Confusing difference in Cap IW sp2 damage

Icecold2099

Fury with 4 kenetic charges, 3x Petrified, 3x weakness, 3x armor break, CRITICAL HIT
5,781 damage
Vs Magneto in master assignment


Fuey with 4 kenetic charges, 1x Petrified, 2x Weakness, 2x Armor break NO crit
11,554 damage
Vs Deadpool in master assignment


Neither have extra nodes. They were back to back fights. Magneto first then deadpool.

Why does the crit vs magneto do half the damage as the non crit vs deadpool when it had stronger fury and more debuffs??

That Magneto is awakened and therefore has damage reduction from his signature ability.

Looks like someone forgot about refraction

Yep what he said. Mag sig ability is basically safeguard and you can only do so much damage to him in one hit.

Rogue42

Yeah, sorry, more of a damage cap than damage reduction.

So, doing the math with that 17.58% as the number, that crit should have hit for 33k.

Patchie93

Well remember that's just my personal one where it's only 52 Sig lvl not sure the Sig lvl of the one in master quest but you can't really tell. Since it says he can only lose 17.58% of his health. You could've done an extra 500 damage or an extra 50,000 damage.

Rogue42

Yeah, you’re right. The cap on damage Is on the defensive side, not offensive. Should have said that with the 17% example that the crit could have hit for that damage, not should have.

Ahhh okay . Thanks for the info. That makes sense now.
