Coruscanti Occasionally Deals Severe Damage...

Long time lurker on forums here, hi.

I recently got a coruscanti, and I've had for about a week now. I haven't noticed any quadruple damage shots just eyeballing. I decided to single wield the dagger and parse attacks on seaboard vultures, the birds in Misareaux. The dagger was single-wielded and no samba was used just in case. I have 1414 attacks recorded and not one of them can be even remotely considered quadruple damage.

Normal hit low: 65
Normal hit high: 160
Average: 90.94

Critical low: 158
Critical high: 250
Average: 193.48

I know this is pseudo-statistics, but it seems unsettling that I haven't seen a quadruple damage attack yet after 1414 swings. I'm not saying it's not true, but is there any proof that the severe damage is quadruple damage?

Thanks for your time if you read this.

It was found that the description was another of Square's botched translations (and another that leaves a bad taste from the anticipation).

The dagger was found to have crit hit rate +5%. Its posted on the item's page on this site.

I thought the botched translation simply left off the 5% critical rate, meaning it has the 5% in addition to the severe damage.

One would assume so, but according to alot of numbers folks are coming up with, yours included, it would appear that either the rate of the "severe damage" is ridonculously low (as in .01% or lower), or it simply does not exist at all.

Being a realist, and considering Square's track record for major disappointments in this game, I tend to lean toward the latter over the former.

In the original video, and on the JP Weapon, It shows both the Crit Rate +5%, and the Occ. deals Severe Damage.

Its either ridiculously low proc rate or its broken at the moment, But it is its own unique stat

Sounds sort of broken, one would suspect it would at least be on the same level as other aura weapons in terms of proc rate, which proc at least once every 1500 swings!

Maybe test it on something that doesn't have a piercing bonus? Perhaps when it procs, it gives you the piercing bonus?

That doesn't necessarily even look like double damage.

I have no idea where the quadruple damage rumor came from. It certainly wasn't generated on any of the forums through testing like yours.

Probably this
""Occasionally deals severe damage" appears to be quadrupal damage. Credit to Byrth on BGwiki"

Someone posted the statement that it looked like quadruple damage, but there was no associated testing. Allegedly it was from JP reports. I'm surprised I even put it on bgwiki.

it sure is causing some PANDAmonium!

Ba-dum-tush.

Can't help but think Quake III when I read quad damage.

Too bad it doesn't seem to be a real thing atm.

I updated most of the Dancer traits for the 99 cap on bgwiki. I still need to do a lot of subtle blow testing, Resist Slow is pretty much not an option, and Evasion Bonus can go suck a pener. The rest are there though.

I must say I appreciate your work, Byrth!

np, lol

Until I get a working adapter I really can't do anything in game. Testing things like Skillchain Bonus take a lot less coordination than doing a Dynamis run and double Salvage, so I'm sticking to the test server until my adapter (hopefully) arrives. Oh woe is me, I don't get to finish 95 Twashtar quite as quickly. As if it matters...

We want to assume it's something like "double" or "triple" damage, but we already have help text which directly states that.

I'd guess it means something like "occasionally calculates as if attack is capped"

At least, that's the hypothesis I'd make to approach testing.

Sure, if you want.

just to poke in here, after my continual use, i have yet to see anything out of the ordinary with this dagger. I've also been getting msg's from other people asking me if i have found anything regarding the extreme damage. So im pretty convinced that it's currently broken. wouldnt be the first time, siriti had enblizzard when it came out.

To my understanding this dagger is broken on live servers but functions on the test server. Reports indicate someone taking an NM down from 80% in a single Evisceration. No source, but it was somewhere around here or on BG, though I don't remember seeing an actual screenshot or the like.

I wouldn't really be too surprised if this were the case, however. BLU has had similar issues with broken things on main servers just to have them functioning on the test server.

the 80% -> death statement was me actually, i found out shortly after that i have party filtered and the blm in party had a set proc roughly the same time i ws'd

edit: @josh im considering it, i wanted to make sure that no one else found anything i may have missed.

there: bug report posted
