Hello,
Thanks for the replies.
"Against certain monsters, they might not be the same monster types you are looking at"
For the record, I tested with Zombies, Skeleton Captains and Skeleton Archers, in Nightmare in The Dark, where all these monsters have between 100 and 200 hp. Zombies are magic resistant, the others are not. Given the high damage of the Flash (sorcerer level 43, Flash level 26), none of these monsters should survive a single casting.
But as I said, some Zombies would only be damaged for a few Hp, and some skeletons for only about 20.
"Could it be the issue of a monster walking and thus the flash is missing a few times? "
I don't think so, because monsters were mostly standing still in the tests. Also, even if only one of the 19 attacks would score a hit, damage would have been much higher. OTOH, it might be a similar bug as the immunity you are now referring to.
Edit:
After giving this more thought, it occurs to me that
- the lower damage is what you would get if the proper amount was divided by 64 (one time too many, you could say).
- this might all be intentional, as it provides the Flash spell a sorta 'chance to miss' which it would otherwise lack (some of its 19 attack would always hit, and thus always give a substantial amount of damage).
Thanks for the replies.
