Hermit's legendary backpack

Yes I have bought subtle magics for larry but as you can see from the mouseover it's not active in the first screen shot. The second screenshot shows the DPS lower with an empty slot even though you can see from the mouseover, he should have had a 200% DPS increase

It currently states that it gives an 100% boost to DPS for every empty spot. And I think it only gives an 10% boost for every empty spot. I can't check it out because all my equips (that boost) are at 15% or higher.

The Blame Game - Increase the DPS of all Crusaders by 50% when there are 2 or more leprechaun Crusaders in the formation. As you remove Larry and thus only have a single leprechaun (Snickette) left in the formation?

That is 4 empty spots for a bonus of 800% DPS, so removing Larry made it 5 empty spots, and a bonus of 1000% DPS. Larry was providing a 1.5 times multiplier (Snickette's Blame Game), and a 1.6 x multiplier (Larry's GE Cane) to your DPS. So let's say that Hermit's base DPS is 100. With Larry in formation, and the Lonerism bonus from 4 empty spots, Hermit's DPS is 100 x 1.5 x 1.6 x 9 = 2160. Now you remove Larry to get 1 more empty spot, so Hermit's DPS becomes 100 x 11 = 1,100. Hermit's Backpack is like Storm Rider's multiplier. The first empty spot is a big boost, and subsequent empty spots, especially if you have to remove Crusaders with DPS All gear or abilities to get those empty spots. Hope that helps. Erika

(larry has a 60% to all gear, but that might not matter). Why does hermit's DPS drop so dramatically (18%) when I take jack out?

3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted March 15th 2017 at 8:24 AM Last Edited March 15th 2017 at 8:27 AM Erika/Alyniana There are already 6 empty slots, so Lonerism is already doing a 1200% multiplier. By removing Jack, you're removing a 1.4 multiplier and only increasing Hermit's multiplier from 1200% (x13) to 1400% (x5). So assuming base DPS on Hermit is 100 again for simplicity. With Jack, it's 100 x 1.4 x 13 = 1820. Without Jack, the calculation is 100 x 15 = 1500. So you are removing a 40% buff in favour of getting an extra 13% buff to Hermit's base DPS from having another empty spot.
