Sotty Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) This might be a really stupid question, but I wanted to do test my AP roation on the operation dummy and noticed something strange. With my current gear the rocket punch tooltip says that it should do 3477-3546 kintetic damage, but my non-crits only do around 2400-2500 damage to the operation dummy. Do operation bosses or dummies absorb some of the kinetic damage? Edited November 8, 2013 by Sotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGNMTTRN Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yep. Since AP has no special armor penetration, you're just wanna see the 0/0/0 to 20/0/0 tooltip scalar. That means you'll have to multiply your spread by 0.65 against a dummy, or 0.7 in an operations setting. You'll see a 1.075 increase in DPS if you move from a dummy to an operations boss with armor penetration and conditions otherwise identical. The tooltip spread for you is 3477-3546 but we have to apply 0.65 damage reduction from armor and a 3% boost from attacking a Gutted target, so you get (3477+3546)*0.65*1.03/2 = 2350 average damage.
