Thread: *Tested* T21 Rifle Armor Rating 0?!!?
A mob with huge resists have tiony floaty numbers. Thats the true dmg.

Wrong. The true damage taken is a third, completely different number. Go shoot a creature and look at the number that floats up. Then look at his HAM bar, the amount that barwent down is the ACTUAL DAMAGE TAKEN. The floaty probably doesn't count resists or something, because it is usually (always?)an optimistic number for me.
Actualy damage is what floats above the head. Combat is what the damage you did was, and the above the head is after bonuses/resists.
AldeonAvarfulin and OpethRebel, you guys are both somehow right but not completely...
The combat window damage is the raw damage on your special or auto attack.
Then this number is adjusted for AR rating and % resist and then displayed over the head of the monster of PC taking the hit.
Then, that damage is slighlty spread over the 3 HAMs EVEN when it's supposed to be a pure health or mind shot.
So for example, you can fire a Headshot2 with adlt20 on an opponent with energy resist at 30%. The combat window can for example report 620 damage done by Headshot2, the overhead number will report 434 (0.7x620) but the REAL damage done on the pools will be more around 35 health, 35 action and 364 mind damage, all adding up to the 434 displayed overhead. I have done precise testing with a cooperating friend in duel and we have experienced that spread first hand. I didn't come up with a % spread formula but on a shot of about 600 mind damage overhead, it did 500 to mind and 50 to action and 50 to heath.

I have to agree with Flyo here...I've looked at the number above the mobs head and the number in the HAM (specifically the Mind bar) and the amount of damage I do differs between the two. My rifle is 5.1 speed, so it'shard for my brain to do three subtracts and an add before I fire again to check to see if all three damages add up to the number above the mobs head. Anyone have a slower rifle and a faster brain can probably check it fairly easily.
