EmuAlert Wrote:But I thought that Sudden Attack bonus was applied after TT, and SP is multiplicative, so it's interchangeable with Sudden Attack because of order of operations. Though I have been hearing a bit SP being unnaturally boosted by Sudden Attack (sorta like Crit + SE), is this true?
Sudden attack works like this:
original damage without darksight would be 10k 10k 10k 5k 5k 5k
damage with darksight before casting would be 13k 13k 13k 8.45k 8.45k 8.45k
SP will do 65% of YOUR TT damage instead of just half of it.

Pretty much the only place I used it, except for pap's 1st body (when it hides) and in 2nd body when you're trying to evade his dmg by going into darksight. It could be used at newties snipe spot when you're waiting for it to spawn, as well.
Whoever has a 100+ NW with sudden attack should try ACTUAL testing with ds then TT in a macro.
