Effect of Heavy Attack on Off Balance Target

BaalMelqartu

-People in game tell me heavy attacking an off balance target adds 50% damage. Other people tell me it only knocks them down.
-In searching on the web, I get several different answers.
Can anyone tell me exactly what the effect of heavy attacking an off balance target actually does?

70% increased damage, multiplicative

See "Bonus vs off balance": https://esoitem.uesp.net/viewSkillCoef.php



Examples:

6m dummy, 10k total penetration, Empower, 15k base damage heavy attack

Hit: 15000 * 1.8 * (1-((8200/660)/100)) = 23645
Crit (+50% dmg): 15000 * 1.8 * (1-((8200/660)/100)) * 1.5 = 35468
Hit, Off Balance: 15000 * 1.8 * 1.7 * (1-((8200/660)/100)) = 40197
Crit (+50% dmg), Off Balance: 15000 * 1.8 * 1.7 * (1-((8200/660)/100)) * 1.5 = 60295

Concordantly, I took a 12k tri focus to the face this morning in Battlegrounds. Made me laugh.

Thank you VERY much!

Much more important, does anyone know if a Heavy Attack consumes the Off Balance?

And how long is the cooldown for Off Balance? Is it still 15secs? I have had so many conflicting intel on that matter over the years.

Doesn't consume

Lasts 7s. Cooldown is 21s.

I am pretty sure NPC resistance is 500 per 1%, not 660 per 1%. The 660 is a player thing to account for VR16/CP160. At least it used to be that way but could potentially have been changed. Your principal still stands, even if NPCs get slightly more protection from 18200 armor than a player with 18200 armor.
