Question on k/d ratio

[Bunnyshoota]

Hi guys
recently ive been working on keeping my death as low as possible and kills as high as possible, but i have a question. How is the ratio calculated ? because if you have 0 deaths and x kills, then it cant be kills/deaths.
Thanks

0 or 1 death gets you the same k/d ratio... I think.

[Gluttony]

A 0 in deaths is calculated as a 1, so 10,000 kills and 0 deaths is a 10,000 ratio and would show up the same as it would if the toon had 1 death.

[Bunnyshoota]

Oh thanks.

so it is just #of kills/#of deaths?

[Tempest]

Oh thanks.

Yes.

So if you had 5k kills 1k deaths, your k/d ratio would be 5:1

isnt that a horrible(no offense to anyone) pve ratio?

but thanks

Ratios are nearly as overrated as dps. I'd rather run with a group with trash stats but everyone is doing their job than a bunch of ratioers refusing to get close enough to use skills for fear of ruining ratios

I personally like keeping my ratio looking good, but I'm not afraid of a couple drops every now and then.

It's like fixing a car: Dents can be pounded out; once you have a dent, it'll never be perfect again, but it can still look good

I said this in another post, and got attacked for it by ratio'ers. But it's true. Ratio players that give it their all in battle are few and far between.

I farm a lot and when you farm you get deaths and lots of other yucky bad stuff, like a whole inventory of greens.
