Fleabeard Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I get that Surge enhances crit damage and power effects overall damage. But where are these stats? And "Damage (primary)" I know as this number increases my attacks get stronger but when am I doing the actual "primary" damage amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevon_Nefarious Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Ok....lemme take a quick crack at explaining it, bear in mind, im very tired, and ive been on the forums for about 8 hours today. Damage (Primary)/(Secondary) is what happens when you do anything with your weapons (Main Hand/2 Handed)/(Off-Hand) respectively Power increases this damage (if you hover over your damage you should see the power stat and how it calculates into your damage numbers showing) Surge increases the amount of damage crits deal.... ....crits normally deal 150% of normal damage...so say you have enough surge to bring your critical damage bonus from 50% (base) to 60% (base+surge), your crits would now deal 160% of your normal damage (which is your damage(primary)/(secondary)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not clear on primary damage. Here's and example: I just started a bounty hunter -level 11 right now- . Primary damage shows 686-1026, when i mouse over it shows 69-103 (this seems more accurate to what im doing) what is the 686-1026 number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decimal place is in the wrong place. The numbers in the tooltip are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarka Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Also notice the drop down menu where you can switch from ranged to tech. As a BH, most of your skills are tech and not ranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
