Damage Bonus?

[Kensh]

I dunno if this is a monk only thing or what, but i've noticed on all weps that i see the normal damage and delay, then there's a "Dmg bonus".. does this count for anything? Here's a pic for those of you who dont know what i'm talking about,

Dmg Bonus carries over from live. It is disabled/ not working on Winter's Roar due to balance reasons. Just ignore that stat.

Ah ok, thanks.

 

[Anadin]

yep.

As said, it was carry over from live.

On live, damage bonus was directly added to your damage... ie a weapon with a damage bonus of 8 would never hit for less than 1+8.

This made weapons with low delays infinately more powerful, especially at the end game. Damage bonus was unresistable damage.

I believe wizzy balanced the melee game before damage bonus was available for EQEMU, and didn't feel like changing the basis of the server just to add this crap. Then again, I am talking out my ass. Like the American Liberal I am. <3

Yup, for 1handed weapons the formula was
Max(0,(youLevel-25)/3)
so at lvl 28 it started to be dmg bonus 1.

AYe suh.

It was also different for two handers, and all that crap... I never worried about it much. I just parsed my DPS if I was unsure.
