I think stormwrath gets resisted alot more often then it should..why is that?

[green_mantis]

cause it hurts a lot maybe?

[Epic]

Not really, hits for 30-40's if its not slightly resisted or whatever..and it usually gets fully resisted atleast 2 outta 5 stam

[Sneaky]

30's-40's on people around my level and above, 50-60 on Monsters with my lvl 21... except Hedge Minions, usually high 40's.... same with difficult monsters.

[Epic]

Well uh, 30-40s on my arch druid....

[alone]

Mine tends to do the same as Sneaky's...

What're the stats on your Druid, Epic?

Mine are like: 18 x 19 18 20 19 (I think).. Level 23.

[Joppa]

19 x 19 19 19 18(without my antlers on)

I asked for SW damage formula a while back and JLH said this:

JLH - Nightmist says:
something like (lev+wis)*1.5

something isn't right there but..... (30+19)*1.5
49*1.5
Calculator: 49*1.5 = 73.5

so wtf? epic, you should be laying the smack down on 'em (or at least be hittin harder >.<)
(although with higher lvl'd druids I usually gaea's blessing + morph and then attack anyway)

[Epic]

I was messing around with my druid for a lil bit and got some diff stats for him to test out..

19 x 19 19 21 20

Now i was Stormwrathing Epic a few times and i got...

22
Resist
43
Fizz
22
47
46
Resist
44
44
43
44
Resist

WITHOUT the 2 dex taking it to 19

44
45
44
(only went 3 times but still)

Now that doesnt look to bad BUT still..average dmg looks to be about 44 or so with 21 wis....and with 19 wis average seems probly a lil bit lower round 43 or something..doesnt make much sense to me

Druid damage is fine.

{end}

oh wait. Not. Druid damage is fine, and it doesnt fizzle to much.

{end}
<for real this time>

[Epic]

Might i remind you my druid has TWO wisdom enhancers on him bring his wis from 19 to 21 . I think that it should raise his dmg more then what it "does"...

[Eternyte]

Welcome to the world of mages. Only stat mods that seem to make a difference are dexterity and strength. I've been saying intelligence needs to increase mages damage by about 5-10, nothing has/will happen. Good luck on your campaign.

[Wolfgang]

Not all the staff necissarily (so spelled that wrong...) know all the damage formula for each and every spell. And, its not their job to know all the damage formulas. also, he said "Probably Something Like " according to you. Which means that he either A, had no idea, B, wasnt completely sure, C, didnt really care...

JLH coded it... i'm pretty sure he'd know what the code for that spell is. I also get the impression that you might have got confused with JLH and who he is. Well, let me help you out. JLH is a game admin. You know, the one who coded the game? If you need anymore help remembering who JLH is please don't hesitate to send me a PM

[Epic]

Anyway, no point in arguing about something completly diff. if wisdom mods dont even help a druids dmg(or anything else for that matter) then wtf is the point of having them in the game

[Despair]

tested my arch druid with wisdom mods on and without on my arch ranger with 18 wisdom . . .

1) Just because a staff coded in a damage formula doesnt mean that they can remember it all the time. He's coded in many formulas, if i'm not mistaken. Its not easy to remember them all...

2)Wisdom mods can get you more mana at a level up.

3)Getting back on track... Druid damage is fine. I dont have any problem with being able to hit people/things for 40 dmg at level 15. And i dont have any prob doing the same damage at a high level. Because by then i tend to morph and attack.

[Penguin]

2)Wisdom mods can get you more mana at a level up.

Sharingan Kakashi says:
bah, someone just said wisdom mods will give you more mana when you lvl up... that correct?

JLH - Nightmist says:
no




annnddddd..... he also said wisdom mods WILL affect damage done by SW =P just doesn't seem to affect it very much >.<

[newb]

There's a bigger effect when a Mage, Cleric or Paci has +wis.

It's not useless. It's just better for some classes than it is for others.

And if for nothing else, you can use them when participating in your 'oh so precious duels' against offensive magic users.

[Epic]

Well i still think that if you have mods on the stat that makes up how much damage you do it should atleast raise it say 5pod per mod(or so, i think)..Wolfgang that avatar is not user friendly..

[newb]

I think that it is based more on level than on wisdom.

[Epic]

I see, rendering wis mods useless then...

[Wolfgang]

Which avatar? I've changed it like ten times in the past several hours.

Edit: Anything I say i was either told when i first started playing, or is something i have figured out myself. Example: When i first started playing someone told me that Wis modifiers meant you got more Mana at level up. I never checked for myself.

Just pointing out his post incase you missed it, Epic.

[Malavon]

Since when was Eternyte staff?

[ice_cold]

they arent useles, just pretty much useless on druids. your better off putting str mods on a high level druid, they hit for a descent ammount when morphed, mods help out there...

[Epic]

O i see, well its a good thing some mods do something on diff crits and the same mods do absolutly nothing on diff crits..WOW...im glad this was cleared up for me so i could understand it better
