Why would proc'ing OW or not after a CB have to do with PvM or PvP... everyone knows about this FHR animation stuff, there was actually a discussion in this thread a few pages back, dunno what you mean by a DS only build too, its not so hard to get 100% DS or near it on a normal build.

And yea, if u had such a theory, just make a 100% CB and 100 OW chara on open and see if u proc OW lol vs another player...( kinna easy to make on closed too, if u cant find a way of getting 2 charas in game on open.. ).

Never heard of CB effecting ds before that's a new one.

or its just wrong lol

Heard a lot of rumours coming from melee like this, one was that higher def makes you hit the min damage more frequently

Not a rumor.

Poison damage cancels out crit/DS, grief +dmg gets applied after pvp penalty (EDC>Grief for a bvc) Standard of heroes makes you not lose exp.

pro



yeah im sure it's wrong that's why I said it was a new one lol. Get eywa in here

It may be just wrong, like I said, it was an old theory we discussed back in '06, that I am resurrecting to see if valid or not. By Ds only build, I mean I am making build that only has Deadly Strike in it, no Open Wounds, no Crushing Blow, no other dmg modifier that can be processed, so when I attack it's either a DS hit or a normal attack. Finding the right components to make it functional is what's difficult...and it literally opens the builds up on a whole new level again, with several different glove options, boots etc...should be interesting at least, I get bored easily with Zeal, and I am constantly testing new setups, odd theories etc...



Like I said not new, just old and forgotten.

they're stylish. I've used wartravs in diff setups for the dmg increase also since I already had 100 ds.

This isn't how it works.

Crushing Blow is not technically damage. It is a life modifier. It rolls before anything else rolls. Deadly strike is a damage modifier, and rolls separately from CB and OW.

It's fairly easy to make a weapon with 100% cb, ds, and ow in single player, and if you'd like we can tcp/ip and I can prove to you with mathematics that all work at the same time and have no cancelling effect upon one another.


edit:



I have some, of course.

well war travs in 15-25 dmg ( so 20 avg dmg added ), war travs also gives str and 30 life.

These 08 gores give like 5 avg dmg added ( which i showed ain't very significant ), less def, lno ow and no cb... They are clearly worse, and I don't see how using an inferior item that you paid waaay more for makes your chara "stylish", imo it just makes you a bit of an idiot...
