Thread: Outdamaged on krayts, Combat logs say otherwise
When im hunting groups with my small 3 man masterrifleman group were usually never outdamaged. We all use rifle speed tapes and spam strafeshot2. We get loot rights 90% of the time (accept on ancients)
Trust me when I say, 4 Master rifleman would completely blow away 1 master and 4 regulars. Rifleman just plain sucks unless you are a master. TKAs, carbineers, swordsman, and all the other professions are worthless in krayt hunting. If you want to win at krayting, you need Master rifleman who are using t21s and are caped on speed. CMs can also be very helpful but you only see the difference if your hunting Ancients and giants, and they need to be using good packs.
I know, Roc. We were all master Rifleman, and were all spamming Adv Strafe. Per my instructions they powered up (or should've) their weapons, as well. I suppose we need to all mind bleed then spam.
How long does the bleed from mindshot2 last? Also, I suppose I should pick up polearms 2 so I can use my NS lances to apply adisease and a poison.
A I M E S Scenario: Canyon Krayt Dragon: 350k H,A,and M
Let's say we do 300k dmg by focusing on the mind pool, and our opponents take the other 50k off. They're using Adv Strafe, though, so they also deplete a combined 300k (less than half from Health and action). They win.
There are 1050k hit points, and every one of them counts for loot permissions. When speed delay is irrelevant, the 5x damage modifier from Adv Strafe is simply better than the 3x modifier from headShot3.
you made a severe understatement when you pointed out that the combat log does not take into account armor, resists and weapon armor piercing.
krayts have heavy armor and huge resists. i'm assuming (being master rifle) that you're using a T21, but if you were using a high damage laser to hit the speed cap (and because it's average damage, minus ap, is greater than your T21), you're at a 50% disadvantage on damage immediately. in fact, the guys using light armor piercing and below might as well be throwing rocks at it.
the person/group to get the DB hit on the critter gets looting rights tis a loot bug. for example a group of 30 MRM are pounding a ancient krayt and a dancer wanders up and punches it for 1 point of damage but that punch was the punch that killed the krayt. she gets looting rights. sucks but it seems pier1 wook armour and useless lithium(however its spelled) rifles are more important than bug fixing.
Omg... Can anyone confirm this?
