So what is up with the pale master necro bolts?

[350zguy]

The text... Deals 1d6 per caster level.

The expected outcome.

Level 20
5th level Magister

25 caster levels... 25D6 Expected outcome 87.5... 90% more pale master blah blah blah gear 198% extra damage.... Expect damage ~260 per bolt...

What do we hit for? 80...

I'm not even counting empower and maximize, since they don't work on it... Basically, in epic content, it's useless, hits far far far far far lower damage then it EVER should, even with a save for 1/2 I would expect 130s...

What gives?

spell power has half effectiveness on those

i thought i was the only one who noticed it..

25d6 = 87.5 avg
+ 200 spellpower (lets say u half it so 100) should still = 175 avg

perhaps spell power doesn't affect it at all and only affects necrotic ray

Did you test if magister caster levels actually apply? By switching out of the destiny and seeing if anything is different?

That must be it... because it I removed all my gear and the damage does change.

I'm doing EH right now, and it's still nice, but it isn't what it says it is.
