Description of Bug (Explain the bug, How is it done, what should it really be doing? etc. An unclear description will not get the bug fixed):
Screenshot (If Applicable):
I know that this has been posted before, but since the skill has a pretty complicated formula I will explain everything in detail.
Soul Seeker:
Summons 2 spirits to randomly attack 2 mobs in range. Each spirit will deal 320% damage 1 times.
85% (95% with hyper) chance to recreate spirit and attacks up to 7 time(s).
Soul Seeker Expert:
35% chance to summon a Soul Seeker when attacking with an Angelic Buster skill (excludes Soul Buster and Soul Seeker skills).
When using Celestial Roar, activation rate +15%. The summoned Soul Seeker's Attack Power will be only 75% of a regular Soul Seeker.
Skills that activate Soul Seeker and are used in dpm rotation:
1. Trinty ~163 activations per min average
2. Supernova 14 activations per min
3. Trinity Fusion 45 activations per min
Total activations = 221
Now lets calculate the number of Soul Seeker activations.
Since the 1st one is guaranteed, and for each consecutive there is a 95% chance (up to 7), then the expected number is:
1 +(0.95) +(0.95)^2 +(0.95)^3 +(0.95)^4 +(0.95)^5 +(0.95)^6 = 6.03325407812
Now, we multiply this value by 2 since we have 2 spirits summoned, giving us 12.06650816 attacks.
Next, we want to calculate the number of uses per minute, which is the number of total activations times the chance
to activate (35% or 36% with DCO), so the number of uses per minute is 221*0.36 = 79.56 and we multiply that by 12.066
we get 959.97 and this is the number of expected total attacks, whereas the provided screenshot gives 663.
Note that the number of expected total attacks can be higher if you use Celestial Roar (adds 15% to activate Soul Seeker Expert)
Or if you use a CD hat which lets you proc more activations of Trinity Fusion.
In any case, The following calculations show that the current Soul Seeker formula is bugged and thus a fix would be appreciated.
Additional information and tests can be provided
