patch file

gracias!

Thank you for all your contribs.

it looks ok but u should change m_caster to Caster, and i don't think that it should calculate over 50 composite spec.. also what exactly is the dex based dmg? it should always be called from the actual class eStat, not hard-coded.

Thank you for all your contribs.

any better?

I don't recall nightshade nuke damage being dex dependant, I was fairly sure it was str but my memory could be faulty on the subject. I think I may have actually tested this at one point and/or says so in mythic's documentation.

For some nightshades basing it off stealth is not a good change but guess good that you can affect the damage. Part of me thinks otherwise as bonus to having night shade magic is suppose to balance that inf get more spec points so thinking it should be independant of spec but we aim to be livelike so we should update.

meh u should see ns's on live lol 10% spell dmg with 10% spell piercing and mom 5 hit for like 650 + (the high rr ones) decent rr ones hit for like 400-500 its ridiculous

wow 650 ?

yeah, nightshades would just pop out of stealth after they would switch out for their caster gear and start to cast on people. Then in meele range switch back to meele gear and have their poisons hit for like 100 + after that. I think mythic might have nerfed delves since then but i would have to check.

Was thinking more for non rvr ish nightshades the rare folks that don't spec high stealth, mostly thinking of ones on gaheris or if there are some out there that don't rvr so don't worry much about stealth and now do.

For most though yes I see it increasing damage.

Anyway that wasn't the most important point of my post, it was that I thought nuke damage stat was str rather than dex but been unable to confirm so would ask if someone maybe had some data to tell one way or other.

I didn't think they nerfed the delves on those spells at all let alone having delves high enough to allow 650 damage considering, current delves are 100 and 73.5 according to char plan, thus 375 would be cap damage with 10% magic damage and mom5.

u have to put into account for Resist Pierce and Crits i think, its definitely do-able, depending on who the NS is attackings gear.. i just think its rare for an NS to use their points in such an odd way.

Spell piercing affects resists does not allow you to go above cap which is why I quoted cap values (3 times delve plus spell damage and mom). At least that is my understanding of ability as the reason it didn't work in pve was that it only reduces resists from items and mobs don't have items.

I wasn't taking into account crit, I thought they were talking about a single shot, but still for rvr crit is 50% of main damage so still not getting over 600 for one spell.

So if maybe they were talking 650 for two spells, now that is doable and maybe that is what they were talking about, firing off the castable and the insta for a combined damage of 650ish.
