So like i got one of my toon to 6k prestige and try out the pill buff. It was the one that buffs a character in Abaddon. The icons that showed up was atk lvl, def lvl and hp buff along with double damage using skills to monster. However, i only noticed 20 def lvl and thats it.. no double dmg, no atk lvl bonus nor hp. Is this thing broken? anyone else experience it?

    its double skill damage( same as hidden dragons den buff), the icon is there- at least the ones for tt/lunar/pv work for sure
    and yes +20 def lvl - it gives 2 dif icons

    no +atk lvl or +hp

    so? it's double damage on skill. Instances (TT) is usually Sin's territory anyway.
    Could help for Lunar, but that's good.
    Prices go down, people can afford better gear cheaper.

    true enough, but it does give a chance for those lowered gear to catch up, but mostly i see it as another attempt to downplay APS

    Well thats the thing. When i first saw them, i thought it could be good for lower geared to catch up. But in the end i doubt that is the reality and it may be more usefull for the higher geared to widen the gap since they will be better at utilizing stuff to the max.

    To help the lower geared, dont make something that doubles damage. Make something that adds x dmg and defence so that it is more significant on smaller numbers than on big ones.

    hmmm...for some reason I thought the pills don't work with R9....
    Now I dunno if I read or hear it in chat but yeah...that's what I thought. Doubling damage of a R9rrr caster is .... just sad.

    If that double damage buff you are talking about is the same as the one you can get in faction base, then it is actually 4x-5x skill damage.

    Status icons can vary in strength depending on the source.

    Too bad you can't see the strength/duration in the tolltip.

    absolutely correct, stupid nub me for trusting icon, damage tested in pv today with a lvl 5 dagger, it seemed to effectively be 20% or just a lil over 21-22% (roughly)

    which is quite a bit of a difference, makes it a good bit easier, but its definitely not twice damage

    this was effective damage difference, maybe theres some hidden cavets and with different atk lvl or different skill itll have a different effective difference, but these are preliminary numbers
