Do someone know which additional damage is added to glancing blow? As I can see on my vanguard using bastard sword, glancing blow is doing light damage from KOtC core and also the light damage from Mod gloves are applied.

I was just wondering, any other damage affecting glancing blow?

They do have a chance to proc other effect too, like the 2% on a Ruby eye of force as an example?

Glancing blows have always including the KotC damage that's currently in cores but used to be part of the prestige, back before the enhancement pass. I was unaware of any other damage procs in the game that worked with glancing blows.

Glancing blows default to 0% chance to proc weapon effects, but you can raise that with feats (the THF line, particularly PTHF), enhancements and destiny abilities.

EDIT: Here (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/424272-Glancing-blow-weapon-procs)'s an old thread of mine asking about glancing blow weapon procs.

Thanks for the reply, Ellis, but I'm not asking for the % of glancing blow procs, but which additional damage source is added to glancing blow. Maybe, I didnt explain it well enough, I still learn english :)

EDIT: Your English is quite good, btw.

Thanks :) Anyway I have read your post about the glancing blow procs, but I'm still quite confused how they work. Maybe a DEV answer could help :P

<snip>


Human paladin lvl 20, KOTC 41 enhancement points, SD 26 points, vanguard 13 points, bastard sword...

Against an evil target, my main attack and my glancing blow looks like this example...

30 points light damage

6 points good damage

4 points damage

40 points slash damage

(My actual light and slash damage is higher)

On a neutral target, like the guildship training dummy, I do not get the good or untyped damage.

I do not know where the good and untyped damange is coming from.

I used a variety of bastard swords, none of which had good, holy, righteous, or maiming. Also checked my equipped gear to confirm that is not the source.

I suspect the good damage is from the core enhancements, maybe something like 2d6 or 3d6.

I got no idea where the untyped damage, probably 2d6, is coming from.

hope this helps you

PS: couple of things you might like to know....

The two cleaves always produce a glancing blow.

Trip and sunder never produce a glancing blow.

A Shield bash (active or passive) never produces a glancing blow.

Cant remember for sure, but I think smite never produces a glancing blow.

Cant remember for sure, but I think a double-strike never produces a glancing blow.

PPS: you didn't ask about shield bash, but you might like to know...

Every shield bash, (active or passive) makes light damage as well as bludgeon damage.

Thanks, that's help. I will test a bit myself for more understanding.

All damage sources carry damage into glancing blows on you mainland, if you have abilities that increase it above 0%. The percentage is bow much damage is carried over to the glancing blow, not how often the source triggers. The prod percentage is for rare effects like lit 2.
