Mandau/Mercy Stroke Damage Outliers

Hi all, I recently finished my Mandau(95) and have been toying with it while camping Fistule in Abyssea - Konschtat. In the downtime between pops, I've been killing leeches just to see what the dagger, and MS can do. Mainly I've been running around sneak attacking mobs and using MS unstacked just to see what kind of damage they can do.

Since my normal SA damage ranges from 1-1.3k, I've been hoping to see some 3.5k ODT procs (I've seen 1 so far) so that I can oogle the huge numbers. Then last night, I somehow managed to do this:



Keep in mind, this is with the same gear set that normally yields 1-1.3k SA, so how can I be doing 1.9k? Gearset is just the standard 4/5 af3+2 tp set, with athos boots to cap haste, atheling, twilight, houyi's, brutal/suppa, epona/rajas, raider's boomerang, with str thokcha offhand. Nothing that should be giving some kind of low proc rate boost to crit dmg or something.

It's also apparent that it's not a ODT+set proc on a normal crit, since the 2 hits after that are normal damage. Anyone have any idea whats going on here?

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

What atma were you using?

Well, assuming rr/gh/apoc

(53+13) = 63

63 * 3 = 189 (triple damage proc)

189 + 155 = 344 (add in natural+gear dex, and I'm just guessing here but it should be close depending on race)

344 + 40 + 50 = 434 (add in cruor/rr dex bonus)

434 * 3.15 = 1367 (after pDif)

1367 * 1.44 = 1968 (after crit damage bonus)

Probably made a small mistake somewhere, but looks about right to me.

napster appearently it doesn't give triple dmg for sa....i guess it's mandau proc... i had some double damage procs on sa too outside of abyssea...

I got a 2175 non-SA white damage hit vs the worms near Pallid Percy with normal atmas once so I'd assume SA can go higher.

Of course it can go higher.

Assuming RR/SS/Omnipotent:
((((55+13) * 3) * 3.15) * 1.83) *3 = 3527 damage without SA

(((((55+13) * 3) + (94+102+40+50+50) * 3.15) * 1.83) *3 = 9338 damage with SA

*338 * 1.25 = 11673 damage if it's piercing weak.

(55+13) + (94+102+40+50+50) *3.15 * 1.83 * 3 * 2 = 13973 with SA using the Twashtar's double damage.

((55+13) + 999 + 999) * 3.15 * 1.83 * 3 * 2 * 1.25 = 89320 damage
