Talk:Bursting Arrow

damage
I tested this on PC v1.03, with an Hawke archer with 81 damage (76dps), burst arrow does 92 damage, which is a lot more than the 0.72 * 81 = 58.3 damage this page said it would do. I checked my result with assassinate, which would do 367 damage (note that the numbers which are displayed on the screen are rounded, but the game counts with more digits). Checking the value of assassinate, I got 4.5 * 81 = 364.5, the variation in this result implies that my actual base damage would be higher than 81, but it was rounded down on the screen.

If we would calculate the damage multiplier from Bursting Arrow from this data, we would find it to be around 1.1, which is about 50% higher than the value on the page.

Looking on Patches (Dragon Age II), I found this sentence under the patch 1.03 section:The Burst Shot talent now inflicts approximately 50% more damage (and 3x physical force instead of 2x). (The person who wrote it obviously confused the name of this talent with the similar Awakening talent). I checked the history and the damage value hasn't been changed since patch 1.03.

For this reason, I'll change the damage multiplier value from 0.72 to 1.1--Schrödingercat (talk) 21:50, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
