Okay, so we have 3 raiding dirges in the guild. We all obviously have myth and 4 set and ethernaught drum and crap, so it only needs 2 of us to keep CoB up.

Now it may sound really fussy and lame but the MT dirge's CoB has a high end of 312 damage, mine is 298, and the other dirge's is 270. Me + the MT dirge have it mastered, and I think the other dirge researched his immediately so that should be done by now.

I kick my CoB up just in time for there to be no gap between my CoB and the MT dirges CoB (he does his on pull), but I'm frequently finding the other dirge's CoB is coming up straight after mine, and I know it sounds a bit whiney, but it's not as optimised as it could be this way.

What actually effects the CoB damage other than spell quality?

Thanks in advance

i know of at least basedamage (should now be CA base damage since they changed it) that affects it, similar proc effects used to be affected by int, so int or str could also be important, but thats just a guess. same applies for BOE/CA-damage

It's a UI bug.

CoB uses your spell quality (Expert/Master/etc) and the recipient's STR and base CA damage for the damage modifiers.

Dead Calm works the same way for INT and base spell damage for the people in your group.

Hmm so mine should be the same for me as his?

I have 3 less base CA damage last time i checked due to his shoulders being T4 and mine are T3 atm... for now.

Will have to take a look at CoB tho when he casts it and then when I cast it, to see if the average hit from me is significantly higher and consistantly...

If they are about the same, I will settle for UI bug

Cheers guys!

Not really a UI bug as such. Problem is that when you mouse over your COB, it displays numbers using your CA mod and STR.... and your STR is according to an EQ2players search fairly low.
My guess is that your MT dirge has about 100-140 more STR than you.... and the other dirge has similar STR, but a lower quality of COB.

I checked, his CoB is master, so i assume his str is even lower.

Thanks
