I just took the Frenzy of the Slayer +3 damage aug on my archer and wanted to test the results, findings below - net is that I'm happy with the aug and it makes me want to switch my trinket around to a +2 or +3 damage one to push +damage as far as I possibly can.


The test:

Sumi ibn Fadlan - L241 archer

Coord: 358 buffed (290 base)

Bow Skill: 480 (381 base)

Bow

Damage bonus: 22 (BD7)

Elemental (frost) Damage Bonus: 16

Damage Mod: 151%

CB imbue

Arrows: GY Frost (28-40 damage spectral chill)


Items tested on/off:

Augmented Damage 1 trinket

Blue L3 Destruction Aetheria @ max level (3/3)

Yellow L3 Destruction Aetheria @ max level (3/3)


10k health target drudges in the society stronghold were used as test subjects. Higher health target drudges would be nice for the tests with an imp/vuln'd target...


No imp/vuln on target

+0: 635 crit

+1: 641 crit

+3: 654 crit (this was pre-aug)

+3: 654 crit (this was post-aug with all my +damage items off - same as +0 setup above)

+4: 660 crit

+6: 673 crit

+7: 679 crit

+10: 698 crit (post-aug with all items on)


Imp7 only on target:

+0: Unfortunately didn't test this pre-aug and impossible to test now that I did the aug

+3: 1274 crit (aug only)

+4: 1286 crit (aug + trinket)

+6: 1311 crit (aug + L3 aetheria)

+7: 1323 crit (aug + L3 aetheria + trinket)

+9: 1348 crit (aug + two L3 aetheria)

+10: 1360 crit (aug + two L3 aetheria + trinket)


Frost Vuln8 on target:

+0: Unfortunately didn't test this pre-aug and impossible to test now that I did the aug

+3: 2027 crit (aug only)

+4: 2046 crit (aug + trinket)

+6: 2086 crit (aug + L3 aetheria)

+7: 2105 crit (aug + L3 aetheria + trinket)

+9: 2145 crit (aug + two L3 aetheria)

+10: 2164 crit (aug + two L3 aetheria + trinket)


Imp7/Frost Vuln8 on target

+0: Unfortunately didn't test this pre-aug and impossible to test now that I did the aug

+3: 3949 crit (aug only)

+4: 3987 crit (aug + trinket)

+6: 4064 crit (aug + L3 aetheria)

+7: 4101 crit (aug + L3 aetheria + trinket)

+9: 4179 crit (aug + two L3 aetheria)

+10: 4216 crit (aug + two L3 aetheria + trinket)


It looks like with this element on this target, +1 damage on no imp/vuln = ~6 points of damage. Add imp/vuln and +1 damage = ~38 points. Vuln seems to scale around 19 points per +1 damage, Imp seems to be about 12 per +1.


I may try a lower Blood Drinker on the same bow with all else the same just to see if +1 damage bonus on say Bd5 is the same as +1 damage bonus on the aug. Have to wait for spells to expire on the bow now to do that...

Good info, tag.

Interesting, thanks, so i need to rework my aetheria, is this really archer only? Shouldn't this same principle hold true for Melee's? and maybe even Mages?
