Some questions regarding offensive masteries

7ha7guy777·8/29/2015, 7:52:59 PM·1 votes·373 views

Is double edged sword worth taking on ranged champions? If so, what type of champions?

Do you (or your pets) get the extra 1% damage from your own expose weakness? Can multiple expose weakness masteries stack?

Which champions can benefit from weaving and what masteries are worth giving up for then?

Is feast ever worth taking?

Do Havoc and Executioner stack enough for a 520 damage ability to do 600 damage when your pen = their defensive stat for that damage type?

Feast is most-likely taken when you're laning against an opponent who has high harass-potential against you (for slightly more sustain). Although for all intents & purposes this becomes less of an issue once you know how to counter-pick & have experience laning against certain champions.

Expose-Weakness is meant more for a team-fight effect and I think it specifically has a description of your allies doing extra damages. I don't think it stacks (and if it does it probably requires more than one team-member hitting the target with the same mastery but not something that I can confirm at the moment as being conclusive [can probably be tested if you have multiple computers set-up, log in with multiple accounts, and check the numbers after running tests in a Custom-Mode match]).

Damages, from what I have read, are done after mitigation. Equal pen against equal defense, with 520 damage, adding the 5% from R3 Execution, and the 3% from Havoc, for a total of an extra 8%, becomes 41.6 extra damage, thus likely a total of 520 + 41.6 = 561.6 damage (not 600). Also note that Executioner only takes effect if the target is already below 50% health. With that in mind attacking a full-health target at 520 base-damage with equal penetration will only trigger an extra 3% between the two resulting in 520 + 3% (15,6) = 535,6 damage.

Double-Edged Sword should probably only be taken against a squishy composition or if your composition is tanky enough to be able to afford you time & mitigation to burst down your targets without getting hit too much yourself.
