50k Damage

I've heard of Heat Buster doing 50,000 Damage or so. I've even had a witness claiming a Doppelganger of Light and Darkness was killed by it in one hit.

How is this even possible?! It's unbelievable!

According to the equation for the damage calculations of Heat Buster...

50,000 = Base Damage * [1 + 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)]

Base damage at Rank 1 = 1175 (assuming max)

50,000 = 1175 * [1 + 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)]

50,000 / 1175 = 42.5531914893617

42.5531914893617 = 1 + 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)

41.5531914893617 = 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)

42.5531914893617 / 3 = 14.18439716312057

14.18439716312057 = (Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)

In order to do 50,000 damage with Heat Buster, it seems you need around 14 points of Alchemy Mastery and Fire Alchemy bonus.

This is all a guess. Do not expect me to be right. :l

I believe you disregarded the Critical Hit part.

Doesn't seem right for a non-crit Heat Buster to do 50k. That's too overpowered.

Oooh right.

According to the equation for the damage calculations of Heat Buster... Now with Critical Hit!

50,000 = 1.5 * Base Damage * [1 + 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)]

Base damage at Rank 1 = 1175 (assuming max)

50,000 = 1.5 * 1175 * [1 + 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)]

50,000 = 1762.5 * [1 + 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)]

50,000 / 1762.5 = 28.36879432624113

28.36879432624113 = 1 + 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)

27.36879432624113 = 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)

27.36879432624113 / 3 = 9.122931442080377

9.122931442080377 = (Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)

In order to do 50,000 damage with Heat Buster, it seems you need around 10 points of Alchemy Mastery and Fire Alchemy bonus.

This is all a guess. Do not expect me to be right. :l

Too lazy to edit previous text.

All of my alchemy skills are rank 1. And even i barely crit 10k with a synergy volcano on ice mobs.

Other Alchemy skills other than Alchemy Mastery and Fire Alchemy do not affect Heat Buster.

Yeah, these damage formulas are way off.

Alchemy bonus is .15 for AM and .1 for fire mastery.

Last i recall.

Now that you mention it... they are percentages, huh? Makes more sense now. :D

Taken from last line of previous posts

+ Enchant Bonus

9.122931442080377 = (Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus + Enchant Bonus)

9.122931442080377 = (1.00 + 0.15 + 0.1 + Enchant Bonus)

7.872931442080377 = Enchant Bonus

If this is correct, you need 8 points in Fire Damage bonuses from Enchants in order to do 50,000 damage with Heat Buster.
