Something are broke with pierce
Hi!
Sorry my english
I checked my knight build at three calcs and get the same expected damage per pierce, but when i play in the server, i get less damage (5050-5200 expected, around 4700-4800 in real play). I think that the bug is in the pierce formula, maybe related to the spear mastery and multistrikes.
I tested with a +10 pike with 4 kaho, 100 str, 49 dex. Skills pierce 10, spear mastery 10, cavalier mastery 5. Used at least 10 times pierce in each mob.
Vs Porcellio (small, one hit) : Getted the expected damage from calc.
Vs Geographer (medium, two hit) : Under the expected damage from calc
Vs Flora (large, three hit) : Under the expected damage from calc
Vs Pitman, with endow and bless-agi (large, three hit) : Under the expected damage, and feel that the difference isnt linear, was the most distance between the expected and the real damage.
From irowiki classic " Because Weapon Masteries are added at the end of every attack (but before card and elemental modifiers) they are not effected by skill modifiers. Bash Lv. 10 will not multiply Weapon Mastery ATK by 400%, and Sonic Blow will not multiply Katar Mastery ATK by 800%: the mastery damage is added on once at the end. However, Weapon Mastery ATK can be counted more than once on certain skills. Since Bowling Bash hits twice, the Weapon Masteries are counted once for each hit, for a total of two times. This also applies to Pierce when Pierce hits two or three times. "
