Question on hate

[stownin]

I am not too sure about how much hate is generated per damage point. I heard from someone it is 1:1 and 30% more in defensive form. But I seriously don't think it is something that simple. Anyone can answer this?

It is 1:1 damage to hate. War's get 40% hate increase.

Thats the thing which confuses me quite a bit. Pardon my newbieness.

This is the description of the skills (word for word)
Taunting strike 1
This attack deals 75% weapon damage plus 68 to 76 and adds 2 hate.

So, with a low level 13 weapon, I can get around 40 damage per hit, which I have no idea why... and adds 2 hate? Isn't that like 2 damage points if it is 1:1.

Offensive Stance

Damage: 40
Attack Type: 02
Total: 42

Defensive Stance
Damage: 40
Defensive: 16 (40% of the damage)
Attack Type: 02
Total: 58

So you generate 16 more hate being in defensive stance.

Seems pretty straight forward to me. However it does seem strange that you would be hitting for that little damage when tooltip says add 68-76 damage. Seems more like you should hit around 100 or do.

[stownin]

So it means that the 40% bonus only occurs on the defensive stance?

The wierd thing is the 2 hate thing. I mean if it is just 2 points of hate, and is a skill you get at level 10, I don't get the point. :?

I think you hit the nail on the head. Taunting strike blows.

[stownin]

I think they fixed the tooltip for taunting strike recently.

[Trillis]

they did....it now reads adds 68-76 hate and 2 damage instead of the other way aound.
