Archer/Hunter Help Raw Spell Archer

Crazy_Colonel · Oct 26, 2017

so I am trying to make a build with TTide but arrow storm does not make sense, in game it looks like each arrow does 1300 raw but when I try to kill a mob it only takes about 10k dmg.

Would someone explain this to me? #noob#scrub#badatgames#donthateonme

on arrow storm raw damage is spread out across all arrows, if it was on each arrow it would be beyond overpowered

yeah raw damage is only useful with countering defensive mobs like qira, but still not very good on archer

Not really.

It's actually spell multipliers in action.

@Gigavern is correct, this is spell multipliers ;)
This one is for you guys who don't know what he is talking about:

3-3. Raw Damage
At last, we're gonna take a look into how Raw Spell Damage works.
We need to be careful here because some kind of visual glitch is happening when Raw Spell Damage is related.
With this example, I have +233 Raw Spell Damage. Many people think that it'll be added directly to your damage after all other calculations finished, but it's not.
You may have experienced situations like this; you have a lot of Raw Spell Damage, and when you cast Arrow Storm or Multihit, you don't seem to be doing that much damage as the damage indicator shows up.
Yes, that is technically a "visual" glitch. I'll explain how the "real" damage is calculated.

(Raw Spell Damage) x (Spell Multiplier)

That part is of the formula I put on at section 3-1 first, the Raw Damage part.
It literally explains it, but I'll explain how it works with an example.
You have a bow that doesn't do ANY damage by default. (No Base Damage, to simplify the example here.)
You have a piece of armor which gives you +200 Raw Spell Damage.
You have to put the Base Multiplier of Spell Multiplier, so that is 10% Damage each for the Arrow Storm.
So the Damage each arrow does equals to; 200 x 0.1 = 20 Neutral Damage.
1200 Neutral Damage at total if all the arrows hit the enemy. ( 20 x 60 )
This way of calculating the true damage works for other spells as well.
The damage indicator in game just shows +(Raw Damage Amount) to Neutral, but it is wrong.
You're actually doing the damage which we just calculated.
