well I asked a warrior what his bloodlust added once and he said 60 damage. His base strength was 240 but he also had a golden blade and possibly a wyvern bracelet. I havn't done too much testing with it because once you have a general idea of what's better for what, you just know what to use.

So if you are going for dps, you will naturaly have high strength where the bloodlust has a greater effect. If your strength is low because you assigned most of your points to vitality or something, the golden helmet of severity is best used.

So for rogues, you will most likely see more tank builds than a ranger with a tank build. That being said, rogues will benefit off the golden helmet of severity (If they have low strength) more than rangers due to the skill "Bolas" which allows a more aggressive build (don't get me wrong, rogues are still ahead of the game with dps).

I am confused. I don't think str effects the damage delivered from items other than the main wep does it? Str definitely does not meaningfully effect h2h. This mean this could be tested with gear, using h2h and adding str. I have not done that, but will if this is a real question. Dex on the other hand effects how often you hit for whatever dmg you are doing.

Yes str does affect physical damage (pierce, slash, crush) from items like bracelets, armor (e.g Connacht), etc.

Ah... But not fire, ice, magic, poison? That is also interesting.

Fire magic ice and posion damage add damage directly to your damage stat(10 posion damage adds 10 damage to your damage) while pierce slash and crush have like a damage multiplier type thing when it comes to how much strength you have (10 pierce damage to like 300+ strength equals like 50-70 damage
I used the word damage so much :lol:

Personally i would go with the elemental dmg helmets. Stats DMG only shows your potential dmg before resistance is applied.

For those who have played enough, you would have realised by now that even MAGIC-based damages hurts you a lot more and you almost always does not have enough resistance against Magic-based damages.

I am fairly confident to say that using the right elemental helmet vs the right mob, you will fair better vs bloodlust. And the helmet offers +150 Attack too.

I tend to agree, especially since probably 90%+ of mages have high fire or ice lures. But a mage with high piercing lure would also give you close to max damage.
If only they weren't so ugly. Most people hide them, but I always laugh when I see people wearing Madonna's bra on their heads :lol:
