-= Assassin new skill damage problems =-

Alright let's take a look at the new skills:
Venomous Strike 1
Quickening Doom 1

Both of these skills states:

Venomous Strike 1: 268-309 + 585 bonus damage to back.
Quickening Doom 1: 813-994 + 419 bonus damage if poisoned or stunned.

Another skill that's not new:

Swift Edge V: 434-471 No bonus damage.

I'm using a +15 tahabata's Sword and +15 tahabata's dagger.

Now in a duel vs a ranger. My swift edge skill (first chain)

Deals 490 damage to the player, while the skill states that it only does 431-471...

But when I used Venomous Strike 1: That has a total of 853-894 (skill bonus added)... only did 785

Quickening Doom 1: the skill states that it does a total of
1232-1413 damage (skill bonus added)... only did 841.

My problem is that... a skill like swift edge V did more damage than the skill window suggested... but the greater stigma skills / normal stigma skills, didn't even do ENOUGH damage.

Before you read this and flame about "yeah yeah there's pvp %50 reduction of damage + physical defense + pvp % defense."

If you read carefully, I've already stated my swift edge did MORE damage than what the skill says... but Venomous strike + Quickening Doom did not deal as much damage as the window says.

That is the problem, damage is incorrect. I've done all of the calculations.

Please can I have readers and insightful players read this, I honestly don't want "English-as-a-second-language" players reading this and flaming me.

This is a thread discussed for the PROS of Aion, not the scrubs who think they're good with their "donator sets + high ping + expect to win attitudes."

 

To the very start: I am not a Donator, not posessing a donator set, nor I'm ginna flame you !

Tried out this one too long time ago and found out some normal and strange results.
Normal:
1. Well it depends on the equip of the other player + player class. That's basic and you know it too (and I don't mean the PVP equip).
2. It depends highly on you weapon. I'm using 2 daggers (more crit) but it's up to you to decide (at least you could try it out^^) and it helped me a lot of times
3. depending on skills enemy's are using but if you say that you were testing it, I guess there were no skills activated (so this point is kinda meaningless).

Strange:
1. You've seen the ingame bugs when you're right at the enemy and still can't use a skill cuz you're "too far away"? don't need to say more
2. sometimes even IF you're at the back from the oponent, it still don't work. That's kinda a bug or something, maybe even not but still this happends really often and THIS could be the solution to those two skills.

PS: I've used those skills and it worked for me...now I kinda wonder why it's not working for you ... still I have to admit that I've played some days ago and there could be something that have changed but...still dunno why
Happy if I could help you even a bit, if not...sry there gotta be someone who surely can help you more

 

Alright before I use any of those skills I use ambush first, to make sure I'm behind my opponent, aswell as I actually run behind them without them moving (I have a testing friend to help me hehe).

And yeah there are many things bugged on this server.
The skills work for me, they stun, and they poison, but they don't deal the correct mathematical damage. That's all I'm saying, thanks for your input.

 

the dmg stats on a skill are just the base, for example a sorc will hit 19k on some1 with a skill that at max says around 5k,

 

maibe its ur buffs...when u hit good dmg with swift edge u had a dmg buff on and when u used venomous and quickening u didnt have that buff anymore meaning less dmg (correct me if im wrong plz )

 

Then why the hell would I be here telling you about this problem???

Of course I'm going to have consistency when I test things.

I had no attack buffs on during either of the tests of each skill...

 

A lot of the skills over 50 seem to actually be bugged, like the SM pets have health and damage issues. It seems sins have issues with damage. Just need to see what else might be wrong with other classes.

 

Yeah unfortunately I only main sin, so I didn't look into any other classes bugs.

I can see that, but did you not read everything?

Swift edge did 490 when it only said 471 max.

Quickening doom did 841 when it supposed to deal 1413 altogether with bonus.

Venomous Strike did 785 when it supposed to deal 894 altogether with bonus.

Swift edge did MORE than the skill window suggested.

Quickening Doom + Venomous Strike did LESS then what the skill window suggested...

Read carefully next time please.
