v1.09 BSpear damage is 184-192 @ slvl 22 (from ChippyDip's)
v1.10 BSpear damage is 624-664 @ slvl 22 (from Arreat Summit)
Monster hitpoints have doubled in Hell mode (from Arreat Summit)
To keep pace, old BSpear would have to have doubled to 368-384.
The v1.10 BSpear damage then represents a 69.5% improvement in the effectiveness of BSpear. (624 divided by 368 expressed as %)
The improvement in this example did not come free but only with a substantial investment in skill points.
By the way what is the max improvement?
4 dependencies maxed is 4 X 140% or +560% extra damage
Let me guess (because guessing is fun!) the maxed out BSpear damage:
v1.09 BSpear damage is 168-176 @ slvl 20 (from ChippyDip's)
assuming base damage is doubled then
v1.10 BSpear damage is 336-352@ slvl 20
then compute the maxed damage as X 6.6 (100% + 560% = 660%)
v1.10 maxed BSpear damage is 2217-2323
Pretty Cool.
Well, I had fun!
