Hello there.
I’ve been playing blood necro on an alt, particularly focused around overpower. There is however an issue with our ultimate ability “Blood Wave”, it simply does not do the overpower damage that it should.
From the way i understand it, overpower takes your hp and fortified, and multiplies it with overpower damage, and the damage modifier (blood wave has 120%) of your skill.
Something like this:
Hp + Fortified x ((overpower / 100) x (skill / 100)) = overpower damage
That would look a little like this with my necromancer stats.
6873 + 6873 x ((1346,9 / 100) x (120 / 100)) = 222.173,85 damage
What i’m getting in game is wildly different from these numbers, roughly around 40-50k hits on blood wave casts.
Then let’s take blood surge, which at rank 8 has a combined damage modifier of 119, so nearly the same as blood wave. so the end result should practically be the same.
With blood surge however, i am getting number that are similar to what the calculations say.
Now let’s compare it to Hemorrhage, which has a modifier of 27 at rank 1.
6873 + 6873 x ((1346,9 / 100) x (27 / 100)) = 49.989,12 damage
these calculations are again accurate to what i am seeing in game.
With that i think the issue with blood wave lies in it’s base damage modifier scaling with overpower incorrectly. Seeing as the only difference between blood surge and hermorrhage is the base modifier, and that is accurately represented in game.
While Blood wave is not doing anywhere near the calculated amount.
TL/DR: Blood wave overpower is broken and doesn’t do the correct damage
Edit: i apologize for the messy post, not written anything similar before
