Ex shot and the RBF (in General)


QBJohnnywas January 17 2008 8:39 AM EST

Ok, one of my fightlist is 'janx' as run by Wotan. A four minion RBF/archer team that looks like it was influenced by Koy. The RBF is one of the top 20 RBFs so I'm going to presume it's quite big.

Anyway here's the thing: I win hands down. Despite the RBF, despite an EC that's casting for over a million.

And what's more the RBF doesn't appear to be cutting my exshot damage down in these battles. I've seen it reduced to (0) before now, but these ones...I have about 40k strength after being hit by the EC and I hit the RBF minion for over 200k damage.

Point is: does anybody else not see an RBF cutting ex shot damage down, or cutting it completely, or anything at all.

The above seems a little off somehow.

This is my fight against you, i switched the evasion dude away to allow you to hit my minions, and only when there is spread damage the RoBF sucks the damage away, but as soon as the RoBF minion is alone your exp shot does huge damage to it, not reducing is one bit.

yeah, it doesn't seem to block direct attack - just spread fire. I'm going back to read old changelogs and stuff. I vaguely remember Jon mentioning that to be the case.

Thanks Henk.

Over 300k spread damage, Yikes. That is more then a lot of minions FB hits for. LoL.

The wiki says it protects against splash damage. Which I've seen on several occasions. Looks like it is only spread damage though. Which is nice.
