Assassin Build

[Boffin]

Hypothetical situation:

Monster has 200 life.

You deal 170 damage in one hit.  It takes two hits to kill the monster.

You deal 85 damage in one hit.  After two hits, you've removed 170/200 = 85% of the monster's life.

Yep I thought about that.

With my two hits the monster always had a little bit of life remaining (so no over killing). I had to hit it a third time to kill it.

The damage range of both swords was tight to prevent random large hits.

Regen was also not a factor as death came quickly ;)

I'll test some more items soon, what were you comparing between?
