Dark and Darker the Crystal Sword Explained

welcome back everyone it's Jack the Stampede again today we're going to be going over the Crystal Sword just like last time we're not going to take any perks that increase magic damage and we're going to use the base stats we're using the soul server again um even though the latency is not that great at least we get some time in front of the target dummy so I'm using ignite so we can see those damage numbers and compare them as well you can't really see it but the crystal swords magic damage does 15 damage to the body and 23 damage to the Head just like the dagger the ignite damage is seven damage to the body 10 damage to the Head although it looks like the Crystal Sword applies burn damage every single time this time we're going to be adding plus three magic damage in our secondary slot as you can see all the stats are unchanged and unfortunately with this one because again we're on the soul server um the latency kind of messes with this test a little bit but the damage is perfect as you can see it's identical to our previous test some of you may have already have known this this was a learning experience for me and maybe for some of you as well just because you have plus magic damage in your off hand does not mean that it applies to your primary weapon so essentially taking a plus three magic damage crystal ball is pointless if you're using the Crystal Sword [Music] thank you another thing I really wanted to point out let me just cast ignite on the sword again here [Music] burn damage is very consistent on the Crystal Sword it does one burn damage to the body and two burn damage to the Head [Music] now unlike every spell and the ignite bonus on the dagger it does change between body shots and headshots so it's not just the initial damage it's the burn damage that changes too foreign so to get a baseline this time I'm equipping a sword with plus three magic power the damage it has is identical to the other Crystal Sword so we we run down here the first thing I noticed was absolutely nothing because all the numbers stayed together but then the second thing I noticed was the burn damage to the body was still one and the burn damage to the head is still too the Crystal Sword damage is increased from 15 to 17 and the burn I'm sorry the ignite damage to the head is increased from 10 to 11. so it's clear that the sword isn't getting the full plus three magic power bonus it looks like the headshot is but that's because the 30 is playing a role there as well but it looks like all the damage from The Sword itself is reduced it doesn't get the full magic power damage and the ignite doesn't get a damage boost at all for the most part from the plus magic power if used with the Crystal Sword [Music] so I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's by Design if it's a bug please fix the Crystal Sword is hard enough to use and here's a perfect example why if you're in a tight spot you can't even cast spells [Music] so this time we used a plus magic penetration Crystal Sword because the dummies I believe have zero magic resistance the magic penetration doesn't add any value to it since it's not plus damage it's just plus magic penetration it's not doing any additional damage so this time because I wanted to test the ignite bonus again on the dagger just for comparison of the same video we're gonna go ahead and get in here now the crystal ball is plus two and like we saw in the last one the plus two damage is before the 30 and as you can see there there's no problem casting it in tight spaces so with the essentially plus three damage because of the bonuses 10 damage to the Head it does 15 damage I'm sorry 10 damage to the body it does 15 damage to the Head but it only applied the burn damage on the second or third hit with the dagger I'm not sure if it's because of the latency with the server but the dagger just seems incredibly inconsistent compared to the Crystal Sword which burns every single hit even though the burn isn't getting the magic damage bonus that the dagger is anyway guys thank you very much for your support I'll try to do better next time
