Talk:Menticide Nyx Helmet/@comment-86.4.173.135-20130409155224

After some testing today in an attempt to get the actual shield and stamina values for the helmet.

Note, all testing was done on a level 30 Nyx frame both with, and without the Menticide helmet. Tests for shield values were conducted both with, and without a Redirection mod, and tests for stamina values were completed both with, and without a Marathon mod.

The Nyx frames base shield value at level 30 is 300. Wearing the Menticide helmet causes this value to drop to 285. A loss of 5%. Adding a Redirection mod, upgraded to give a 200% boost to shield value, gives a total of 500 shield hit points without Menticide, and 475 with it equipped. Again, the total shield loss is 5%, NEVER a flat, -5 shield hp value.

Stamina value from Menticide effectively does not seem to add on as a percentage however - only as a flat bonus. (Please forgive the fact that here, I can't tell you how many points of stamina the frame has, nor what the value of each point is - if anyone cane help with this aspect, that would be great.) At level 30, the Nyx frame can sprint for a total of 8 seconds before stamina becomes depleted. With Menticide equipped, Nyx can sprint for 10 seconds - a 2 second gain. Adding a Marathon mod upgraded to 50% stamina max, Nyx can sprint for 12 seconds without Menticide, and 14 seconds with the helmet equiped. Obviously again, the gain 2 seconds.

I'll attempt to update the wiki's info on the shield loss to reflect the %, but will leave the stamina gain values as they are - at least until someone can provide some numbers regarding stamina points and the like. It ought to be quite possible to do just that using the above info - but frankly I'm tired and lazy ;)
