I hit my first max with lvl 24 reflection at around 167k range. Don't think I have any additional PDR other than skills and hoblin deck set.

I was lvl 158ish and this was at crockies*

Without any non-displayed buffs to your damage (i.e. no buffs that aren't shown in range) you need:

- Around 452.9k range to hit cap on every hit of apocalypse (301.9k range to be able to hit cap on crits)
- ~226.8k range to hit cap on just the first half of the hits (151.2k range to be able to hit cap on crits)

- 378k range to hit cap on every hit of reflection (252k range to be able to hit cap on crits)
- 189k range to hit cap on just the first half of the hits (126k range to be able to hit cap on crits)

That's the minimum your upper range/max damage has to be to hit 999999 damage at all. If your minimum damage is that number, every hit will cap (except for the ranges given for crits, which need another 20% or so more, because even the bonus from critting is random).

This is, of course, assuming 100% PDR, but it's not so difficult to reach with Luminous. He gets 10% from his link skill, 40% from arcane pitch (number isn't shown in-game, confirmed at southperry however), you can get another 30% from a Leafre card set, which I'll assume you can complete if you're aiming to hit the damage cap, which only leaves 20% necessary from other sources - a single PDR potential can give that much (When level 2 link skills are released, Light Wash gives another 5% PDR, you can get 6% from a set of 3 level 100 pirate cards, and then 9% from level 90 Ambition - you could hit 100% PDR without losing any potential slots to it. If you really want to grind to 90 Ambition, anyways.)

I probably went into more detail than is necessary, but whatever. Obviously you can make do with lower numbers if you get damage bonuses which aren't displayed in range, like % boss damage for bossing.[/quote]

Dude, can you re do those calculations to AT LEAST take into account the nondisplayed 5% light/dark bonus of Dark Affinity if you didn't already (since that is a passive skill that luminous always has maxed, or at least is capable of maxing no matter what, because if you didn't max it, then you forgot to pump 1st job sp all the way, and all you need to do is simply multiply the base %s of the skills by 1.05 before doing the rest of the calculations)

about ~200% int depending on yur matt too.

considering i can hit 100k crits with 21k range and 100% pdr, should be 10x that amount.
