Well, firstly, I don't get it. I understand that it removed that special stat-dependence forms had, but does Strength still influence their damage in the way it does for all melee attacks?
Secondly, does it mean that we can bury Tm^Chei meme now?
- Code:
Simplify base UC damage for forms (minmay)
Blade hands, statue form and dragon form all had base unarmed damage
that scaled with strength (and dexterity, for blade hands). Remove this
scaling and replace it with flat damage.
Naive damage comparison, using the average stats of winning transmuters
at various XLs:
* XL10 (17str, 20dex)
* XL15 (22str, 24dex)
* XL20 (25str, 25dex)
* XL27 (28str, 28dex)
Blade Hands (10% more at XL10, 20% less at XL27):
* XL10: Old: 20, New: 22
* XL15: Old: 23, New: 22
* XL20: Old: 25, New: 22
* XL27: Old: 27, New: 22
Statue Form (same at XL10, 20% less at XL27):
* XL10: Old: 12, New: 12
* XL15: Old: 13, New: 12
* XL20: Old: 14, New: 12
* XL27: Old: 15, New: 12
Dragon Form (40% more at XL10, same at XL27):
* XL10: Old: 23, New: 32
* XL15: Old: 27, New: 32
* XL20: Old: 29, New: 32
* XL27: Old: 31, New: 32
