Not sure exactly what order the str bonuses/claw mastery/etc. is added, but in the mpq's it says claws are based on strength, so:

(Base Damage)*(Str+100/100)

IE: 10-20 damage and 100 strength
10-20*100+100/100
10-20*200/100
10-20*2
20-40

PS- Did anyone know that all daggers are based on 50% dex, 50% str? And, war hammer, maul, great maul and their exce/elites get an extra bonus to damage through strength. (It said 100% str bonus for almost all melee, 100% dex bonus for all bows, and 110% str bonus for mauls/war hammer)

   Using this formula from your other post:

Assassin Weapons - Str*1.0 + Dex*0.5 (100/50)

Including the claw mastery bonus, I end up with lower damage that what is listed on the original poster's post. This formula gives results which are closer to the expected damage:

Str*1.0 + Dex*.75

Possible reasons:
1. Faulty data
2. Faulty formula
3. Miscalculation (claw mastery might be applied differently than expected)
4. Formula changed by new patch.
5. Damage display is wrong. (Very possible given people's experience with D2)

It would be best if the data didn't include claw mastery (makes calculations simpler). Can you test this out Elric?

   The damage formula from the MPQ actually says that claws use 50% dex and 50% str, not 100% str. It is:

Base damage * (1 + dex/200 + str/200)

Regular damage calculations follow after this, for the mastery and enchanced damage on weapons, etc.

And even if you don't believe me about the MPQ, the guy who programmed the items in D2X said it was a 50/50 split anyway.

   is the 'base' in Base damage * (1 + dex/200 + str/200)the base of the type of weapon (for scissors suyyawa (whatever) 59), or weapon dmg, in this case 131. than if claw mastery is +127% do you multiply the answer by (total percent/100)+1? in this case 2.27? and then where is tiger strike added, at the sametime as claw mastery right?

plz help me

   Yes, the 'base' in 'base damage' is the damage that a regular, non-magic item of that class does. So for scissors whatever, 59.

The other bonuses such as skills and 'enhanced damage' modifiers are added together with the str and dex bonus, as "+ bonus/100". So with the example of claw mastery, it would be:

base damage * (1 + dex/200 + str/200 + 127/100).

In response to message #7
 
   ok, but...when i do that with the info i got from a beta tester

normal attack dmg: 2xx-704 (check 1st post)
+127% dmg from claw mastery
131 dmg scissors ... = 59 base dmg with +222% enhanced dmg
179 dex
179 str

so i plugged that in-

(59)*(1+179/200+179/200+127/100+222/100)
(59)*(1+1.79+1.27+2.22)
59*(6.28)
=370.5


but the normal dmg listed is 704, so something is wrong. i doubt there is a display error of almost a factor of 2. so please clarify what i did wrong, or what is missing.


thnx a lot for ur help so far though

   Weapons dmg has been readically changed for some weapons classes in D2X. Dmg for javelins, daggers, and assasin claws are based upon both dex and str, with 50/50 each.

As for the formula, go back and check your variables, or work your way backwards from the known dmg (which might not be displayed right in the char screen {much like CD2}).

   He didn't work the formula wrong. As someone else said in this thread, values (str/dex) of 100/75 come much closer to the numbers listed.

And the mpq has dmg for claws at 100/50, not 50/50.
