Crushing Blow Tables

[Tommi]

Rule of thumb is: "Don't trust the Arreat Summit".

Tommi's page is more detailed about the damage dealt, so I'm inclined to agree with his. The Arreat Summit also incorrect in stating that Crushing Blow damage is applied AFTER the normal damage. On Tommi's, it says that Crushing Blow damage is applied BEFORE the normal damage. I recall testing that showed that crushing blow actually was applied before, allowing low damage weapons to kill a big-health monster in 1 shot where it would otherwise be impossible. I think it was a Crystallion test...

That info was from librarian (as the credits say), who got it from a German site. I'm inclined to believe it unless tests that show contradictory results are reported.
