trap immunity is now vanilla e.g., Boots of Wormtongue .

It was found by a priest and there dont seem to be any items giving extra blows, so the numbers are not all that impressive.

Another priest just found this sweet stat stick on the dive:

[Estie]

a) the Mace of Disruption of Gwinim (13d8) (+6,+18) <+1, +3>

Slaying evil (and demons) thanks to the spell and attempting to enchant it further doesnt seem to work - a few dozen casts only increased the initial +5 to +6.

The Mace of Disruption of the balance of the game. that is ridiculous damage. You're literally doing 3X the damage I do in a good warrior game.

[Sky]

i think you have a winner there.

Can anyone explain those numbers? From the character sheet Estie posted, the total melee damage of Estie's weapon including all bonuses from equipment is

13d8 + 72 = 130.5 average per blow.

7 blows makes 913.5 per round, not 1211.

So that's off a fair bit. But even more the slay undead version should only multiply the 13d8 so it should be:

(13*4.5*3 + 72)*7 = 1732.5 per round, not 2472.4.

What am I missing?

Probably the other items the character is wearing, i.e. a =+15 dam and a "+5 Weaponmastery.

I'm also trying to wrap my head around it slays undead but does more damage to Demons, guessing that's a "disruption" thing?

[thapper]

I think the damage calculation includes criticals and maybe something more as well?

No, the damage ring, weapon mastery amulet and all other EQ with combat bonuses on are included in the +72 shown on the character dump (as well as the bonus from high strength etc).

The demon damage being higher than the undead will be the priest/paladin spell you can cast which gives you a temporary off-weapon "slays demons powerfully" effect.
