Testing the Eye of Ayak's Spec in TOA

Hopped into a TOA with some friends to check the Eye of Ayak spec behaviour.

Since it drains magic defence rather than defence, it's not subject to the usual defence floor.

It has some simple conventional uses - hit a 20 at Wardens P3 and a 10 at akkha to buff your already nuclear-powered shadow up a little more. You can drain up to 200 at Zebak to make shadow (12.9dps) considerably better than tbow (10.6dps) but you sacrifice your ZCB which hits consistently and effectively.

We were more curious about the impact on Kephri and Baba, the two bosses you'd traditionally melee.

What we found is that the drain is uncapped all the way to 0, and also doesn't regenerate at any point in the fight. This new spec pairs nicely with the current max gear setup - Shadow's max hit is capped, so its possible to drop magus entirely without losing any max hits and camp lightbearer instead, which helps top up your drains if all your specs noodle.

Kephri has 200 magic defence to drain, with an 88.03% initial chance to hit and a 23.8 expected hit per spec. Each player can send two at the start of the fight, which, especially in large 8-mans, gives a very good chance of draining the full 200.

After 75 damage, max shadow (9.5dps) beats max fang (9.3dps)
After 200 damage shadow (11.7dps) nukes max fang (9.3dps)

Review the calculation here. I've assumed no salts, 1 elder maul to help the fang

Baba has 280 magic defence to drain, with an 90.87% initial chance to hit and a 26.8 expected hit per spec. Each player can send two at the start of the fight, which, especially in large 8-mans, gives a very good chance of draining the full 280.

After 25 damage, max shadow (9.2dps) beats max fang (9.1dps)
After 200 damage shadow (12.9!dps) nukes max fang (9.1dps)

Review the calculation here. I've assumed salts here as BaBa is often done last, 1 elder maul to help the fang

The same tech can be used on any scale - should work the same on a 500 path level 4 as a 300 path level 0.

Speed-wise, I doubt its competitive with a coordinated red keris ZCB team following molgoatkirby's guides, but I suspect this could be really good for brain off 8-mans since the entire tech is just "equip mage gear, spec with eye, slaughter everything with shadow"

TL;DR Eye spec means you can shadow keph/baba in big group TOA for huge dps. More viable the more players you have in there. Lazy apes together strong
