Critical Ring's "Instant Death"

Has anyone else found that the damage doesn't correspond to the monsters actually being 1hko'd? I get a lot of monsters dying in 1-2 hits (should take 3) without the huge damage.

I have only observed the first star displaying 1hko damage. Maybe the 2nd and 3rd have chance to 1hko but it's not displayed?

So far from the tests I have preformed it seems to be correct, hitting 80k on Skelegon and 85k for the other ones at skelles, which are correct. Furthermore I was testing it at Oblivion 4 and seeing 141k which is also correct. However I think some of the monster's HP values were changed, I noticed while making one of my ring mules that the max level 3 snails skill (40 dmg) one hit kills red snails (should have 45 hp), I also remember that max 3 snails would not one hit kill red snails before... but now it does. So its possible they changed the monster's hp values for various mobs: Although unconfirmed.

As for the 1st hit being the only one hit kill hit - I have not been too observant to pay attention to what hit it appears (2nd, 3rd ...) I have not seen multiple 1-hit activations in a single attack group (4 shots with cannon).

I've noticed this too, I've been OHKOing level 27 white baby monkeys with 200s sometimes and other times they take a 900 and still have half HP left. Another 200 kills them, though. o_o

There's something real weird with damage lately, at least at low levels, the other day with my warrior ring mule I was killing some Jr.Wraiths and I would kill them with a miss and sometimes they survived a 1.5k, it's VERY weird.

I think if the 1hko activates, it just sets your first hit to do 1hko damage. Even if it misses.

Whats really weird, is that the instant kill supposedly works with DoT, such as infernos burn effect.

Another strange thing is I cant seem to get the instant kill effect to activate on my Aran while attacking more than 1 mob. Ive only seen it activate when attacking one enemy with my aran, with the exception of the combo skills (smasher, peril ...) While I have seen the instant kill effect on Battleship Torp. On another note I am paying attention to what # hit is the instant kill and it seems to always be the 1st hit in a set of multiple attacks (1st hit of Cannon's 4 hits) If the ring only calculates instant kills per attack, then it wouldn't be the most hit based attacks that would be getting instant kills often such as TT with its 6 stars would only count as 1 attack (roughly 90 attacks per minute), where SoA (Hurricane) or Rapid Fire at 500 attacks per minute should. Just a theory for now: but this may be difficult to test without a substantial amount of statistical data # of instant kills per attacks vs # of instant kills per hits.

Also seems to activate on summons like Octopus too.

Oh wow Poison Mist + crit/cruel ring = win

That seems more like an issue with the client and server damage not matching. If you relogged or whatever to reset it, you shouldn't have anymore problems

I heard that the effect works on bosses too, but just does 200k damage. Is there any screenshot proof of that?
