Does The Vorpal Effect Really Work Vs ToE (in General)


King July 3 2008 6:20 PM EDT

I've noticed my VB when up against certain people with ToEs doesn't seem to get any larger(as if cutting through damage reduction) hits after multiple rounds.

Is this from my extremely small (100k vs non-ToE opponents) damage even though it's hitting over 30 times or is Endurance keeping it's level of effect?
Also please limit requests for further fightlogs i can get more but spellcheck is forcing me to put in a lot of < br > tags to keep it from being a block of text

Endurance is still effective because the damage is low. The VB halves endurance right?

But if you are doing 100k damage it doesn't make a difference versus a big ToE.

If they have 1 mil levels of Endurance, and it's halved to 500k levels of Endurance, Endurance is just as effective on your 100k Damage.

Unless I've been mistaken for a long time, the VB doesn't destroy damage reduction on its targets. It simply ignores 50% of it.

Cube July 3 2008 6:29 PM EDT

That's correct. It's only the VB's damage that ignores 50% of the damage reduction. Extra hits does not get rid of more damage reduction.

King July 3 2008 6:29 PM EDT

I guess someone should clarify the wiki then since "Reduces effective AC/Endurance by 50% on attack" is somewhat confusing, thanks folks.

Done.
