Game Mechanics: non-melee classes and damage bonus

[Nizzarr]

I've seen shaman hit me for ~130 damage with the gatorsmash maul.

Shaman shouldnt get damage bonus.

Max damage they should do is like 60 damage with 30 damage weapons

[minakto]

dont think dmg bonus was even in classic, but i could be "like" wrong

[Nizzarr]

Damage bonus on non-melee classes never applied. This should be the case on blue as well.

[Nirgon]

I do remember a fateful day in Velious where Ruhi the troll warrior connected with his warrior epic and thought to myself. "Oh fuck". It was that big of a change.

Before then, I can't really say one way or another what hits should be like.

Then again, it was a change made that made 2handers actually useful.

I think this one needs a little research but it shouldn't be terribly hard to find.

Pretty sure damage bonus wasnt classic. Not that melee need to be nerfed. Shamans shouldnt get it though.

[Mardur]

It was classic, it was just increased a bunch in Velious (scales with delay, part of the rebalancing to make 2 handers competitive to 1 handers).

Pretty sure caster classes don't have it tho anyways here.
