My initial tests of this feel as though it's a bit weak. The below is with 356 TM and waiting for full target. I realize it shouldn't do as much damage per hit as STRA because it's multi-hit and meant to also knock down, but I didn't (seem to?) get the knockdown at all and the hits seemed underpowered for the amount of mana and skill involved vs fledgling and baby gryphons.

I was a little distracted, so I only did those ones and I was wearing the shield. I'll do a few quick tests with me holding it. Unfortunately though, while I love the concept of the spell, if it requires me to hold my shield, I'll probably use a different TM spell.

Do the stats of the shield affect the spell?

>>but I didn't (seem to?) get the knockdown at all

Are quadripeds still harder to knockdown than bipeds? Could be the reason...

>> I'm having completely different results.

My results changed right after this first one, oddly enough. I don't know if that means Raesh secretly loves us and changed something. And I'm using the Aftermath pavise shield of very heavy doom. If needed, I can post the stats.

I have held and worn it for my tests without noticeable differences.

Well, other advanced multi hits, such as fireball seem to be hitting far harder. A warmie I have access to can kill very effectively with it with 100 less ranks of magics than me (including TM). I think this is because other multi strikes have a much higher portion of elemental damage (which monsters and players have less defense against).

I think because this spell is a multi strike that deals primarily physical damage, the higher physical damage mitigation seen on players and monsters is crushing its damage output all together..

>>I think because this spell is a multi strike that deals primarily physical damage, the higher physical damage mitigation seen on players and monsters is crushing its damage output all together..

Warklins aren't just "more" resistant to impact than slice, they're extremely resistant to impact. It's also inaccurate to say monsters are generically weaker to elemental than physical, as that varies hugely by both damage type (slice or impact instead of generic physical, fire or electrical instead of generic elemental) and creature type (Boar Clan undead are highly resistant to fire for example).

Try a similar-mana cast against gryphons, as I have never noticed them being resistant to any particular damage type. Or you could do a vitality test at similar mana with similar TM ranks.

I 'think' you have your resists confused on Warklin. Warklin are very resistance to slice, not so much impact.

http://www.elanthipedia.org/w/index.php/Warklin_Mauler

"Very slice resistant. More-so than the Armored Warklins. With 400 in heavy edged and blood zerk going I'm still only landing grazing to good hits. Blunts or brawling gear a must."

When fighting them with my heavy thrown (hammer, impact. Has almost no puncture damage and no impact damage) I do very good damage. I have tried fighting them with heavy slice weapons with low impact and done very poorly, and now use axes because of their greater impact to actually deal damage.

FST deals damage of one type from what has been established. FST with a Slicer deals significantly more damage, however I wanted to test this and be sure. Here is FST casts with a hammer on a warklin:

9 casts to kill it. Each cast had 10 more mana invested in it than my FST did (20+ min prep for each).


The damage on the spell is really just blek. This test was actually the best amount of 4 hits I have seen, not sure if that was tweaked or not. Having it hit once or twice for meaningless (glancing) damage is a bit sad. I have not had that issue with fireball not hitting multiple locations.

Good to know you can get them to fall over at that much mana. Can you get them to fall over with significantly less?

>>Good to know you can get them to fall over at that much mana. Can you get them to fall over with significantly less?

I just went 20 for 20 with knockdowns at 15 mana in Quartz Gargoyles with 148 TM. I know they're lower than what some of you are testing it on, but if I can do it with min mana in Gargoyles while hunting at level I don't see why it's so hard for some of you at higher ranks. Theoretically it should scale with ranks and mob level. The only thing I can think of is that some mobs are harder to knock down than others, or maybe the shield matters. I'm using the Pavis Shield from Aftermath, which is big and heavy(520 stones).

Here's the log if you care. 20 for 20 with knockdowns(except for when the spell actually kills the mob, I counted those even though it doesn't technically give the knocked down message). Earlier before I started testing and logging I had one Gargoyle who didn't get knocked all the way down and was instead dropped to his knees, but that's the only time in probably 40+ uses that I didn't knock them down with min prep at level hunting.

I think its a stat issue, not sure.

I dont know what the contest is to know what stats are relevant, but it seems above a certain threshhold of monster, knock downs becomes very hard, which makes me think that the mana is not amplifying the stat contest properly.

The damage runs through the core TM utility like all TM spells.

"Ever notice that B.A.'s flavor text swells in direct proportion to how much one of our characters is getting screwed?" - Brian Van Hoose

>> The damage runs through the core TM utility like all TM spells.

It seems to be about the same as Strange arrow for damage but the knock down is very handy for their balance.

I'm still seeing very sub par damage, and I've yet to knock down a warklin (which can be knocked down pretty easily through normal combat). I can kill them in about 5-6 casts of FST/STRA with medium mana pumped into them, full targetting, I have good discipline and Marshall Orders up.

How does the spell determine if something is immune?

I'll post more logs, but my suspicion is still that the damage of the spell being heavily physical is not interacting well with combat variables, where other multi strike spells (this is all presumption) have a higher percentage of damage from elemental than physical sources.

More casts, warklin, confirmed these can be knocked down.
