Apoplyon, the Soul-Render BUGGED

[domenico]

hello,
look at the following screens.





Apoplyon, I think, it's bugged: the damage must be higher in Apoplyon, because of it has the same damage of brutal and +26 AP (100-126). I suppose that there are two possibilities:
1) it's bugged Apoplyon;
2) it's bugged the character window.
tell me, please, if I'm wrongs.
Thanks.

Sorry for the images, but I think they are good enought to see the problem. I mean, Apoplyon MUST do more damage than Brutal, I think...
This error; I think, comes from the haste attribute...or not?
Greetings,

From what I know, Apolyon has 3.40 speed and S4 2H weapons have 3.60.
Therefore S4 > Apolyon.

but haste doesn't change the maximum and minimum damage...only the DPS, if I am right.
so Apoplyon must do more damage than S4...or no?
thanks.

I mean, Apoplyon has 607 max dmg, and S4 2Haxe 606...the first has 3.4 and the second 3.6 speed...but...speed is speed...the dmg is another thing...so why Apoplyon does less max dmg than S4 2Haxe?

It's the speed, trust me.

Ok...i have read a lot now...base attack is not "normalized", i find. only istant attack (and not all) are normalized (after patch 1.8).

It's the speed, trust me.

Apolyon: 1.05*(607+610*3.4/14)=~793
S4: 1.05*(606+584*3.6/14)=~794
I hope this math is clear :P

Normalization does nothing to displayed auto attack damage. Damage of an ability doing X% weapon damage can be normalized or not. I can explain this further if you want.

DPS on weapons is found by an equation that calculates weapon damage and weapon speed. s4 is slower than SWP sword, and probably has more crit. while the other one hits for less, just swings faster. Another thing to consider, is the amount of AP strength brings for warriors. Due to this, you will notice a very slight improvement over the two swords (Gems playing most of the role in that slight improvement)
