Damage of - foo - slayers

[pblack]

I always wondered what's the damage done by slayers in general. I mean, they do double damage? they bypass PV? what's the deal with those things anyway. A worthless piece of brown glass of demon slaying will damage a moloch but sometimes even an eterium 2 hander won't so.... has anyone made any research on that?

melee 2xdamage 3xif blessing weapon helps. That can go further on modified with backstab class power...

I think cap is 12x - high level assassin stabbing demon with blessed executor for example....

According to Malte missiles are anywhere from 2x to 5x with blessed ones jumping to 3-6.

[Necropassion]

Aren't all missiles 3-6X (before modifiers for blessing against daemons/undead), while regular (PC) missile crits are in the range of 2-5X?

Monster criticals can in my experience always do up to 5X damage.

go argue with Malte if you can find him.

I think he's into POWDER now. At least I think
I remember seeing a post from him there not
too long ago. If JADE were to be released, we
might see a return : )

I have actually never read any code dived info
on that, but I think there is some floating around
out there.

neither did I.

I remember in my fling the bling games, that when
fighting high PV monsters, only criticals would damage
them. Funny though, it seems like they always did
damage. I can't remember ever landing a critical that
didn't damage the opponent. It's hard to believe that
a simple x2 multiplier alone could do that, but then
again, I did have missile damage highly boosted.
