Calculating a certain boss's damage ..

[LozHinge the Unhinged]

Hi
I was trying to figure out how a boss pack one-shotted me recently - have I got my calculations right, please?

Dark Stalker Boss in The Pit, Level 2 (Hell)
mlvl 69+3 = 72
Base damage = 44-88
Aura enchanted (Might Lvl72/4) Dam +210% = x3.1
Cursed (Amp Dam) = x2
Extra strong = x2.5
/players 8 = x1.4375

Boss Damage = 980 - 1960
Minions would have been doing base dam x3 x2 x1.75 x1.4375 = 664 - 1328 each


That was quite some stairtrap! Are my figures about right? If they are ... well ... damn. :shocked:

Thanks. :thumbsup:

I don't really have much time at the moment to run through a calculation with you, but a few points you might need to change:


- On NM and Hell Monsters use the area level as a base mlvl, so dark stalkers in pit lvl 2 would have an mlvl of 85 (or 88 for bosses).
- Note that Minions gain +2 to their mlvl, unlike bosses
- Extra strong on Hell provides 99% extra damage. Minions receive half of this
- Might aura is mlvl / 6
- Unique monsters gain a damage bonus as well, simply for being a boss. On hell, this is 66%

Thanks for that, Orphan. I'll run the figures again. I had obtained my details from the AS, but as we all know, the info isn't always accurate there.

Just want to see whether I can come up with a strategy for surviving such a thing in the future.

that's about the worst it can get for melee, unless a fanat aura was nearby too :shocked:

This combination on some blood lords would be far worse. A nearby fanat aura and some sort of enchantment such as FE would make things horrible.
