For Gash, is the attack damage applied first or is deep wound?

When you use gash, is the attack damage applied first or is deep wound applied first? This is important because deep wound by itself can't actually kill a foe. So for example, say a foe has 50/500 health, and I used gash on it, the attack itself does 40 damage and he suffers a deep wound. Will this be a fatal blow to that foe? Or will I have to attack it again to kill it? Thanks a lot.

I'm pretty sure that, in your example, he would have 1hp left. Could be wrong though.

So you are saying that deep wound is applied after the attack damage?

yeah the damage must go first, or they would die from it.
they always get away with 1hp, wouldnt be possible if damage wound came first, if they havent got endless luck ofc.

Alright, thanks a lot. But say if they had 30 hp (my attack dealt 40 damage), then the foe would die regardless right? Deep wound can't possibly "save" someone right?

lol then they would be dead before the deep wound is applied.

That's what I thought. Thanks, question answered.

Ya you do the dmg which gives a deep wound. Like with a real sword. You have to cut someone for them to have a "deep wound"

Remember though that Gash has to hit a bleeding foe. Even if you gash them and bring them down to 1 health they'll die from the bleeding.

smartest thing ive seen all day (ive been watching cartoons and talknig to people in LA all day ^^)
