help with thanatos card

[Yonko]

here is the scenario

the knight use skill bowling bash of 8k on a paladin ( high def ) then the knight put a thanatos card on his weapon then he use the bowling bash again the first damage is 13k next bowling bash again is 18k. my question is how will i constantly the damage of thanatos card instead of random high damage like when you use bowling bash w/ thanatos card on paladin is 19k the rest bowling bash casted is 19k also. Hope you help me for this situation thanks!

This occurs for 2 reasons. 1 - Because Bowling Bash is a +%dmg skill, instead of a flat rate like Pressure (2,000 dmg no matter what). 2 - The knight has a lack of dex to close the dmg gap. In RO, your minimal dmg and maximal dmg have quite a large gap, mostly apparent with skills, the more DEX you have the smaller the gap. So, as there are 2 issues, that are 2 fixes.

1 - Change your Thanatos Card effect to this:

4399,Thanatos_Card,Memory of Thanatos Card,6,20,,10,,,,,,,,2,,,,,{ bonus bDefRatioAtkRace,RC_Boss; bonus bDefRatioAtkRace,RC_NonBoss; bonus bSPDrainValue,-1; bonus bDef,-30; bonus bFlee,-30; },{sc_start SC_MAXIMIZEPOWER,60000,5;},{sc_end SC_MAXIMIZEPOWER;}

The above will give the person wearing Thanatos Card, Maximize Power skill level 5 Effect, which is the equivalent of having infinite DEX. (Their DMG should always be the same number provided no equipment is changed on the target).

2 - Edit the src so that bDefRatioAtkRace increase dmg by a certain %and caps it there. Example: Make bDefRatioAtkRace deal 100% more dmg (2x) than, have it check if the dmg is over a certain number but less than another (e.g: DMG>10,000 && DMG<17,000 DMG == 16,000). Obviously, that is not written how the src needs it, but theoretically it should work, if you know how to code it.

thanks for the reply but seem i can't find the src code for the bDefRatioAtkRace i been searchin for the appropriate formula 3 days from now.

rAthena/src/map/battle.c

if( sd->right_weapon.def_ratio_atk_ele & (1<<tstatus->def_ele) ||
 sd->right_weapon.def_ratio_atk_race & (1<<tstatus->race) ||
 sd->right_weapon.def_ratio_atk_race & (1<<(is_boss(target)?RC_BOSS:RC_NONBOSS))
)
 flag.pdef = 1;
if( sd->left_weapon.def_ratio_atk_ele & (1<<tstatus->def_ele) ||
 sd->left_weapon.def_ratio_atk_race & (1<<tstatus->race) ||
 sd->left_weapon.def_ratio_atk_race & (1<<(is_boss(target)?RC_BOSS:RC_NONBOSS))

if( sd->right_weapon.def_ratio_atk_ele & (1<<tstatus->def_ele) ||

sd->right_weapon.def_ratio_atk_race & (1<<tstatus->race) ||

sd->right_weapon.def_ratio_atk_race & (1<<(is_boss(target)?RC_BOSS:RC_NONBOSS)*2)

)

flag.pdef = 1;

if( sd->left_weapon.def_ratio_atk_ele & (1<<tstatus->def_ele) ||

sd->left_weapon.def_ratio_atk_race & (1<<tstatus->race) ||

sd->left_weapon.def_ratio_atk_race & (1<<(is_boss(target)?RC_BOSS:RC_NONBOSS)*2)

what if i put *2 there? will the damage will be double?

[GmOcean]

I'm not 100% sure, but i believe that is correct, atleast from what i can see the formula is correct.

[Yonko]

not working sir.
