April 1, 201016 yr How do you calculate your max hit with spells? I'm confused by this because everytime I try to calculate the max hit of Ice Barrage for example I always seem to be wrong. When extremes were released, you could hit 47s with Ice Barrage (40% from the extreme magic potion + 10% from a damage boosting staff). But how is this possible? 50% from 30 is 15, so shouldn't the max hit of Ice Barrage be 45 back then? Also, I hear stories that fire surge has a base damage of 283 instead of 280. So if I wear a staff of light, my max should be 325 (283*1.15), yet in my weeks of doing Barrows with fire surge I've never hit above 322. Help?

Help?it works differently nowmax hit is boosted by 3x magic lvl bonusmax magic bonus is 7 so the max bonus with potions/wolpertinger is +21%, not +40% 322/1.15 = 280whoever told you that the real max hit of fire surge is 283 is probably a troll :D

Never heard of reports of 47 damage with barrage. I personally would not believe something unless I observed it myself.I'm tempted to disbelieve such a person. But perhaps you just did not get lucky and roll your true max hit. The odds of your full max hit occuring are much lower now anyways. sooorry
April 1, 201016 yr I used this formula on for my guide. They are estimates, since I used the max hits as listed on the KB.Max unboosted hit + (0.15*Max) + (0.21* Max) For Miasmics, i swapped the .15 to .10, since the .15 is from Staff of light. So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
