Question of Weapon damage

MaxwellC

So I use to rock 5 hundings 2 night mother 1 kena and all 3 agility with weapon damage enchants on it (yup I definitely do have horrible stamina regen that's why I mix in a lot of my earthen heart abilities in fights but also play conservatively)

On to the main issue here so my weapon damage was 4250 (buffed) something with two night mother on at a time. So example my maul was night mother and my hands were night mother those provide weapon critical and not damage; also my secondary weapon back-up is night mother but that is a bow and doesn't provide the weapon damage boost unless I use DW.

I switched to morkuldin getting the maul/bow/hands all morkuldin style for the extra stamina + I have other morkuldin armor in bank so I thought that'll work nicely but my weapon damage buffed is 4095.

So the question is where in the world did that 130+ weapon damage go? I'm literally confused.

sure you not accidently unequiped your kena piece?

When you checked your stats the first time did you any extra buffs? Something from pvp or a group mate/ nearby ally maybe?

There is a lot of suspicion out there that the numbers reflected in the character sheet or skill tool tips isn't always accurate so it might just be a bug. Sure fire way to test it is to find a mob and test attacks on it with both setups and see if the number vary, you'll need an add on though and it'll take a little time to do it correctly.

Another thing that gets in the way is the Character Sheet can sometimes have some lag in updating stats.

My guess is that with the Hundings and NMG weapons the game was incorrectly counting your bow on your back bar as part of the NMG and giving you the 129 weapon damage. This is just a UI error and actual damage testing with a combat log will show that you don't actually have that buff. This problem is typically encountered with Torug's but can also appear for a lot of other sets.

Nope this was current even when I went to IC and other areas it showed 4250+ with hunding/night mother/kena 5 + 2. Now its even less without night mother. I would upload screenshots but I decon'd the items since I thought I wouldnt use it again (aside from my hands). I'll make a bow and see if it shows it still give me a sec.

Actually here is a video of me having it with hunding/night mother http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Maxwell/video/13667331
This is it now.

Same abilities on your bars? Same quality/type of weapons equiped?

Yup everything the same it's just that a 2 piece night mother provides a hidden weapon damage boost while morkuldin doesn't I suppose.
If for some awesome reason 2 handed weapons counted as two instead of 1 that would make sense but unfortunately it doesn't because I would also have gotten morkuldins 3 set recovery.
