Re: General Grievous Ability Damage Reduced by Offense Down

Well I think they would need to explain the order of operations then.

My best guess is that they are somehow converting grievous health into physical damage for the calculation.

So they would need to clarify everything. Is it:

1) His max health is being converted into offense, then that offense number is being reduced by the debuff.

2) The offense down debuff description is misleading, and it really means -50% damage, reduced after everything is calculated in. 

3) The offense down buff is reducing base damage of the ability (unlikely).

4) the offense down debuff is bugged, as the final damage from Grievous is dealt as physical damage, and it is incorrectly reducing that number.

I think both times I attacked a hoth rebel soldier. The first one hit for 34k. The next one hit for 11k. This is with. Grievous as leader, and based on the post about his leader ability only being good against high armor targets specifically, I was quite shocked to only get an 11k hit on what was supposed to be his biggest hitting ability. 

To confuse things even more, the first skittering strike was his first turn in round 2. The second skittering strike was his second or third turn in round 3. So if his health is ramping up, why would I see such a low hit? Especially at with both g12+ pieces and only missing one g12 piece. 

They were both hrso and they were both “elite.” Even assuming the 11k was not a crit, how would 11k non-crit compute to a 34k crit? That’s almost 3 times as much. I’m pretty sure both had taunt and defense up, but again can’t be certain. 

I actually hadn’t changed his mods yet from before the rework. Here’s what I was working with. Only one of the g12 (the health one) is missing. Has both g12+.
