DMG or DMG Multiplier?

[Steven Silverheart]

Whats best to upgrade? If you dont mind could you explain that Multiplier exactly does?

Cheers :)

Well isn’t it obvious?

DMG: Increases damage dealt to enemies.
However, DMG Multiplier: Increases the multiplier for damage dealt to enemies.

… yeah I have no idea lmao

[Retsubty]

even split because they get more expensive anyways.

2 and 2
3 and 3
4 and 4

I say skip stamina damage unless your weapon is good at that. (spear lol)

Dual wield barely ever gets off brutal attacks. 1 or 2 per boss so I feel like investing in it is kind of a waste.

Any news what's the deal with these two stats?

Ill be doing some testing in the training ground once im back home.

This is all a guess but I assume damage multiplier affects things that at base level have a multiplier already.

Weak point hits
Back attacks
Damage to exhausted enemies

That’s my assumption. Could be wrong or missing some.

the DMG Increase boosts the base damage of your attacks directly, making each hit stronger by a fixed percentage. On the other hand, the DMG Multiplier Increase amplifies the overall damage output by applying a multiplier to your base damage, which can scale with other factors like critical hits or additional bonuses.

Essentially, DMG Increase is a straightforward enhancement, while DMG Multiplier Increase can lead to exponential damage growth depending on your build and other stats. If you're aiming for consistent damage, DMG Increase might be the way to go. But if you're looking for explosive damage potential, DMG Multiplier Increase could be more rewarding.

I think that each bonus relates to the 3 weapon types in the game.

Stamina dmg would be useful for anyone who runs a spear build as it's the best weapon for wrecking shields.

DMG increase would be aimed at Great Sword for raw power per blow

DMG multiplyer for dual wields burst DMG through things like phantom blade with whirlwind etc.

I play mainly dual wield right now as I prefer it, so I have invested the first 2 points into each but will primarily focus on DMG multiplyer with a little overall DMG. That way if I can't get a flurry of hits off, I at least hit a tad bit harder overall.

in a nutshell:

Damage increase = increases your base damage
That base damage is amplified by damage multipliers

So in a nutshell both are good ut damage increase is slightly better than multiplier.

Sounds like what I expected, so if you are stacking general damage its best roll BOTH of these on a gear piece.
