AoR mechanics

[Crius 0]

I've searched but came up with nothing conclusive, so I figured I might as well ask.

 

Say you have a level 10 archer that does 100 damage with a basic attack and has L10 AoR. L10 AoR has a "damage boost" of 6 times your character level (I assume it's the character level at least), so that'd be 60 for this particular archer.

Next, take two enemies (A and B) standing next to each other and use AoR on enemy A. What damage will the two receive (before anything is absorbed etc.)? I see three possible scenarios:

1) A and B both receive 60 damage, i.e. AoR does a static amount of splash damage to all targets.

2) A receives 160 damage, B receives 60 damage, i.e. AoR does a static splash damage to all targets, and base damage to the selected target.

3) A and B both receive 160 damage, i.e. AoR does static plus base splash damage to all targets.

4) [Wild card] None of the above (they receive some damage that can't be predicted based on the available information).

 

Anyone know?

160 for both A and B as far as I know.

I just want to stress that I'm not trying to be rude here, but when you say as far as you know, is that based on any actual tests or at least in-game experience/instinct, or is it more along the lines of you heard someone say it was like that once? Like I said, I've searched, and seen all 3 versions.

I had a 126 Archer which I leveled by myself to that level with AOR only,

so yeah.. I'm pretty sure.

If he says that, it must be so...

Fair enough. Thanks. If anyone disagrees, feel free to speak up.
