This is for calculation of earthen spikes damage
Fellow wizards, enlighten me with fomula please
(I am pretty sure it is calculated differently than magic arrows and magic punch.)
Thanks in advance |

Thanks for the reply dArtagnan,
however I am refering to the bonus spell damage only available to wizards,
And with earthen spikes the bonus gets somewhat "discounted"
I think it's useful for all wizards to know exactly how this is calculated so the damage is predictable when dealing with neutral creatures.
for example my spell power is 4, and faction skill 4, the damage is 43, an odd number indeed. |
(base damage + spell power bonus) * ( 1 + Racial skill*.5)
is the damage calc.
In the case of Earth Spike within the 5 squares that the cross pattern hits...
Assuming No Chaos Magic levels
(8 + 4*spell power) * (1 + Racial skill*.5)
Lets say you have 3 Power and 4 racial skill
in a hunt your damage is
4*3 = 12 (1 + 4*.5)= 3
(8+12) * 3 or 60 dmg to each tile |
Thank you very much mercurial for the formula, I never thought it is a problems before too.
However my previous battle does not support it.

in this battle I made some foolish moves.
but let's focus on my earthen spike spell(my first cast spell),
it is 43 damage each tile
I was with 4 spell power, 4 faction skill, no chaos talent.
according to normal calculation, it should be
(8+16)(1+2)=24*3=72
43 vs 72, this is what I meant "discount"
Problem is I don't know how the discount is configured. |
Damage from area spells = normal damage * (area of the spell + wizard faction level) / area of the spell.
(8+16) * (5+4)/5 = 43.2 |
Great info!
thanks miyabidoll |
