Xenthos/Desi/Ixion all agree that damage/wounds is constant, so I won't bother testing that more than a few times.

As for 12 strength, I tested more with Bashara, and 12 always comes out doing more than 13 and 14.

With no armour:
12 str
852 damage, 366 wounds
13 str
791 damage, 340 wounds

With 117 blunt resist (insane) fullplate:
12 str
256 damage, 87 wounds
13 str
238 damage, 81 wounds
14 str
247 damage, 84 wounds

117 fullplate makes me sad.

I made sure of that before we started the first set of tests. Mercy isn't up, and I don't have any other regeneration benefits outside of my natural Orclach regen. The regen doesn't start ticing until at least two-three seconds AFTER I take damage, and I have a punching bag system and my prompt to auto record damage directly after Rika hits me.

That's not how regeneration tends to work...

If your 12 stat is doing more damage, then you are doing something wrong or there's something else at work that you are missing. There is nothing in the code that could possibly give 12 more damage than higher stats.

EVERYTHING else is being kept the same, though.

Would my 130 make you even sadder? TEEHEE

You still have never said how many tests you are doing. You should do multiple tests (at least 20) and average them out.

This won't help at all if it's not actually variable.

The question is whether or not 12 itself is variable for some reason.

But it's already been agreed that all 20 tests would be the same.

Faymar, 87 blunt resistance

12 str:
617 damage, 175 wounds
13 str:
573 damage, 153 wounds

Test size 12's wounding just to be sure.

I'll punt it to Roark, but I just think you guys are wrong.

Bah, I'll now have to eat Crow.

I just realized what may cause it. Try again!

Which is why we truly appreciate you listening to our testing and input. Thank you.

Experimental vs how it looks in code can be very different, as we've seen multiple times before.

Gap from 11 strength to 12 strength seems a bit big now. And yes, I did retest 11 strength and it was the same as last time.

EDIT: Please eat Crow. No one likes him. ninja.gif

To be fair, that's with Forging runes, but I NEVER leave home without those on, so it's only fair to include them happy.gif

You have a Mallet and probably spent the time to get that. Some of us have more important and self-sacrificing things to do, like let our bodies be used as punching bags nyah.gif

Same conditions as previous. Aslaran and elfen are 18 dex, because Xenthos is a whiner.

23 Strength (tae'dae):
rapiers - 2096 wounds, 839 damage     broadswords - 962 wounds, 1742 damage

          Difference (rapiers, dmg):      Difference (broadswords, dmg):

Not sure if my values are off, but it seems the magic number is reaching 17 and 20 strength. Someone else might want to check and verify.
