Is this right?

[archiv]

I have this suspiscion that something is not right here. My fencer/paly with 120 fencing, tactics, anat and 90ish chiv...fighting fan dancers, which to my understanding are weak to daemon slayers.
Here is what's wrong, Using normal weapon with 50% DI, I do between 20 and 30 damage. I switch to slayer and do 30 to 42 damage. I use EoO and I do (here's the confusion) 35 to 46 damage. I toss on consecrate weapon and do 42 to 45 damage. Has something been tweaked? using Captain Quacklebush's cutlass as the normal weapon and the daemon slayer from museum turn-ins as my slayer. Just seems odd that I'm doing equal or less damage with my chiv spells then without. Am I broken?

Well...as long as you're achieving 300% for your damage increase, you are pretty much capped.

1. Yes fan dancers are weak to daemon slayers.

2. A better weapon then Captain's Q's cutlass is needed. Read #3.

3. With fighting it is all about as much damage as you can complete...over time. This is a big deal because if I am able to hit 20 times in a minute for a total of 500 damage, that is better than if I have a slower swing rate and hit 8 times for a total of 100 damage in the same minute.

4. I would say otherwise your weapon resist versus the creatures resist, BUT in this case a fan dancer is weak to both physical and energy. Your weapon of course is 100% physical damage.
