Lunge and Magic Atk. Bonus

[Horadrim]

Apologies, misremembered the # of 9's. Either way BG-Wiki (kind of the de facto english #'s site for theorycrafting) had it listed as +900 MAB with testing done through forums to validate the claim.

Now since the bonus isn't explicitly confirmed by dev's I can say it is fact, but there is every indication at least ATM that you are getting MAB out of Brew... take it how you will.

I wonder if that takes into account that you get half of your INT as MAB? Isn't the equation 2 INT = 1 MAB?

Somebody with a better understanding of the calculations for various weapons skills would have to do the number crunching on that one for you. From what I understand of reading up on it though the damage values we see on elemental weapon skills aren't accounted for just from the dInt and secondary stat modifier calculations alone hence why people hypothesized that there was a build in form of MAB in brew as well.

Ultimatley though this goes back to lunge and and brew's effect on it and from Hideka's post it appears that Lunge is not getting as large of a boost from brew as elemental weapon skills do. This seems to suggest a number of possible scenarios, either a MAB hardcap on Lunge, or incorrectly hypothesized MAB values on brew itself, or the fact that the elemental WS's have those secondary factors such as dStat values and secondary stat modifiers that lunge seems to lack.
