Problems With Attacking!!!!!!

OK I hate to sound like I think you're stupid, but... are you sure the "-0"s floating upward are your damage or could they be the damage being done to you?




<--will sometimes be amazed for a split-second at her wanding damage, when in fact it's damage being done to her...

and this is why the PUG wammo is dead...

as for the OP, try posting some screens. my money is on either wrong attribute, but more likely you are attacking rangers with their high elemental armor and the earth eles that use stoneflesh. try smacking a mock and lets see what the number come up as.

Actually, the 1% penetration on skills adds very little actual damage.
A quick test runs up:
16 Axe Mastery, customized 15^50 axe -
0 Strength Wild Blow deals 63 damage to an AL 60 target, and 31 damage on an AL 100 target.
Buffing Strength up to 10...
70 damage and 37 damage.

So, assuming you CRITICAL on an ATTACK SKILL, you'll do 7 more damage vs. squishies and 6 more damage on non-squishies.

You are much better maxing Weapon Mastery and a secondary attribute than trying to use Strength for damage. Strength is purely about the skills, as well as dumping spare points into.

A warrior with low Strength doesn't really deal much less damage than one with high Strength, it just means he's got other things to spend attribute points on.

And... let me re-iterate... Strength ONLY procs on attack SKILLS as opposed to every attack. So you'll do puny extra damage occasionally unless you happen to be a FGJ! Dragon Slasher... where you'll be able to do puny extra damage every attack.

ok forget the question some people are not getting it and some are reading tooo much into it I have a MAX DMG SWORD from Profacies have MAX SWORDMANSHIP+1 have 6+1 Strength and I do more dmg with a low lv weapon from nightfall ok now don't read too much into it and I have no time to screenshot! And forget the skills there doint there dmg its all a question about why my Sword from a different place dosen't work. or maybe I should go to photics sence noone can answer the question and most are reading too much into it!

heres the problem: no one knows what the problem is, so no one can answer it. if everything you are saying is correct, then there should be no reason for what you say is happening to be happening. you have everyone here stumped unless we get more information.

we are asking deeper into things because from the information given, the results you are getting should not be happening.

HOW ABOUT YOU POST A FRIGGING SCREENSHOT OF YOUR K WINDOW, YOUR WEAPON AND THE MOBS YOU DEAL 0 DAMAGE TO? HUHUHUHUH?

yes but the things they are asking for don't affect anything they're good nothing is wrong with the skills dmg just when I attack reqularly and those are the attribut readings not how many points I used I'm lv 20 ascended and can only hurt stuff in prof for some reason was asking to see if anyone is having this problem I can do dmg but only if I change my wep with any other wep I picked up in nightfall don't play in factions so have no clues bout that area just asking cause I don't wana have to switch weps!

i understand. but i have never, ever heard of anything ever even remotely similar to what is happening with you. it simply shouldnt happen. a 15-22 sword should do the exact same dmg to any enemy of equal armor level (aside from skills/buffs used by the enemy) regardless of chapter.

that leaves two options: either this is some kind of new, never before seen, unheard of glitch that you are the first and only person to experience; or we are not getting all the info (level of enemies, class of enemies, skills used by enemy, all the mods of the weapon, ect...). the obvious one to question first would be the info issue, as its the much more likely issue. no one is discrediting what you have said, we just want all of the info before we cry broken game mechanics.

I'm currently at work wich is the only time I can come on the forum and IT'S ALLL MOBS IN NIGHTFALL

getting a screen shot tomarrow its going to be funny

are you attacking the mandragors with stoneflesh aura? My Tyrian warrior has none of the problems you are going on about.

It's obviously the new anti-farm code, mobs become invincible after 3 consecutive forays into a zone. 0.O

Ya, once we see the screenshots, there might be something new to discuss.

dark prince, people ARE trying to help you. I realize you are frustrated, but please understand that no one on this forum is trying to actively frustrate you.

If you are indeed experiencing a glitch or bug that needs to be fixed, you'd need to send screenies to ANet anyway, so when people are asking for that--in response to you asking for help--it shouldn't be too much more work for you.

I sure am, but what could I possibly due to frustrate a person who can't deal damage to his enemies except lmao.

KANE

maybe since you are so frustrating ANET just decided to hate you.....


just do this, post a screen shot of you doing 0 dmg with the dragon sword, dmg with other swords, and your attribute list, then we actually might be able to help you.

Personally (this is what I would just do), if you are having so much frickin trouble with that sword, THEN SWITCH. It isn't that complicated. Even at that dmg with a sowrd isn't that great skills are deffinetaly better. Just stick with skills and don't fret over doing 0 dmg with your sword while just attacking.

Well? where are the screen shots?

Are the numbers red or yellow? Red is damage to you, yellow is damage delt (Im sure you already know that but its easy to be mistaken)

This thread reeks of being a joke topic....

If you're having problems with just the Kournans, probably what's happening is they're using [skill]"Stand Your Ground!"[/skill] or if it's just Mandragors, they're probably using [skill]Stoneflesh Aura[/skill].

Also, this is definatly starting to look like a joke thread, but if it isn't hope this helps a little bit.

Jokes are really getting lame these days...sheesh.

Isn't there supposed to be like...a punchline?

More likely it was operator error, combat text misinterpretation, etc.
