Symbolic Power damage increase is below the listed 30%


Recommended Posts

I was just testing it out in the PvP lobby against the static golems (Light, Medium, and Heavy) and the damage increase is somewhat below the 30% , it varies somewhat between the different weight classes(I assume because the bounding or hit boxes of each of the golems)and accuracy may even be off below my numbers(the % damage increase may even be lower than what have found)considering you can't disable Symbolic Exposure (5% damage increase against Vulnerable foes and that it is causing the Symbols to apply Vulnerability also) which is skewing the damage higher anytime have the Zeal Trait line involved but for Light the damage increase is 20 to 21%, Medium is 23 to 24% and Heavy 25 to 26% . Just pointing this out.

How did you do the damage calculations? Hitbox size and number of hits shouldn't matter because you should be calculating the average per hit damage not DPS. Did you also account for crit rate and weapon strength RNG? On a scepter there is a 13% difference for max and min roll.

I was just checking using Greatsword Symbol Of Wrath on the different Golems, granted I thought it was odd the the number of hits varied depending on if it was Light , Medium or Heavy but if I wasn't running Zeal trait and I disabled the auto attack the damage(direct damage is the only thing I'm looking into not the Burning) is pretty stable(like really stable every hit was the exact same direct damage number) . Note if you are trying to get really exact on your damage numbers you could change your gear to not have any Precision on it so as to be able to ignore Critical Chance or Critical Damage
