Spells: 100 MR to resist MR nuke. 350 FR to reduce FR nuke.

[Not Salem]

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

[Haynar]

Underwhelming as too much or too little damage?

At 160 FR, sunstrike will resist 80%. Have 18% partials. 2% full. Partial will hit for 8 - 28%.

72% partial. Sounds like it's working as intended [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Used a bit different model. That was 2 versions ago. And it does spot on what i coded it to do. Partials span a better range.

I'm pretty sure what Salem means by "underwhelming" is that it's still like the current system in which spell damage is wildly erratic.

With the possibility of full resists, now we have the possibility of one sunstrike landing for max, the next landing for zero. This extreme randomness isn't conducive to good PvP.

No resists and only fulls and partials are better?

[Haynar]

It can be made so at a given resist, it does something specific. Can take the randomness out. But I understood there should be randomness.

This is exactly what classic PvP was like. And is the exact reason many people stayed away from PvP.

[Haynar]

I can balance the randomness, with maintaining a classic "dps".

But what is best?

[Colgate]

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
