first few sunstrikes is a little underwheling

unbuffed @ 170* fire I got hit for

full damage
full resist
78 damage
780 damage
full damage

obviously 5 sunstrikes isn't much of a sample though, need someone to box a healer?

-------

----------

190 cold resist

fully resisted 4 draughts, getting hit for 225 / 385 / 417 by 3

for sure noticing my melee hits as an SK vs a wizard are hitting for LESS it feels, going afk for a bit though will check back to see if anyone else is on to mess around

btw you can box on Velious beta I think?

just tested a few

6 sunstrikes casted on even con 248 fire resist

3 full resists, one hit for 1082(max), one for 932, one for 731

AC seems a lot better though, average hit on an unbuffed wizard that had 525 AC with a tstaff(normal max hit used to be around 130-140) is like 50-60, only one out of like 30 swings was over 100 damage

Hmm I thought the AC change would make casters take more dmg at low AC not less?

Yes u can box there. No we arent tracking who boxes there.

I take it you want me to bump it back up?

Gonna quit saying what prelim results are, and start making it a suprise.

Hard to please anyone.

Sorry haynar, I wasn't watching the forums. I just felt it was a bit underwhelming that even with all my gear put into resists, I was still getting hit for full damage pretty often, It seems pretty RNG based for the wizards right now, like a coin flip that you will just rip through someone with full damage or close to full damage hits, or just get flat resisted the whole time.

I would still feel it's viable with this system to dump a load of draughts on someone and if RNG was NOT in your favor just yonder away and try again after you have stabilized, with a good chance of dropping your target on the 2nd round even if he's 200+ in his FR / CR.


Really enjoying the melee and AC changes though, I was feeling I was hitting for less against both monks and wizards, and getting hit for less against the monk. Also getting hit for more while naked vs geared was good.. Need a few more classes though to really test out the viability of wearing AC armor vs other stats, but in general this is a good change.

Also Haynar, I believe me and colgate are the only people who have tested it so far, would wait till we get some more people / classes on board before taking any of our words, just relaying it the general public at the moment, hopefully get some interest in other people to log on and test.

seemed about consistent with sunstrike values at 248 fire

agree with salem about AC, definitely a noticeable difference between ~600 AC and ~900 AC(naked vs geared 60 SK), and it feels like i'm hitting for a lot lower in general, it's a very nice change

resists still feel very luck centric, where you might land 4 full damage casts in a row and i'm dead, or i'll flat out resist 4 in a row and you're dead; it's certainly an improvement over before, though, but if we wanna get it classic, i should be seeing full resists or very low hit partials pretty much across the board with high/full damage hits being rare anomalies at those resist amounts

conclusion is, still viable to draught someone with 140 cold resist
