    Mystic Boon STR test (please assist)

    So I finally got around to it last night, and here's what I found:

    Both series were with Training Maul (DMG:1) and with Sneak Attack on starter mobs (lv.0~1 or whatever they are, like before)

    Over 20 SA'd Boons @ 100TP, with 46STR and 89MND, the avg was 167.
    ( low 153, high 178 )

    Over 20 SA'd Boons @ 105TP, with 87STR and 89MND, the avg was 202.
    ( low 185, high 213 )

    Can someone better at WS math please assist? It really looks like STR is a modifier now. Do I need to provide any more numbers?

    Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: Forgot TP!

    Not sure about the WS math right now, but STR gives ATT which is influencing the numbers here.

    I shouldn't think so to the extent of OPs example on Lv1 mobs.

    41 STR gave you 35 damage increase. If I recall, pdif cap for 1H is ~3.0 (Seriously I can't remember.)

    Working backwards, that should give you an 11-12 base damage increase from 41 STR.

    41*.83 (The modifier constant) = ~34

    34 / (11-12) = ~30% STR Modifier

    Aw, don't stop. We have STR sitting around on some pieces for a reason it seems! This is useful, I'm trying to make a set for Mystic Boon. I'm averaging around 130-150 with some very basic melee-type gear (Chiv chain, potent belt) and some nicer pieces (AF+1 hands). Thanks for the info!
