damage hardcap 40%

[finasterra1]

on the sony live servers.. there was always a 40% of target's max hp, on players in pvp. to prevent wizards from 1 shotting, or even 2 shotting people.... why is this not implemented here? i understand that the damage is reduced by 30% but that 70% of base damage could still do 100% of my hp, if i was at full hp, unbuffed... where as the live system.. only 40% of my max hp... to prevent casters from being too overpowered and givng the target at least some chance to flee or defend themselves.

[pgerman]

i feel like you made this up, oh wait you did


if that was implemented on live it was about 7 years after velius


manaburn one shotted people for a long ass time


There were many spells that one shotted people.

[finasterra1]

i played on SZ for almost it's entirety, and it always had a 40% hardcap.. manaburn, lifeburn, HT, ice comet, everything

[BardPop]

66% limit

[ElemtalRZ]

That didn't come into play until after AA's were introduced.

[finasterra1]

i remember it as far back as velious on SZ

[snufzaimoverlord]

You can tell we're getting new blood on this server with posts like this.

lolzworthy

[finasterra1]

what gave it away? that i didn't just roll over and accept it and roll a wizard too? but that i called it like i saw it and offered the solution that sony felt was at least partially fair?

[Efwan]

please roll a wizard, more cloth for me to plow right through on my monk.

[FaithlessKR]

No it wasn't there during velious, if it was then manaburn/lifeburn would have never oneshot people...which it did for a couple years.

You're mistaken and you should learn that this server is trying to stick to a classic timeline (meaning if it wasn't here in kunark it's not here now, and if it was never there in velious it will never be there in velious).

Not classic. This happened because people were bitching about getting Manaburned or Death Touched during Planes of Power

This guy came to the wrong place to make up lies about the EQ timeline

We have board certified EverQuest doctors here

[fred schnarf]

what a baby , draughts do 400 here instead of 700 in pvp and he wants more partials

why not make yourself immune to spells completely so you can kill all casters?

[Buhbuh]

Was well after Velious

[Chronoburn]

Me too. No it didn't.

This came out sometime after PoP.

love wizards

[alaiwy0503]

This was definitely not there during velious. My favorite memory is me on Ashrael zoning into an AD raid from EW, they were killing tormax at EW/KD zone line. I manaburned one of their twinks that had a COF and looting it and gating before anybody even knew i was there.

The maximum damage any one spell can do is now capped at 40% of the target's total hit points, down from 75%.http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20040811.html

[pgerman]

2004 ? who give a shit

[Grimjaw]

that patch note says the cap was changed in 2004. from 75% to 40. i wonder when the 75 cap was added in. either way, doesn't seem classic at all.

April 8, 2003
Direct Damage spells in Player vs. Player combat can only do up to 75% damage of the target's maximum hit points in a single hit. This modification is done before resists are taken into account. For example, if a player has 1000 hit points when fully healed, no single direct damage spell will do more than 750 damage to him in a single hit.http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20030408.html

Dude on live Necros could harm shield and life tap with Demi-lich and ct brain effectively killing all but mages who could summon food and right click constantly!

You don't know shit.

You're wrong. Played sz from release til end of pop, damage cap was not in and SKs / wizards were free to one shot all day long.

board certified EverQuest doctors here

i bet you EQ has already made it into some actual dissertations.

also would be interested to see how many medical docs play p99. i bet not many. last i knew of was doofus, and he doesn't play anymore. training takes a lot of time

[Crazycloud]

80 % was added to DT/Manaburn/lifeburn and was added in planes of power waaay in. then they had made it 40 % later on.
