Damage Tests (Conjures, AoHM, Asura Scan, IATS!)

I decided to see if I could find an alternative to putting Aura of Holy Might on my bar, not that I wanna replace it just wanted to see if there was any way I could get better damage some other way. Anyway, I ended up testing a bunch of skills and figured I'd share some of the results. My math isn't the best but I think it's correct or at least close to correct. Feel free to correct me or add to this if I'm wrong.

- Target Armor 60

- Fiery Scythe, Fire Damage: 9-41, Damage: +15% (When health is above 50%) Used a fire scythe cause I wanted to test a conjure and I kept it for the other tests to remain consistent.

- When I used Conjure Flame my Fire Magic = 8 which is (+13 fire damage)

- Asura Scan = 75% More Damage at rank 10 on the Asura Title Track

- I am the Strongest! = +20 Damage at rank 10 on the Norn Title Track

- Aura of Holy Might = 24% More damage at rank 4 on the Kurzick Title Track

- Scythe Mastery = 14

Normal attack = [86] Critical
Normal attack + Conjure Fire = [99] Critical (86 + 13 = 99)
Normal attack + I am the Strongest = [106] Critical (86 + 20 = 106)
Normal attack + Aura of Holy Might = [130] Critical (86 + 44{52%} = 130)
Normal attack + Asura Scan = [150] Critical (86 + 64 = 150)

I’m not sure how Aura of Holy Might adds its damage but as everyone knows it’s not the % that’s displayed on the skill description. I’m not that great at math (like I already said) but I calculate the damage and it should be something like this (86 + 20 = 106). So what that means is that if I was actually doing 24% more damage my total damage from a normal attack should be 106. In game testing I got 130, that’s a difference of 24 points of damage and more then double what it should be. I’m actually doing 52% more damage not the stated 24%. If this doesn’t make you wanna put Aura of Holy Might on your bar I dunno what will.

Normal attack + Conjure Fire + I am the Strongest = [119] Critical (86 + 13 + 20 = 119)
Normal attack + Conjure Fire + I am the Strongest + Asura Scan = [208] Critical (119 + 89{75%} = 208)

Asura Scan does multiplies your total damage by the stated 75% that includes I am the Strongest and Conjures. So it seems it checks all your buffs first then multiplies that by the stated % on AS.

Normal attack + I am the Strongest + Aura of Holy Might = [150] Critical (86 + 20 + 44 = 150)

Damage boost with I am the Strongest + Aura of Holy Might kept AoHM's bonus damage the same at + 44. So it only modifies base damage somehow.

Normal attack + I am the Strongest + Aura of Holy Might + Asura Scan = [262] Critical (150 + 112{75%} = 262)

good test. i had general ideas of how these compared, but this is very quotable.

only think you might want to add in is the additional damage from a vamp mod then you arent using a conjure.

Think you can update this with sundercrits included in the tests?

IIRC, AoHM raises your damage rating by the listed number. For you @r4, it should be giving +24DR, which translates to 2^(24/40)=1.5157, or roughly +52% damage, which is right in line with your numbers.

At r10, AoHM raises DR by 32, which is a 74% damage increase.

Since AoHM adds directly to DR, it affects your base damage, which is further enhanced by any % modifiers.

In short, it's a terrifyingly powerful skill.

im sure im not the only person around here who dosnt really understand damage rating. Its not a huge concern, i just know it adds a crapload of damage.
