Description on Lightning Storm error...

#1 Post by Delmuir »

Currently, the description describes the damage NOT as a range like the other lightning skills but it still provides an average. Even more strangely, the average is less (about half) of the listed damage.

On a side point, offering up an average damage is just visual clutter. Are we really of the position that someone can't figure out average between two numbers?

You never know, the average may well not be right in the middle of the range, if it is weighted towards lower or higher results. ;) Anyway darkgod, can you change the "Lightning Storm" description based on the UI standard for other skills?

Not sure what you want me to change.
Currently it says "for 1 to x.yy damage (average z.ww)" this is exactly like other lightning spells, except the base damage is marked as 1 and not 1.00 (because it's always 1, but I can change the display).

Maybe it's changed since I posted this but...

What the rest of the spells read as "damage is from 1-100 and average of 50," roughly speaking.

The Lightning Storm spell read as "damage from 100 and average of 50." It was missing the 2nd number so the concept of an average didn't make any sense.
