Damage sections

[Torp]

well, i've heard different people say different stuff about how much damage is done to each region wth different weapon types.

So first of all; is there any difference in the bonus from hitting head with the different damage types? afaik tehre isn't, but now i just want to be sure.

second; how much dmg is done to the legs?

I've heard people say it's the same as body, i've heard people sya it's half the damage and i've heard people say it's 75%... what is true?

Damage depends on skeleton bone hit, not on generic "regions".

head bone: melee 120%, ranged 210%
thigh/calf bones: 90%
every other bone: 100%

are you telling me that a head hit is only 1,2*dmg?

[Dravic]

Hm... 1,2 isn't "only". For me, it is really noticeable amount of dmg. For example: 20 dmg in chest, 24 in head (example, without any other calculations!). If target has 23 hp, he'd survive first type of hit, but not second. =D

I always thought the thigh came under the body hit area and that only the knee and under was the 'leg' area, well I was told so anyway.

I'm not sure if they fucked up or something, but thigh and calf get damage reduction, foot doesn't.

so hitting the foot still does 100% dmg?

this sounds weird, but interesting though

Yup, hence why every good archer always shoots for the feet of low-skill shielders, as it is a double-whammy.

[Felagunda]

In native I though foot was 50% is it that different here?

[Kryser]

Piercing weapons do triple damage to the head. 

[Vexus]

Yea shouldn't hits on the legs deal 50% less damage? I mean who would die from a crossbow bolt in the foot lol.

[Ninja_Khorin]

Achilles?

Nope, urban legend.

[Paul]

I remember suggesting in Native beta that piercing damage should get a bonus for a head hit. Of course it was not implemented.

[Bobthehero]

Thats weird I can one shot pretty much everyone no matter the helmet they wear with a stab to that face, but not with a slash.
