I know this is the noob question, but anyone can explain (detailed) how blade tempest output damage are calculated ? Blade tempest at level 10 deal base mag dmg + 220% +4,8k(maybe), and BIDS do base mag dmg+ 500% +9k, but why BT damage output always be higher than BIDS ? Anyone can explain as detailed as possible ?

    Blade Tempest:

    Focus your Chi to create dozens of flaming blades that
    rain down upon the target and all enemies within 12.0
    meters, dealing both physical and fire damage equal to
    base magic damage plus 200% of weapon damage plus 3860.4

    read whats bolded, that means that its 200% weapon plus 3860 for fire damage and then another 200% / 3860 physical damage.

    Idk where you heard that BT damage will 'always' outdamage BIDS but that (as far as I know) is inaccurate.

    BT takes base dmg 2 times in account while BIDS and MS only do once. An endgame wizz has about 16-20k base dmg unbuffed thats why it does hit higher .

    Yap, BT deals more than BIDS when i am still a transcendent. And are u talking about lvl10 BT ? i think its dealing both physical and fire damage equal to
    base magic damage plus 220% of weapon damage plus 4800 or close. I that case BIDS still hits harder if damage just DOUBLED

    from what I understand now, TrueDMG is right, im almost positive the weapon modifier/ base damage/ and the added 3860 is all doubled since its 2 tpyes of attacks, weapon modifier/base dmg/ added3860 for fire + the same for physical. (according to ecatomb, its 3860 for lvl 10 BT, not 4800)

    So that in a sense is 400% weapon damage, 7700ish added damage and whatever your base magic attack times 2 is for BT,

    compared to

    500% weapon damage, 9648 added damage, and only 1x your base magic attack for BIDS

    Is damage from BT still higher if BIDS critic? I don't think so. But usually is bigger. Of course I speaking about sage ultimates.
