Talk:Great Cannon/@comment-101.176.151.192-20140329140743

so wait

great cannon calculates damage based on 40% str and 60% mag

now obviously it doesn't take base into account, but rather just the weapon's attack power

now this being the case, I'm curious if someone could answer some questions for me

is it only base magick that affects the strength of a great cannon? is it just ordinary strength have absolutely 0 influence, or do both have no influence on the strength of the shots?

for general use, that is to say against most monsters that do NOT have specific elemental weaknesses (e.g. strigoi and gorecyclopes that are weak to ice, eliminators that are weak to electricity etc.) would a goldforged virge of madness be the most powerful weapon to use in conjunction with the great cannon?

if I do use a weapon that relies on pure strength and has 0 magick stat, against said enemies that have specific weaknesses and high physical damage resistance, could I potentially still do significant damage to them with a greatcannon fired by said goldforged virge of madness, with periapts to boot?

which would be better against enemies with specific elemental weaknesses: a temporarily enchanted goldforged virge of madness, or a permanently enchanted weapon?

what is the calculation of stone jungle's damage? does it take base stats into account?

I'm especially curious about the last one since stone jungle is my second most-used attack, and I could swear I was doing equal to if not more damage with my dragonforged cursed bite than my highest magick sword.
