Check weapon attack values in tos-ktest.neet.tv
Weapon attack gets doubled and sometimes more than doubled. Thats why the scaling is being lowered. Lets use Aufgowle Bow as an example
Aufgowle Bow https://tos.neet.tv/items/163120
Attack 520 - 781
Aufgowle Bow https://tos-ktest.neet.tv/items/163120
Attack 637 - 1911
now compute again for your barrage. lets use lv5 barrage since you really like Ranger C1. For this computation, let us use the max attack of the Aufgowle bow as basis
Current Barrage w/ Current Weapon attack values
(781 + 250)*5 = 5,155
Current kTest Barrage w/ Current kTest weapon attack values
(1911 * 0.84)*5 = 8,026.2
can you tell me if thats a nerf to what we have right now? If you factor in trans 10, thats where we can say that the current is stronger than on ktest servers but we still havent factored in the ktest server refinement which is stronger than the current one by leaps and bounds. There is even a bonus on every 5 increments on refinement and the increase in damage gets boosted by the rarity of the weapon as well.
with these given, even if the % factor is pretty low, we can see that its still stronger than what we currently have. It may look sad right now but its still stronger. I agree with you that it would be nice if they increase the % factor more but lets wait and see for the changes in ktest
