Yesterday i did some pvp after a long time tbh. My arcana is +100 fire attack and my class is sorceror . For some unknown reason when my surrender landed I was doing like 300 dmg less.. Why the heck? No I haven't petitioned it..
Yes, it has to do with the attribute stones. When I increased the fire patk on my AM up to the 150 it is now, there were "stages" at which surrender did not work at all, then it only worked on fire weak mobs (e.g. the ones at Hot Springs), then I increased it further and it did not work on the fire weak mobs but instead on normal mobs e.g. in BS. I have not found any real system behind it and I have not made any notes so it is hard to figure it all out now afterwards. Even now at 150 fire patk there are mobs on which surrender works, and others on which it does not. I guess it would become clearer if somebody would increase the fire patk one stone at a time and did tests on fire weak mobs, normal mobs, fire resist mobs and players with and without buffs each and every time.
Well dont really care about mobs that much tbh since I rarely use it.. But what happens to pvp Varaya at +150? Your surrender helps at all or not? Which is not that bad tbh cause I can skip OEing surrender I guess :P
The 300 number really got my attention. I vortexed a mob last night for overhit and got 300 LESS exp. I rarely vortex the mobs because I'm leveling another recharger versus my normal one (78 SS).
