Fire Damage Poison + Weakness to Magic = ?

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 2:49 am

If you have a bow or spell that has Weakness to Fire 100% for 10 seconds and Weakness to Magic for 10 sec, and you fire first shot with a bow that has fire damage poison for x seconds, will the damage multiply each second that damage is applied? Say the poison is 24 fire damage for 20 seconds. And you use a bow with those initial weaknesses. So after those weaknesses take effect on that first shot with the poison applied, will the damage output increase each second? I'm going to do some testing on this, because logic (at least my own) would say it does.

Oh, and I'll probably try that bow and add a weakness to poison as well. For some reason I'm skeptical this will work.

The damage will not multiply each second.

And weakness to magic will not affect a poison.

But fire dmg is a magic....so you're just saying that the weakness to fire and weakness to poison might effect the second shot, not the first with applied poison.
Hmmm.... I see what you're saying, but it seems odd that fire damage would be considered a poison and not a magical influence.

Well I guess I could be wrong, but I really don't think I am. Since the fire damage will be from a poison I do not think that weakness to magic will affect it. I think weakness to magic only affects spells and enchantments.

I'd test this out for you but right now I'm having problems with my game.

I see your point but the fire damage is applied through poison not magic, though I would have thought exactly the same as you had you not posted
