Damage drops with updated Enhancements

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.coh (More info?)

Huh. I leveled to 32, took Rage, and was watching my damage numbers
closely to see how slotting it affected things.

With all 30/31 (-1 or -2) Damage against white minions, I got:

Jab 36
Punch 65
Haymaker 107
Knockout 233

With about half the Dmgs replaced by 35s (+3), I got:

Jab 44
Punch 75
Haymaker 131
Knockout 247

With the rest of the Dmgs replaced, I got:

Jab 40
Punch 63
Haymaker 104
Knockout 218

....the hell?

How were these four powers slotted?

Is this a new change? I didn't know you could slot Damage in
Rage.

Was this against the same white minions?

Different things are resistant/vulnerable to certain damage types - that
could be the difference.

That was it. I was having trouble finding level 32 Crey minions, so I was
beating up other stuff. Different numbers. *Click*. He can be taught!

I've never watched the damage numbers before - turned them off in the Chat
window long ago, only occasionally enable my Damage-only window. And I feel
a bit idiotic that I just now discovered that foe health/end bars in the
Target window can be read numerically. Bleah.

A whole lotta questions about foe durability have become clear, though -
like why I can dispatch a Geode with one punch, but those damn Fungoids
take five... etc. so forth repeat.

Can they? I should pay more attention myself then.
I've always wondered how people report on the exact health numbers
someone they're fighting has.

Hover your arrow over the bars, just as you do with your own. I mean, it's
a 9.5 on the duh-o-meter once you know you can read your own bars; I have
NO idea why I never tried it before.

Because in 'arrests' you're more worried about watching the guy fall down,
instead of anticipating it?
