Damage Explanation?

[Therin]

There is a "super boost" drink that works only for one hit.

[Delekii]

Do you get drinks in Nyzul? I've never done it but I didn't think so..

You can get pathos like boosts though right?

There are random boost drinks scattered in chests in Nyzul, and you can also buy drinks in advance for tokens before you enter.

Boost increases attack. No amount of attack could produce that much damage.

Not all boosts increase attack. Jailer of loves for example is a straight damage multiplier of 5X.

Just a shot in the dark, but it could be a glitch similar to the one that occasionally causes mobs in Nyzul to be 1-shotted on a pull.

[Lordender]

never did nyzul much but as for salvage there are weird things that go on inside of salvage atleast some mobs i seen melee destroy along with BLM. In bhafalu a blm can nuke a wamoura up to almost 2k on a tier 4 ;x

That glitch is caused by the monster having no hp, dmg dealt look normal in chat log.

This nm probably have weird attribute, so unless we know more about it, I think we are wasting our time trying to figure it out, since nothing special was done apparently, and it was never reproduced on any mobs.

Did anyone ever find out what max pDIF with 2-handed weapons was after last update?

2.2ish to 2.9ish range from what I see on report

[Twig]

Since we have established that no type of Str or Attack boost can create this type of number, are there any types of drinks or pathos that provide a straight up damage bonus?

Does Soldier's drink just produce attack? I have yet to see a list of the beneficial pathos you can encounter in Nyzul Isle.

[Nameless]

critical hit should have a cap, or at least it should be close to the cap

neither hit is a critical

I know, I am talking about my own incident, I critical for 450 in Salvage for some odd reason. Only happened rarely, like twice or something.

It's possible to get 442 damage on a critical if they cap at 3.0pDIF. But this is only if you maxed fSTR and are using the highest 99DMG Gaxe on a weak to slashing mob. You sure it was for 450?

I don't have a list but from my own experience, I've seen

Stats: CHR,MND,STR boosts. If I remember right, it was around +30 or so?
Refresh. I *think* we got tp regen once but I go on bard and really don't pay attention to the pathos effects.

soldiers drink DOES increase the damage dealt to a tartget.

that being said, i didnt use one lol. I have used them before and never really saw much of a difference, but i didn't have one on this floor. (was kill all enemies, i will usually save for spec enemies, leader or boss.)

Pre 2handed update, damage range was like this: |_________|

Post 2handed update, damage range was like this: |_|

Post post 2handed update(now), damage range is like this: |______________________________________________|

Reminds me of something I saw once on Dr. 90210.

[Kirschy]

The simple answer is that you were using a med which adds a straight multiplier of damage, souleater, or the mob takes extra damage. Chances are it's taking extra damage. It happens often in salvage... I personalli don't do any Nyzul so I can't say much there.

Apoc is highest damage, which results in the highest, non-relic proc melee hit. Post patch it's 334 or 335 or something.

[SeraphusRagnarok]

Maybe the mob was weak to your weapon type? I know that after this patch my damage ceiling on Spongilla Flies is around 423.

But we've already ruled all these out. He was War/Nin(no souleater), fighting a Diremite that has no weapon weakness, and he wasn't under the affect of any medicine. Just because many Salvage mob families have damage bonuses doesn't somehow imbue damage bonuses on Diremite mobs.

Something else is going on.

Then it's not confirmed yet.

i can post the erst of the screenshot if you'd like. it shows me attacking another two times, both around 220. I would say that leads me to believe there is no weakness to slashing.
