Combat Damage Revamp for 4.0

[Ralts]

I really hope they somewhat change the damage system in 4.0 to "deal damage for every swings", it's kinda awkward when, for example, a monk punches the enemy for like 4 times and only 1xdamage appear. It should be 4 punches or 4 sword swings = 4x(damage number). Just like in every modern MMOs.

they'd result in the same damage then... also it'd need work to actually do something that really isn't needed + have to consider cirts and all.

Meh, I'm happy with the way it is right now.

If you Rage of Halone and swing six times, eight times, whatever number of times it is, they will simply cut the registered damage per swing down by that amount. So if it is six swings, instead of one total 450 damage hit, you will instead see six numbers each around 75. That makes for a lot more visual clutter.

I'm happy with the lack of that particular visual clutter. Its like spell and particle effects; its nice to have them, but too much merely hides what is going on onscreen.

Wouldn't the next consequent step then be to remove the on-hit damage number entirely and just show DPS or accumulated damage for the instance or something?

Then it is basically a parser and we know how some people here react on that...

Sounds perfect to me. I would LOVE to see an in-game parser finally.

It's Ninja exclusive privilege.

This in part at least is why parry is broken.

If a 6 hit skill skill hits a tank he'd effectively have 6 chances to parry it and mitigate a chunk of the damage. But because everything is done as a single attack it cripples it a lot

Assuming you are talking about tank busters, the majority of them are only single hits and the ones that do have multiple hits have the damage split into the multiple hits for damage and I can't think of a single case where this doesn't apply.
