Why do my wall bangs do less damage than others?

[McJiggy]

Whenever anyone else does it they do 1000+ damage to the monster but whenever I do it I end up only inflicting around 500 or less.

Wall bangs do a percentage of a monsters max health. So different monsters and multiplayer scaling will yield different results.

[Walrus-Sama]

Wall Bangs do like 2.0-2.5% of a monsters health it seems.

It has many variables to evaluate, you need to know if it is the critical element, if the part is softened, its adornments.
It is not enough to want to do something, you have to know how it was done.
And other than that, you have to check if them are not applying a cheat

its a percentage of HP dude simple as that, everyone who wall bangs the same monster will do roughly the same damage. since a monster gets more HP in multiplayer, the number between solo and 4 player will differ, the number between great jagras and kulve taroth, will differ, the number between kulve taroth and kulve taroth, will be the same

With some monsters it seems to do more damage each wallbang

[Kawalorn]

As said above, wallbangs do around 2.5% damage.

You probably saw other people doing it in a team fight, while you are playing solo. Monster have more HP when fought in a group.

I can understand the confusion as to if softening a monster's head can affect the wall bang, but CRITICAL ELEMENT?!? wtf does critical element has to do with wall banging? Or did you not even read the post at all?

This is false information. Wall bang damage is fixed at 2.5% of monster’s health. For MR elders which usually have more than 20k health in single player, the wall bang deals about 500 damages. In multiplayer of a 3 or 4 member party, the monster health multiplier is around 2.2 to 2.5, which means the wall bang damage also goes up to over 1000.
