Regarding stalker KM/'s -DAM

What's the percentage of decrease to a mob's damage?

How long does the debuff last for? I never see the red diamonds floating downward to tell for myself.

Does it stack as you attack?

City of data isn't quite i18-compliant yet so I come to you, fellow Stalkers!

For starters, note that there is not -dam for Psi and Toxic damage in KM.

There is -5.625% damage to the affected damage types for the listed duration on each of the following:

  • Quick Strike, 4 sec
  • Body Blow, 5 sec
  • Smashing Blow, 5 sec
  • Focused Burst, 7 sec
  • Concentrated Strike, 8 sec

There's also -11.25% damage for 7 seconds on Burst.

Yes, they stack - but the durations keep them from stacking a great deal.

Because the effect is not adjusted correctly and the timers are short, it is much less effective than the -ToHit from DM. However, it doesn't completely suck, just don't expect to rely on it at all.

Yah I figure if it can't be slotted, it shouldn't be relied on. My KM/ stalker is getting up in levels and I'm working out an attack chain now that I'm past 22 and I'm just including the effects that come in as the hits happen.

thanks again guys.

I have noticed that the -damage effect makes my KM/WP stalker feel a lot tougher than others I have played.

I probably shouldn't ask this but... With all the goofy ways that Hami-Os break what can and can't be slotted for are we SURE that we can't modify the -dam portion?

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

-dam cannot be increased on anything

Oh, yah... I forgot about that aspect... -dam should be 1.5x the effective rate of -ToHit (as is the case between def and res) and on the same timer. It is 1x on shorter timers... and it is unslottable...

Unless they're coming out with a cool new set of -dam IOs with i19, in which case I may be very happy...
