What is the justification for 8A Doomguy, and how far into 8A is he?

[Wokistan]

Berserk Doomguy is currently listed as at least 8A, but is there no reason given. What I assume is being insinuated is that that's how it is because normal Doomguy is already pretty high 8B and Berserk is some unspecified amount higher, but that's very vague and if possible should probably be clarified.

 

[Kaltias]

It's because Berserk > Quad Damage which is a x4 multiplier (sending him to 8-A)

 

[Wokistan]

So does base scale to Quad BFG, who then gets quaded and some amount higher than berserk, or is berserk only marginally above quad BFG?

 

[Kaltias]

From what I recall Berserk is a good deal above Quad Damage, but take that with a grain of salt as I mostly know DOOM due to what I read around

 

[Wokistan]

No, I mean does 8B doomguy scale to a quad damage BFG or not? If he doesn't berserk isn't that much above the 167 BFG calc, but if he does that puts him at about 700 tons and higher into 1A than another character I'm trying to see if he's physically above. Ingame Berserk lets you instakill anything and with some runes at a pretty silly range and speed, but you can't use it against the 8B enemies and if actually making an enjoyable and challenging game wasn't important, he would stats wise and lore wise be capable of easily doing to all the tier 9 enemies anyways.

Baseline Doom Slayer is capable of one-shotting boss-tiers who can tank multiple unamped BFG shots and keep moving, with his bare hands.

Berserk Sphere Doom Slayer is > a Quad-amped BFG physically. The Quad-BFG is 8-A due to Quad Damage (in lore) being a literal 4x damage boost to any weapon the user wields, the likes of which would put the BFG into MCB range.

I believe the Titan (who DS killed with his sword and his bare hands) was also rough-calc'd to be within the 8-A range due to size and such, but no one ever got around to making an official blog of that.

 

[Wokistan]

Yes, he's 8A either way, the question being how far into 8A he is. Does baseline scale to quad damage bfg, putting him into 8A and berserk into higher 8A, or does he not and Berserk is just around there if not slightly better? Where was the Titan's size found?

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

Baseline doesn't scale to Quad, no. That's what I was saying.

 

[Wokistan]

Ok, thanks.

I'll create the thread at some point, which will in turn upgrade base Doomslayer and I may even upgrade lifting strength for the various characters at some point. But at the moment, I'm rather busy with both projects on other verses and my RL job. And I need to get some sleep ATM, but I should have the proper blog made soon.

Looking forward to some Doomguy upgrades.
