x .5 + 100 = 150 When you multiply by 50%: 100 x .5 = 50 Ah, I see you've edited your original post. All is well now

  • No sir, that's not how percentages work. .5 X 100 is 50, so now your suppose to add 50 to the original number. If something is 50% more than the original price than it doesn't make the price go down. That's 50% off. You don't understand how percentages work so I'm not going to try to continue explain. It's a 50% increase. 100% increase would be double

  • You are an idiot if you don't understand these calculations. I stated it would -blam!-ing INCREASE the army by 50% You're an idiot for thinking a 50% increase would lower it. I'm an aerospace engineer. I've taken math classes you've never heard of. This is basic math. You don't understand

Just because you're two dumb to understand [/quote] So how exactly did you pull 150 out of your ass when that's more than both the 50 warlocks and the 50 hunters combined?[spoiler]honestly curious how you managed.[/spoiler]

  • Here I'll explain ONE more time. 50 warlocks 50 hunters. That makes 100. If someone killed 50 warlocks and 50 hunters, They killed 100 enemies. If all 50 warlocks self ressed, and then the enemy kills them again, they would have killed 150 enemies. Because of this, solar class technically would have 150 enemies hypothetically speaking, if we are considering that there are an equal amount of hunters, warlocks, and Titans in the world. Thus, solar class would have 50% more of an army than void and arc. If you were asking where I got that there are only 50 warlocks and 50 hunters, that was a hypothetical number that I used that way I could explain the 50% increase. I honestly can not explain it better than this. If you still have problems, ask someone in person, such as a math teacher or someone good at math to help explain. Or, just don't worry about it.

  • Warlocks have essentially double health while radiance is active so it would be 200, not 150[spoiler]if you haven't noticed yet... im trolling[/spoiler]

  • Wouldn't the solar just have 33% more? Other Damage types: 50 Warlocks 50 Titans 50 Hunters Solar: 100 Warlocks 50 Titans 50 Hunters 50 is 33% of 150.

  • So no, the number is 100, not 150 seeing as we aren't taking into account for new subclass. So the number is 100, and 50% of 100 is 50, so you add 50 to the 100 making the new total 150

    But we are taking into account the new subclasses, it even says that in the OP. [quote]-War takes place in a large hill filled field. -Includes new subclasses -No orb or self res. abusing.[/quote]
