Andy Goder enhanced the PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding repository by implementing an average damage-over-time (DOT) calculation for the Wintertide Brand skill. He refactored the preDamageFunc logic to support both manual stage configuration and average damage computation for stacked DOT scenarios, resulting in more accurate modeling of skill performance over time. Working primarily in Lua, Andy applied his expertise in damage calculation logic and skill system implementation to improve the fidelity of end-user build projections. This work addressed the need for precise duration-based damage modeling, enabling users to optimize and balance their builds with greater confidence in the tool’s output.

June 2025 — PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding 1) Key features delivered - Wintertide Brand average DOT calculation enhancement: Implements calculation for average DOT for Wintertide Brand; refactors preDamageFunc to support Manual Stages and Average Damage for stacked damage output, enabling a more accurate representation of the skill's DOT over its duration. Commit: 2ff5e40ce61384699c500cbbb6d90d2a0f717898 (Add support for Wintertide Brand average DOT calculation (#6868)). 2) Major bugs fixed - None reported this month. 3) Overall impact and accomplishments - Improves modeling fidelity for end-user builds by delivering a more accurate DOT representation, supporting better optimization and balance decisions. 4) Technologies/skills demonstrated - Refactoring to support advanced damage calculations; commit-driven development and collaboration on DOT modeling for stacked DOT scenarios; gained deeper experience with damage-over-time modeling and duration-based calculations.
