But if you're getting 4.9k max without elemental damage that is almost undoubtedly correct. I have 177 poison dmg small and a bit from ravenfrost making almost exactly 200 from elemental sources. Takign into account the 75/75 split I'm getting (291 + 62)*(1 + (1.38 + 1.71)*3/4 + 1.58 + 0.49) * (1 + 1.6) = 4944; adding the 177 poison gives a number extremely close to what my character screen reads. If my merc is giving 270% enhanced damage from his might aura (it seems high for 1.09, but maybe it got boosted in 1.10; he has +1 skills) then if I add this in with the other non-synergy off-weapon ED I get the value 7.4k, which matches the listed amount after adding 200 from elemental sources. Now I feel confident to conjecture that the damage formula is
I wonder if Charge gets the same, the damage will be insane with its 20% per level ones (up to 40 points too!).
BTW, all throwing weapons (except for Ama ones) get 75% ed from dex and str, not 100% from dex. Or that might only be when you melee with them?
Edit > Using the last formula you mentioned, and guessing you have 130 str(with using 75% for str/dex bonus) I get 4.9k max damage without elemental damage, close enough?
Adding in 240% ed(level 20 Might) to the last step (synergy) gives 9.4k and middle one 7.1k.
With 150% ed (I have no idea what level his aura might be) to the last step (synergy part) gives 9.4k and middle one 7.7k.
(weapon damage + off-weapon +min/max damage) * (1 + off-weapon non-synergy enhanced damage) * (1 + synergy enhanced damage).
This at least seems to work for double throw. Someone should check with frenzy, e.g. to see how robust the proposed formula is.
edit: slight miscalculation, should be correct now
edit2: of course the formula doesn't take into account ED to demons/undead; I would be very interested to know where this gets added in to the above formula.
