Crusher with a polearm

[color="#cc8899"]

 Stabbing with a Polearm and Slashing with a Spear result in only the bottom 25% of your damage range being used in calculations.

My damage range pic was outdated, so
3551-7918 for math purposes

If we assume it only uses a certain % of my range, at 170% per hit, we get...
6036 (x2 is 12k, which makes sense) for minimum
and
8000/1.7 = 4705 (not even half of my range - Crusher seems to only use the bottom 4th of my range).

I'll do some Fury calculations later.

I'm hoping with this thread (and subsequently with my Fury thread when I do some screenshots of my damage with it) will dispel the "Polearms get a BONUS when slashing and a PENALTY when stabbing" rumors. There is no bonus, no penalty. Instead, it simply only calculates using a piece of your damage range. For PA (slash) and Spear (stab), this appears to be the top 3rd. For PA (stab) and Spear (slash), the bottom. I don't ever want to hear "Polearms get a 1.25 multiplier when slashing" or the like again. It is impossible to hit beyond what your damage range would reflect with the skill, or lower than it would reflect. I do not hit 50k Furies when my range says I can only hit 40k.[/COLOR]
