[FIXED] [Death Knight][Frost] Frostscythe's damage

[Reyz]

Info= Frostscythe (wowhead link) should deal 4 times more damage with critical strike but in here its 5 times more

If its normal damage is 31,920 as video bellow then its critical damage should be around 31,920 * 4 = 127,680 but instead it's 158,191 (4 times damage + its current damage = 5 times)

Also why do i have the feeling that target range does affect spell's damage (Closer targets receive more damage than those that are far)

It's because of https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=189144&&name=nothing-but-the-boots...

I'll tell you how it works... Frostscythe has +200% crit damage (next to the base 200% crit that every spell has). so when calculations are made, it's like this:
We take the spell's base damage (100%), we add 200%, making it 100 + 100 * 200 / 100 = 300% (this is crit bonus, will get added to original - that is 100%, so far we are at 400%, that is how should it be)

BUT, when we calculate that 300%, it's not the final, we add the 36% from Nothing but the Boots, making it 407% + the basic 100%, resulting in a total of 507% (thus 5x crit).

As of now I have no clue why does Nothing but the Boots say (in tooltip) 18% but give 36%. Will check this.

Regarding range, no something else is at play there... difference seems a lot because of the 5x multiplier (damage is a bit random so let's say damage should be 15k, but on first target is 16k, on second is 14k. multiplying this by 5 you end up with 80k on one and 70k on the other. the more damage you deal, the higher is the difference due to the 5x multiplier)

More info on this:
"Nothing but the Boots is a 10% **ignore the actual value, was from beta** multiplicative increase to the critical strike bonus damage. So you deal 2.1x crits. If you have 2.5x crits for some reason, this would bump you to 2.65x."

But if you have 4x, an 18% increase would mean 4.54x crit

(btw, I just hit the closer target for 149k and the further one for 175k... it's completely random, there is a small deviation of the damage on each target, 5x multiplier makes it look big)

I didn't notice Nothing but the Boots (wowhead link) very good to mention

I simply don't know about mechanics of the game as devs do like now that i learned how crit system works (Thanks to your detailed explanation)

But the thing that bothers is actually the tooltip of the spell, You see it says its critical is equal to x4 times of its normal damage which i was assuming it to be [ (normal damage * 4) * Nothing but the Boots (wowhead link)]

The tooltip is so confusing for me so the only question that remains is that:

Does its caculation have to go through normal crit system ? If yes then nothing remains for saying and it seems to be fixed already.

btw Nothing but the Boots (wowhead link)'s damage is actually 18% as i checked in wowhead and of course its Artifact Weapon Calculator which seems fixed on freakz as well

[Quicksand]

Crit bonus is calculated correctly, don't worry, the only bug is that Nothing but the Boots grants 36% instead of 18%.... (I know that the tooltip says 18%, but if you could check the actual value - which gms and devs can - you'd see that it's actually 36%)

Will fix it soon and everything will be all right
