| Summary | 0004579: Spell damage not reduced against high level opponents | ||||
| Description | Started a new character, jumped straight into a level 10 region to see how harsh the level scaling was in practice, and found I could one-shot everything. I'm using Ball Lightning with 968 Magic Attack and dealing my full 6,008 damage to the mobs. | ||||

Spell damage is not increased against lower level opponents either. Just entered a level 1 region with my level 61 character, and mobs were taking 5 shots with a low level spell. Spell used was Ball Lightning 3 with 968 Magic Attack. Was doing my listed 969 damage each hit. |

Very strange, in this particular scenario I noticed my Launch Rock 1 spell at level 5 is insta-killing level 15 skelebots. Meanwhile, with the same spell, at level 5, I need two of these spells to kill a level 1 skelebot. It almost seems like damage against higher level mobs gets increased, when it should be decreased, and damage against lower level mobs gets decreased, when it should be increased. |

Aha. Investigating PaxTechnomancer's issue shows that monster HP are scaling in the wrong direction. A Skelebot 9 levels above me had 972 HP. While an equal level Skelebot had 2,976 HP. I'll make another issue for that as well, since I'm awake. |

Thanks! * In the prior version, monster health scaling was backwards by relative level. So monsters that were higher-level than you had a lot less health than those lower-tier than you. ** Too much testing of the same-tier values on my part -- whoops! |
