paladin skill dii-LOD

I have a question about the charge skill...
So i have a char that i pvp with...
he has a grief pb, andys mask, fortitude, lavagout, razortail, sand treks, highlords, ravenfrost and a rare ring.

So basically my char is like lvl 85 with maxed charge and its synergies, so the charge skill says it adds 1195% dmg, however my chars listed dmg is barely over a 1k. this makes no sense to me...

the grief dmg modifier is i think +379 to dmg, and the pb does like 50 base or something. so this should be a little over 400. fortitude adds a 200% dmg, so that should put it at ~800 dmg. when the sword becomes enchanted, it should add fire dmg, it only adds about 14 dmg. and when venom becomes active, the same thing occurs. and then when i use charge i should get a 1195% dmg bonus. which i thought would give me about 8k dmg.

like i said before, this is not the case, i only do about 1.2k dmg. so what im wondering is how the dmg is calculated for the charge skill, is it added on the base dmg of the pb (does it not include the grief's bonus dmg), and where is the dmg modifier from charge and the fortitude going? and leastly, why the hell does enchant and venom add almost no dmg?

THANKS

I certainly don't know the ins and outs of it but when Grief is involved you can't trust the LCS (Lying character screen). How it uses the +damage modifier on Grief messes up the damage display for most skills.

as in what my 'c' screen is telling me is not actually accurate, but seriously in hell, most of the time i cant one hit kill monsters in act one, i should be slaughtering them, without even flinching...my smiter that uses lw pb can easy, and he does even less dmg. i did know that part of the awesomeness of grief was supposedly a 'hidden' dmg modifier, but it seems like mine is more or less broken or something...haha

Well if your PB does 50 base, and you have 200 ED (Fort) + 1200 ED (Charge) + say 200 ED (str), then you should see about 900 damage, which sounds about what you're seeing. The bonus from Grief, as you know, doesnt get displayed. If you actually think you're not getting it, thats another problem. Are you sure Grief works with Charge? I vaguely seem to remember something about a bug with Grief not working with certain skills....

The damage from Venom and Enchant at the low levels you're getting is negligible, you're not seeing that wrong. Elemental damage never gets modified by ED like physical damage. The point of Enchant from Lavagouts is for the AR bonus, not for bonus fire damage. Venom actually might hurt you since poison is only really useful for stopping regen, but Venom cuts its duration down to 0.4 seconds.

Re: paladin skill dii-LOD

ok so i guess like i thought the grief bonus dmg modifier doesnt get calculated into the fort ED and charge ED, which then would make sense why the dmg isnt like 12k...i guess that makes sense...and you may be right with the charge not working with grief, does anyone have some insight on that?
