April 18, 201510 yr Ranger's marked prey definitely does not add +20 damage per hit on a consistent basis, unless the damage formula is very convoluted. It also seems to do more than 20% damage sometimes, sometimes not. Personally. +20% damage on one target for one use per fight, and for the cost of an ability pick when you level up, seems like a horrible choice. I hope that's not the intent of this skill!
April 18, 201510 yr What Marked Prey actually does in game - it adds 40% lash (multiplicative weapon damage) vs 0.25 of the appropriate target's DR .. ( Nothing resembling skill description).. Will add way less than "promised" at low level but can add more than 20 damage per swing/shot come endgame .. Edited April 18, 201510 yr by peddroelm
April 19, 201510 yr How do you know this? basic arithmetics from combat log .. here's an example I have handy from another thread (another "bug" this 40% bonus does not benefit from DR bypass on weapon) Market target Estoc (5 DR bypass) vs 18 Pierce DR Market target GameLog 23.2 - (18-5)= 10.2 + 4.8 23.2 * 0.4 - 18 * 0.25= 4.78 Had the DR bypass effect of the Estoc affected the lash damage the bonus damage should've been 23.2*0.4- (18-5)*0.25 = 6.03
