RELATIVE STATS:
Str: 14
Dex: 45
Int: 32
Test #1 (No damage boost gear):
*used tin banishment catalyst here for second best scaling*
Dark Bead (all beads hitting): 364 :oops:
WITH DUSK CROWN:
Dark Bead (all beads hitting) : 525 *This is a +161 damage improvement* (if all hit)
+23 more damage per bead
*occasionally I hit for only 524.... does this mean that half-numbers are factored in, and not rounded?*
This I expected:
DUSK CROWN + TCC
Dark Bead (all beads hitting): 882 *This is a +357 damage increase*
This I did not expect:
DUSK CROWN + TCC + BELLOWING DRAGONCREST RING
Try and guess how much dark bead hit for before looking:
Now, keep in mind, this was just the clam's max hp-- so it probably hit for even more.
How is it possible that with this holy trinity of magic boost gear, we get so much damage? Are the boosts stacking exponentially?
It seems that without all 3 pieces, I only hit the 800+ damage mark with all of the beads.
Having all 3 pieces, however, always added a crazy amount of damage. I know the tests aren't that great and have probably been done before-- but I was surprised at how with all 3 you get such a significant boost. (I would've expected around 1000+ damage, not 1337+ damage)
*somewhat funny that the damage was leet
