View Full Version : Strafe dmg calculations? Mathematically possible?
Okay, Strafe does 75% weapon dmg, but when maxed enhanced dmg by 100%, therefore, theoretically, it should be doing 150% weapon dmg.
But my normal attack does more dmg!
Normal attack with a bow: 142-505
Strafe dmg: 123-441
Is this a bug? Is my damage not displayed properly?

it's no bug. Let's say you have a bow that does 200 dmg (only counting max , for min the same thing applies). You have 300 dex and 100% ed coming from strafe.
This means you do 200 * (300 + 100 + 100) / 100 = 1000 dmg.
200 = base dmg
300 = dex
100 = %ed from strafe
other 100 = base dmg multiplier
After this 1000 dmg the 75% kicks in. Which makes this 750 dmg.
Your normal attack just does 200 * (300 + 100) / 100 = 800 dmg.

Oh, so the 75% kicks in after everything's calculated? Man, that sucks. Thanks for the help.

in 1.09 strafe did the full 100% dmg , and only multi had the -25% dmg penalty. But for some reason blizzard wanted to screw over bowazons even harder , so they gave strafe that penalty too.

it may suck but bowazons are still plenty capable of killing many a monster (and a good deal of other players too keke)

Both MS and Strafe used the same missiles in 1.09 too. Strafe did have the same reduction in 1.09, it just wasn't listed anywhere.

Perhaps it was just me , but I found that strafe killed smaller groups faster then multi ever could. Well perhaps you're right and the 3/4 penalty was there all along (gogo lying stat screen once more) and blizz didn't make a notice of this at all.
