Archery question (in General)

What's the difference between these two snippets of an archery attack?


Dog struck deep into Munch Bunch with The Lunatic [2174475]


Dog skewered Munch Bunch with The Lunatic [1104794]

Yup, the best part of a million difference in damage.

Thanks to this: Peace And Quiet lvl 4,922,915, which is currently a ToE that I'm trying out.

That's some serious damage reduction going on from such a small tattoo, and while it doesn't help me whatsoever against everything else (including Ranger's and Zenai's chars unfortunately) it has just given me SHD's Vectoidz and that massive ELB.

Wonder what one of the bigger tattoos turned into a ToE would do for me....

I'm guessing not much more, considering the ToE curve.

I don't know where you got me doing over a million damage. I have the following during a battle:

Also, SHD is using a HF so his strength is far less making the TOE more effective.

He still has the ToE on, Ranger. I think the 2 million was a max blow he noticed when NOT having the ToE on. Then the million blow was a max after he put the ToE on...

Sut's right.. now you've posted a lot of hits on me WITH the ToE here's some without for comparison:

Against my poor little defenceless enchanter you're hitting for over two mill per strike when there's no ToE involved.

Now combine the ToE with high AC and you have a real archery/ELB foil.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking.
