Chime of want vs dragon chime

[FlashStep]

I am a cleric , SM ~9 mil, SL 230 pvping, with 60 faith. I have both of these chimes fully upgraded with lightning enchant, and dragon chime does +287 with chime of want doing +241 lightning. However I get more damage out of chime of want right now. is there a point where dragon chime becomes better?

[Senrei]

Chime of Want is the best chime for hexes. Dragon Chime is the best chime for miracles.

Therefore, Chime of Want scales much better with dark infusion, and Dragon Chime is better with lightning.

[FlashStep]

so i thought, but why am i getting more lightning damage out of the chime of want?

[Senrei]

You said Dragon Chime is +287, and Chime of Want is +241. It's impossible for the Chime of Want to outdamage the Dragon Chime in lightning since it only has an A scaling for lightning, while the Dragon Chime has an S scaling.

[FlashStep]

right, which doesnt explain why im getting more damage out of the chime of want, since the boost is less..

[Senrei]

That doesn't make any sense. It could just be some RNG damage, I don't know. Because that shouldn't be the case.

[FlashStep]

this was tested against the alonne knights right outside the iron keep.

[Senrei]

Well, I don't know what to say. The Dragon Chime is hands down the best for miracles. Don't know what's going on.

[FlashStep]

i will take your word for it!

You either haven't infused them properly or you are mistaken. What you are suggesting is impossible. It's pure math....

In DS1 having 34 strength and two handing a stone greataxe gave a higher AR than the Dragon King Greataxe, yet the DKG did more damage per hit consistently. DS2 probably has other factors in play that are not clearly visible.

You can't really deem your testing conclusive, because Alonne Knights are weak as ♥♥♥♥ to lightning, so what may have happened is that you one shotted them with your Dragon Chime, and therefore the AoE affect didn't apply, but when you were using Nashandra's toy, you dealt slightly less damage and, therefore, the AoE damage was slapped on.

That's extremely plausible. You're probably right!

I suggest testing weapons on the giant basilisk in the Aldia Mansion.
