[Bushido] Tested WW "bogus" damage [FIXED!] =)

[Tabin]

Update: Dev's fixed it. Wooohoo! Bushido is now better than ever. WW does more damage to all other surrounding monsters (not to the primary). See image on the bottom.


According to UOGuide.com, I should be doing an extra....64 damage at 120 bushido with 4 enemies surrounding me!

QUOTE: "For example, if you are using a weapon with Whirlwind on it, and you are surrounded by 4 enemies, and have a Bushido skill of 90, the additional damage you do to each of those enemies will be 36 points of additional damage"

That sounds SWEET right?! Extra 36 points of additional damage to EACH enemy?! Wrong. I see zero additional damage. =(

Is this "bonus damage" considered "damage increase" that you normally get from items? If so, that explains the results of my tests....because I see 0 actual difference. Guess I should have tried running 0 DI on my gear.

I did a simple test
Image 1: regular hit damage
Image 2: 120 bushido WW with four mud eles surrounding me (double axe, ele slayer)
Image 3: 0 bushido WW with four mud eles surrounding me (double axe, ele slayer)

You do show more damage in the first screen than the 2nd - though that's certainly well within the variation one might expect from different AR, and surely not 40 more damage.

I would be quite curious to see the effect of Frenzied Whirlwind, just to compare.

Tuan. First screen is double strike damage (regular hitting). 2nd screen is WW with 120 bushido. 3rd screen is WW with 0 bushido. I initially expected the 2nd screen (WW with 120 bushido) to do the most damage, but it looks to be the same.

Average damage is about 50, but depends on the resist of the mud ele.

Good point about Frenzied Whirlwind. That might be worth testing. =)

It would be interesting to see if you reduced DI by 40% and then if there is a difference.

Happy to say that this got fixed today! Looks like the devs took notice. Yay! I added an updated photo at the end with a green smiley face. Normal hits were doing about 55 damage. Surrounding WW hits were 75-85.

Note: I dropped LJ and picked up parry so in the previous photos, I was doing higher damage normal hits. I'm also using a different weapon (100% fire instead of 100% cold) so I wouldn't focus too much on differences in damage from the old photos vs new ones.
