You perform your Copperhead perfectly (+97):
You attack SB with your adze and hit for 275 (+16).

I think we can agree my base-damage is high due to the fact I debuffed his damage. My base-damage would be lower if he wasnt weak to my damage-type, correct?

I hit for 275; with a 75% style reduction I hit therefore for 178 + (0.25x 97) = 202 damage. Straight up 27% damage decrease (correct me if Im wrong)

afaik, this is calculated w/o taking in account any resists. thus - u'd hit for 259 with 97 styled part (and 162 base), and with 75% reduction it would be 186dmg. that's 29% dmg decrease, true....but how much ur offhand hits for? and this is base dmg, remember..

vs someone who's using high GR styles and no offhand - this may be a life-saver. vs dualers - 'tis not.

upd:

seen the logs..hmmm..strange

seems that reduction applies b4 actual hit takes place on target...but i cant determine what is the base value which is reduced, and what role resists play in it.

gonna test.

thx for info.

My offhand is of a different dmg type (using Sun offhander) and is different speed (3.6; mainhand is 3.9). Im 19 +7 CD atm with my current SC and spec. I think typical dmg is around 100~ on normal resists. I got logs of that on my other PC will put those up later on. My offhand is less then 15% of my damage with my spec I would reckon (if I get 3 offhands off 100 each thats 300 hitpoints and thats not uncommon guestimate with my spec)


The damage reduction is a rather huge deal however u can see in supplied logs (rather short but was abit crappy testing we did in 5 mins quick). ATM RvR'ing but I think dmg reduction is alot bigger then 15% then u thought at first. Dont forget people bought AP3 in OF for alot of points; u now get it basically for 'free' (okay; 1 crappy UV thingie) and the duration is alot longer too :)

Perhaps not necessarily info but both the infil (bigchiefweale) as the ranger (Spinesprout=me) are RR8. I seem to have good resists against his damage-type; I didnt ask what weapons he used; prolly mundane ML10 thruster (?)

I thought only music classes could use the level 10 ability and all others had partial use, ie no level 10 charge for them. Maybe that's why no sb's use it? Cuz I'm pretty sure they would if they could.

nib SB can use2 it; its because of the Skald who doesnt use instruments so Mythic gave Mids another use2 to the necky which normally makes a harp for the music classes :>

Yeah, I know, but I really thought only skalds could use2 on it in mid. Well, if you are absolutely certain about it, I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

they are all evenly matched, it just depends on ur spec and how good you play, what items you use etc!

Some do, and some do well, and one has even won. Now try it without the hibs giving you a headstart :D
