F death gives -30 % from front / 60% skill land rate (its 60% of ur 50% skill land rate for example)
and 90% dmg from back

also focus death affect only the base blow dmg it doest affect the % from dance fire and DW for example, ,thats why the retards wich playing server with full buffs think it gives 30-40% crit dmg

if it gives 30% everybody will play TH dont u think??

PS: need to be REALY GOOD dagger to use f death/power vs TH especialy

i see i just ruined your vision of daggers dude. maybe after this shocking information you will ask someone who play on decent server if it is true and then you will wake up from this dream. actually skill description is valid for focus power and focus death but it only applies to NORMAL hits. there is nothing said about skills dmg bonus.

Focus Power - For 2 minutes, decreases frontal critical attack damage by 30%. Increases side critical attack damage by 30% and rear critical attack damage by 60%. Requires a dagger.

Focus Death - For 2 minutes, decreases user's Critical Rate by 30% and frontal Critical Damage by 30%. Increases the probability of deadly attack by 60% and rear Critical Damage by 90%. Requires a dagger.

tests were made only for focus death but focus power bonuses are 100% different too. so still FD>FP

have you considered that ncsoft sux hard and the skills is bugged on retail since forever and they like to keep it like this ? this is the only normal thing to say , description is clear from c5 till now and blows are critical dmg you can test it with deathwishper + fire and you will see a full 70% crit dmg bonus on blows , yes what you are saying is true but it aint supossed to be that way is just a lol bug from retail itself

its critical dmg bonus lol there is no diference in skill crit and normal crit , its like qa/baium to give 15% for hits and 7% for skills lol
i played asterios/RPG club and other servers close to retail .

focus death /focus power insreance only the blows power by 90%/60% in back and dont affect DW/d fire /cov..etc test it on some decent server and post screen then flame

i have 2-3 years exp at daggers so dont talk sh!ts

and +1 for hdtv

BUGGED ON RETAIL! Ahahaha . NcSoft learn from privates . U know l2tns 's developer is actually a tester from korea who went to TnS to test things

Can you please leave the topic? It's the millionth time you're trying to be a smartass and you're wrong. If it was like that in c5 everyone would have played th, wouldn't they?

No, it applies to the base critical damage dealt through the skill. With all the recent bonuses (fucking 1k critical power on a SA and such), you won't see a 90% dmg shift since it doesn't add that value up before calculating.

Even back in c4, it wasn't a complete 90% shift on a gh. It was more like a 60-70% due to critical power passive, vicious stance and critical damage SA. His research is correct, but his conclusions are wrong.

don't think that anyone else here knows moar than hbsr he's in da action while we are spamming on random topics with expiring knowledge about teh game

test made 1 min ago on ruoff. double aq and bs+29 duel

that means the whole dagger formulas on servers we play are wrong

They're not wrong, it's just that ncsoft found a way to fuck up the description. Like always.
That's why the difference between the th and aw in dmg isn't what it used to be.

I remember back in interlude 2k back on glad with aw was 1.4 with th.

now its the same everywhere..

Ye well, ncsoft has grown a habit of fucking up the fundamentals of the game so.. I'm not entirely surprised.

or it was like that for a long time? Since i always wondered how daggers on retail give such large damages infront
