Corpse Explosion calculation
hmm does anyone know how Corpse Explosion calculate its damage?
Unlikely to be intelligence because my warrior with 12 int does higher damage with it than a mage with 35 int (350+ vs 290+ damage to same target)
The mage also had higher necromancy ... and because it does physical damage, pyrokinetic shouldnt have affected.

Warfare probably what buffed your damage. Idk if its int related. Just save/load and check

I dont think so. The mage does a lot more damage with mosquito swarm which is also physical damage.

Necro inflicts physical damage.

Adding points on STR doesn't increase the damage of Necro skills
Adding points on INT increases the damage of Necro skills
Adding points on Warfare increases the damage of Necro skills
Adding points on Necro doesn't increase the damage of Necro skills
Adding points on Necro increases the healing amount of Necro skills
Adding points on Hydro increases the healing amount of Necro skills

Healing part is a bit complicated. I won't write it here cause no one likes complicated things.

Corpse Explosion is basically a Necro skill which deals physical damage, but I guess it might be affected by Pyro points. I haven't actually tested it yet.

I could be wrong but I think CE only does physical damage when you cast it .... just like every necro spell.

Normal Necro Skills Damage = BD × Level × (1 + INT × 0.05) × (1 + Warfare × 0.05)
Corpse Explosion = BD × Level × (1 + Warfare × 0.05)


Normal Necro skills scales with both INT and Warfare, but Corpse Explosion scales only with Warfare.

Default) STR FIN INT CON 10 Pyro Necro Warfare 1 Damage = 125 ± α
I've tried 10 points on Warafare. The damage was increased by ×1.5 = 180 ± α
Other attributes or combat abilities didn't have any effect on the damage.


[Edit 2017/11/11] Corpse Explosion now scales with both INT and Warfare. I guess developers fixed the skill.

Seems reasonable.
