    Okay so.. I know some people are really uptight and hide a lot of stuff in their screen shots, but why are you hiding your HP and xp? I mean.. really.. are you that paranoid?

    Some people these days...

    Gooner! :OOO

    Additionally, you must be forgetting a little thing called weapon damage range. 1st hit was likely close to your maximum potential and the latter closer to your minimum.

    Uhhh...the range of damage. XXXX - XXXX on the weapon, and on your character info screen. Its not set amount of damage. Its a range from one value to another. "Physical Attack 500 - 700" or whatever.

    And you whited out some skills too? That's odd o.O

    ...

    What he means is this:

    Say you have a damage range of 10,000 - 18,000. You get a crit and now you're looking at 20,000-36,000. Say you get a zerk on that, it's going up to 40,000-72,000. At first, you had a range of 8,000 damage, then 16,000 and finally as much as 32,000.

    Also, as my example might point out, the damage ranges between a) a high regular hit and a low crit b) a high crit and a low zerk crit are kinda blending together, especially when you add defenses to that, as defenses will scale the damage down, making the differences smaller.

    To make it simple: A zerk crit has a massive range of damage and seeing a variance of 12,000 damage shouldn't really surprise you.

    It really just means you don't understand numbers.

    ..... You are so stupid, and paranoid, it amazes me to the point where I literally sat here for 2 minutes staring at my screen going "WTF!" in my head.

    However, now that has passed, il lay it out for you without attack levels because im lazy.(Im no archer, so 'scuse my dodgy method).

    Skill damage x 2 (Zerk) x 2 (Crit, 2.3/2.4 with wolf) / 4 (PvP reduction is 75%) = damage output.

    Your atk would, at a guess, 450 Dex, +7, 2 Garnet Gems R8 +R9 rings (Gear atk total of 1472 - 1787) approximately be 7586-9509. Low end - high end of atk range. Now we do the maths (Assuming level 11 Throatcut LV10 (Normal) Wolf Emblem ) :

    High End Wolf Emblem Zerk Crit
    (((9509 + 7331 + 1787 = 18627) x2 = 37254) x 2.3 = 85684) /4 = 21421 damage.

    Low End Wolf Emblem Zerk Crit :
    (((7586 + 7331 + 1472 = 16371) x2 = 32742) x2.3 = 75306) / 4 = 18826 damage.

    High End Zerk Crit :
    (((9509 + 7331 + 1787 = 18627) x2 = 37254) x 2 = 74508) / 4 = 18627 damage.

    Low End Zerk Crit

    (((7586 + 7331 + 1472 = 16371) x2 = 32742) x2 = 65484) /4 = 16371 damage.

    ~Attack levels make it differ a little more, but now ive done that, the difference you claim appears impossible. Are you sure your "friend" didnt switch blessings or had a defence debuff / buff for one of the hits?or you didnt have a buff run out on the second hit ?

    ~~~Oh, additionally : Damage range is why Venomancers tend to hate on their Rank 8/9 Pataka. The damage is unreliable. Assassins however love it. Thay can crit harder than +10 Barrier Thorn on a good day at +3 :D

    my phy atack atm is 7772-9791

    x2 perfect gem

    you said :

    ''It really just means you don't understand numbers.''

    like i said, i don't know about this rule thing, never knew it, not that i don't understend lol.

    So low hit is 7772 + " what ? " + "what " = my damage?

    explain what is what there pls, i want calculate others.

    Atack lvl 115

    And no, was just that.

    Skill damage is layed out clear as day on the skill its self. Base (What you see on your "C" screen) + Gear (The numbers on your weapon, rings, necklace (Lionheart has +Patk if you look) combined) + skill itself. (7331 for level 11 Throat).

    Again :

    Base + (Weapon + gear) + Skill.

    There is no way to tell what is your exact minimum damage, as that depends on a ton of factors, including opponent's defense level and physical defense. Also, just from your damage range, it's not possible to tell what's the maximum damage you'll deal using some skill.

    You have to understand that knowing the exact parameters is a) only possible to a small extent b) not relevant. Really, the best way to get familiar with your damage is to just look at the numbers you get and get used to them. I consider myself decently familiar with the damage formulae in the game and I don't even try to bother with figuring how exactly how large my damage range is or what would constitute a "high damage hit".
    Oh really, thank you, but u can explain the 33102k damage? its right or not? atack lvl 95, but with frenzy that was on = 115.

    It happened in the game so obviously it's right.

    115 attack levels is more or less 115% more damage. A little more than double what is stated in my maths. Then modified by your opponents defences and defence levels, which are both complicated and archer territory, so I cant help you. I just go with the flow when I lay down a hard *** hit on something.

    Weapon + gear damage is already factored into base damage. Attack level is not

    The accurate means of counting an attack level are a bit too out there to be relevant.

    A good rule of thumb for attack levels is that 1 attack level adds roughly 1% damage. It's not exact, but it's "good enough".

    ~1% more of your final attack output per attack level. 100 atk levels = ~100% more damage.

    If you dont get that, then theres no hope. Additionally, im damn sure the attack level calculations have been done multiple times, use an advanced google search and good luck understanding those if you didnt understand this.

    This is for use of a skill (Throatcut). Base + gear + numbers. Its added again if the skill demands it. (Hence the reason Earthen Rift is an absolutely evil skill with a +12 weapon).
