Garrulous Glaahk Bushwhacker2k Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I read something somewhere that made me think that increasing accuracy beyond the obvious max (95%) increases damage too. I don't remember where I read this and so far I can't verify it. Can someone confirm/deny this for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 there was in old forums thread about stats but old forums are gone so you need to rely to others memory (not Alorael's since he has forgotten accuracy-damage formula). you could test it with char editor.

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Pretty sure that's not the case, but I can't back that up atm. Of course, some stats that increase accuracy will also increase damage. And some games have damage caps. Which game were you asking about specifically? A2?

More the first Avernum trilogy than anything else, but I actually want to know this for any game in which it'd come into question. If I think a stat maxes at 95% accuracy, I'd use skill points elsewhere. If I think I get bonus damage I'd spend them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Accuracy isn't a stat per se. Accuracy is influenced by a bunch of stats. Many of those stats also influence damage. Even after you increase those stats to the point that you hit the accuracy cap, they keep increasing damage. So yes, sort of, but it's not that increasing accuracy increases damage; it's that the same stats increase both. At least, that's how I understand it from the skill descriptions, which I haven't verified with real data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 And of course hit rate also depends on what you're trying to hit. You may be at 95% vs trash mobs but 30% vs bosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's helpful to know that the skills/stats actually do influence damage too. Hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
