Question about Hunger

[:1]I know that hunger cuts damage by -75%, but is that off the top or total? Like, the necromancer's weaken skill cuts damage by 33% but that's after enhanced damage, making it next to useless. If hunger cuts damage the same way it'd be easily overcome with a little extra %ed.|||Using it as a primary attack would be silly in either case

Unfortunately:


Quote:








Damage penalty only applies to final physical attack damage, so it cannot be countered by +% Damage: with 100 physical weapon damage and +400% Damage, 125 physical attack damage is applied.|||Man does that ever suck. I was thinking about using it as a priimary attack because it's faster than any other werebear attack, but if that's true then nevermind.|||Actually you can still use hunger as you main skill. I believe there is a guide on this forum, called Kodiak Bear or something. It doesn't affect magic and elemental damage, so you could try get that kind of damage instead, although you still have to deal enough physical damage to leech.|||Oh, I was thinking for pvp. I suppose if I could stack enough elemental damage though...|||Ehm, okay. Hunger is not a PvP skill. If you want a fast attack, use Fire Claw.|||Fire claw is actually slower than hunger. It's just not weapon-dependant in its damage, so people use 6 shael phase blades to hit a fast attack speed.|||What about a hunger bear stacking elemental damage and 100% open wounds, maybe some poison charms for good measure? If I use a shael'd azurewrath, duress, cerebus, gores, and dracs I can get a 5 frame attack speed, 100% open wounds and over 1,000 magic/cold damage.|||Quote:

I know it's slower, but what I meant was exactly what you said.|||Maybe if you get an eth tomby or ebotdgp hunger will be more effective alone with ctc amp from atmas ammy.
