Mystic questions...

Post by LordNikkon »

Mystic information is oddly vacant from MMUD Explorer, unless I deleted a subfolder by accident somewhere along the way which is entirely possible.

My questions are;
Does + damage increase the damage of ju, ki, and pu?
I wonder because of the stats of so many mystic items, the severed head of Enigma Lord, for example, lists:
PunchDmg +6, Magical +1, PunchAcc +5, KickAcc +5, JumpKAcc +5, KickDmg +5, JumpKDmg +4
So when I see something like the Black Stained Tunic list MaxDamage +7 it makes me wonder if that would effect JumpKDMG.

Also, is there a mystic addon for MMEx where I could play with different powers and see what I could recast on the regular like I do can with every other caster in the game?

Thanks as always for any assistance the community can provide.

Quick answer, yes it does effect your punches and jumpkicks.

Here's a longer answer (you can find this info digging around other threads here). it's even better than you think: +maxdam items do *double* bonus for mystics!

A +5 maxdam item like an Irikani head actually gives you +10 max damage for your mystic attacks (punch, kick, jumpkick). This gets further mutliplied for crits, which hit for 2x to 4x your overall maximum damage. So +5 maxdam item = +20 to +40 damage increase per critical hit! This is also true for spells like smite and frenzy (mages are mystics best friends).

Items that increase punch, kick and jumpkick damage increase both max & min damage by weird amounts. +1 jumpkick damage is actually +1.67 min and max damage.

Long story short: mystic damage can be buffed ridiculously by +maxdam gear. I've got a mystic in a completely stock realm critting for over 400 damage :)
