tooltip dmg 4500-5200 (weapon)

75% surge

 

assuming i get the lowest, assuming 25% damage reduction, should be:

 

4500*1.75=7875

 

25% of that of that is 1986

 

7875-1986=5889

 

5,8k, assuming MINIMUM damage.

 

So can someone explain how come i can only get 5k medal on unbubbled sorc in pve gear?

 

Oh, and I have 1158 exp too

 

Did you forget that damage also checks ARMOR RATING too?

The 25% reduction is from armor rating

 

However, i just tried this on my lowbie sent, and Attacks that strike with both weapons do indeed show up as 2 seperate attacks in the combat logs. so i guess thats it

I don't know about the tool-tip but you can calculate the exact damage with the info from sithwarrior.com.

 

Assuming:

1. Top end damage of your main-hand and off-hand is 486.

2. Your bonus melee damage is 590.

3. You have the talent to increase off-hand damage by 36%.

4. You have 5 stacks of Juyo.

5. Your opponent has 20% DR.

6. You have 1158 exp and your opponent is in recruit gear.

7. You crit.

 

Merciless slash:

AmountModifierPercent = 0.9

StandardHealthPercent = 0.285

Coefficient = 2.85

 

The damage range for a merciless slash crit is (5788 to 6633) before DR and exp. After DR and exp this comes to (4786 to 5485). Maybe the tool-tip is factoring in an average damage for your weapons and crit %? A rough average calc with 40% crit gives an average damage of 4609, which is sort of ballpark to your tool-tip.
