I wouldn't worry.. Stabju is a horrible player, he's probably lucky he got that many nukes off on you!

NS Castable damage/Midnight Strike,deleve's for 73 and is cold damage,his cold resist is %30.


Something is fishy there,were u seriously debuffed at the time or something??

Could have been hit with a chanter debuf yeah

But, for a shade, varience and damage are based off dex/stealth, add in 10% resist pierce, and perhaps 8% spell damage from dragon boots and astral staff and maybe even a relic and you'll get those sort of figures with a 'caster' shade's baseline spells, especially with wp.

The irony is, that my nightshade gets more return on investment out of templating spell pierce/magic damage than my ranger does. Once my ranger enters melee, his spell pierce/magic damage is useless, my nightshade however gets a damage boost to her lifebane, toxic venom, posionspike and insta DD's from those bonuses.

Awsten's wisdom.
How does 10% magic damage and 10% spell pierce add up to 23% more damage in poisons?
Hey genius, how about this, Point blank is a 3 sec spell and so is the nightshade nuke.

I hear ya,NS's benefit alot more then rangers,rangers need help imo.


But a NS hitting someone for 400-500 damage with cold resist at %30 seems shakey to me,especially when it delves for 73,

idk all the formula's,mabye it is possable with everything u said...


I would like to know if someone knows the formula,for max MAGIC damage a NS can do with everything u said,on a lvl 50 with say...%10 cold resist...

It doesn't delve for 73. At level 39, the cast nuke delves for 99, it's probably 50% higher at 50.

I'd say the three hits around 370 were regular hits, given how little teh variance is, the other two benefitted from fat crits thanks to WP.

The OP's resists are a bit poo, throw in a caster shade with nice template bonuses and specced RA's like mastery of magery (which rangers cant get ) and wild power crits and it's perfectly doable.

(before CL resists)
20% cold
20% heal
9% matter
12% body
24% spirit
12% energy

That's not a template. Hell I could easily get a lot better resists than that with a full dragonslayer or even epic set and just some random jewelry to get somewhat decent stats/resists.


Are you seariously complaning that some probably good geared rr10 NS that's most likely heavily invested into casting RAs is nuking your untemplated rr3 scout (assuming you're Polydamas) for 371 damage per nuke?
