Skills for Rogues, Need Guidance

[semyneu]

Hello I need some guidance with this:

For the folowing skills when a user activates the SS the damage stays the same, where can I edit that ?
In the skills.xlm inside gameserver\data\stats\skills ?
In the java?

Mortal Blow
Deadly blow
Backstab
Letahl Shot
Critical Blow

I have tried the folowing:


<skill id="16" levels="24" name="Mortal Blow">
<table name="#mpConsume">9 9 10 11 12 13 16 16 17 19 20 20 21 22 23 25 26 27 28 28 29 32 33 34</table>

-->
- <add order="0x10" stat="rCrit" val="45">
<using kind="Dagger" skill="0016" />
</add>
</for>
</skill>

To:

<skill id="16" levels="24" name="Mortal Blow">
<table name="#mpConsume">9 9 10 11 12 13 16 16 17 19 20 20 21 22 23 25 26 27 28 28 29 32 33 34</table>

- <add order="0x10" stat="rCrit" val="45">
<using kind="Dagger" skill="0016" />
</add>
</for>
</skill>

The skill works fine and dandy like this but with Swords

I changed the <using kind="Dagger" skill="0016" /> to <using kind="Sword" skill="0016" /> after.

Conclusion: L2j did something to the daggers Question is what ?

[Fulminus]

dagger vs heavy armor: nerfed
dagger vs light armor: not as badly nerfed, but still reduced damage
dagger vs robe: pretty decent damage
dagger vs no armor: I haven't seen any changes, so probably works same as any weapon type.

Also, max damage from daggers should be capped (as per retail C5).

So what you are saying is that SoulShots shoudn't affect the damage done on other players or mobs like all the other skills ?
That does not sound so right... Please tell me where the conditions for this are at so I cand take a look at them and see for my self what to tell the users...

[slyce]

SS should affect Blows but for most of the Blow-type skills it isn't worth the adena (~10% extra damage, depending on weapon)...
only Backstab gets a decent powerboost when using SS on retail.

iirc steuf is rewriting the code for Dagger skills - search server forums for this. It may not be finished, but if you need a fast solution you could use it for now if you are able to apply a patch to the server core.

Yes, thanks, i was just looking at the posts:

Steuf said:

- Damage is the same using or not Soulshots

Soulshot have no influance in blow skill... It have just a influance on primary attack, not on skill effect.

We will just have to wait, sorry I insisted so much on them...
