How to nerf Acid Bomb/Demonstration?

[Helena 0]

Hello.

 

A member of this forums helped me figure out a way to make magic stronger, but unfortunately it also affected the damage caused with Acid Demonstration... now that skill is way too imbalanced.

 

I know this is the block, but how can I make it weaker? I've messed with numbers but without any luck. Help would be nice. ^^;

 

 

#ifdef RENEWAL		{// [malufett]			int matk=0, atk;			short tdef = iStatus->get_total_def(target);			short tmdef =  iStatus->get_total_mdef(target);			int targetVit = min(120, status_get_vit(target));			short totaldef = (tmdef + tdef - ((uint64)(tmdef + tdef) >> 32)) >> 1;			 matk = battle->calc_magic_attack(src, target, skill_id, skill_lv, mflag).damage;			atk = battle->calc_base_damage(src, target, skill_id, skill_lv, nk, false, s_ele, ELE_NEUTRAL, EQI_HAND_R, (sc && sc->data[SC_MAXIMIZEPOWER]?1:0)|(sc && sc->data[SC_WEAPONPERFECT]?8:0), md.flag);			md.damage = matk + atk;			if( src->type == BL_MOB ){				totaldef = (tdef + tmdef) >> 1;				md.damage = 7 * targetVit * skill_lv * (atk + matk) / 100;				/*				// Pending [malufett]				if( unknown condition )					md.damage >>= 1;				if( unknown condition ){					md.damage = 7 * md.damage % 20;					md.damage = 7 * md.damage / 20;

md.damage = (int)(7*tstatus->vit*sstatus->int_*sstatus->int_ / (10*(tstatus->vit+sstatus->int_)));

Haven't tested it. so I am not sure

Thanks for the reply. With what line do I replace that?

 

this one?

 

				md.damage = 7 * targetVit * skill_lv * (atk + matk) / 100;

[quesoph 105]

this is the whole block.

try to change this line:

 

 

md.damage = (int)(7*tstatus->vit*sstatus->int_*sstatus->int_ / (10*(tstatus->vit+sstatus->int_)));

I've done that, but there was absolutely no difference.

[quesoph 105]

anyway are you using renewal ?

 

@edit

 

try this

 

md.damage = (int)(7*tstatus->vit*sstatus->int_*sstatus->int_ / (10*(tstatus->vit+sstatus->int_))) / 2;

Yes, I'm using renewal. I tried your code and recompiled but unfortunately no change yet... any other ideas?

[malufett 247]

as you said you make matk stronger then edit the matk part of the skills

matk = battle->calc_magic_attack(src, target, skill_id, skill_lv, mflag).damage;

to something like:

(reduce by 50%)

matk = battle->calc_magic_attack(src, target, skill_id, skill_lv, mflag).damage / 2;

(reduce by 75%)

matk = battle->calc_magic_attack(src, target, skill_id, skill_lv, mflag).damage * 75 / 100;

or something else..but take note the high int and vit you have and the low vit and int a target has, the more damage it can deal..

Thank you I'll try that and let you know the result!
