Paired Crits

Stereo... if you don't mind... I'd like to quote.... well... you.

The thing is, in order to calculate damage from an attack, Maple generates some random numbers.

There's an upper limit to the amount it will generate (I think it's about 6 per attack). After that, it just loops back to the start of the array. I guess cause generating random numbers is relatively expensive, and they don't want to just keep throwing in more and more.

So, on an attack that needs a lot of random numbers (eg. SB + crits) you end up with 2 of the hits using the same random numbers. (like, 0.2837423 and 0.1289285). Which calculate out to the same damage, repeated.

I dunno why level of dagger would affect that though.

Also happen to have a pic of TT doing the same damage while in darkness...

That may have been just speculation on your part, but it is the best explanation that fit the data we had at that point.
