according to the tests, the damage numbers reach over 400.

And even if it was 200, 200 damage applied by such a fast hitting attack is alot, the reason you dont know this is probably due to your lack of dueling experience with the Balanced BvC

Exactly, this proves tudey is wrong about the way +damage is applied.

200 damage by a fast hitting attack is nothing compared to the almost 500 avg by edc....

And the average would be a LOT closer to 100 with a Grief if +dmg were applied like tudey claims.

It doesn't, It just shows that Deadly strike is applied after the pvp panalty along with the 400 damage ( maybe deadly strike has a unique property that it is applied after the final damage modifier - in this case +400 damage )

The deadly strike then cancels out with the 50% DR to give the 400 damages we're seeing.

I'm not 100% sure on this though, been a while since I played, obviously tudey will be able to give you a better response.

any pure foh guide ?

maybe i make one soon =)

is making diablo 2 characters hard? lold

It's retaining the information that is difficult
I'm sure that all these tests were ran multiple thousands of times over the course of 10+ years of Diablo 2
But keeping a good informative thread bumped is difficult
And remembering where to refer people for this type of information in general, is even more difficult



I am actually Grushing a Barbarian right now so that I can run this test myself
My buddy wanted a Barb anyhow
Expect accurate results within the next few days ^^

I award these shoes 10/10 for balance.

Again, where exactly has that been shown time and time again? I asked you for that a while ago already and I'm still waiting.


where's your proof for that?
so grief exactly the same as +400 minimum and +400 maximum but it adds to shield damage while +max/min doesn't and it doesn't add to vengeance while +max/min does? That means it is not exactly the same.
I did not claim that f(x) is the same as g(x). However f(x)=x^2/x=x would be the same as g(x)=x in everywhere else but at 0, where f(x) has no value. The point was to illustrate that while the two functions look the same they aren't exactly the same. +damage looks like +max/+min but it's not. That is why it works differently.




you quoted this part of a post in one of your earlier posts but you seemed to not really read it too well so I bolded the answer to your question there.
