sb3 vs stigma 3

[bharatb]

hi all for some reason my other thread was locked so forced 2 create new thread
i wanted 2 ask y is the damage done by stigma 3 equal to tht done by stripblast 3 the description shows tht stigma3 does 5000 dmg while sb3 does 800 dmg but when i used both skills on same monster they do same amount of damege y so??????is the descriptions wrong?

i am not sure if the description is wrong or not. as far as i know, SB does double damage on all creeps and normal damage on players. so prolly maybe u do 5k(just a random figure) normal with sb which coz of the double damage specific to the skill, actual damage is close to 10k (crit makes it 20k),
and now for the unsure part, lets say... stigma normal damage =5k+skill damage(5k as per description) =10k (Crit makes it 20k). Quite possible
But skill damage of 5k on stigma i dont think takes effect in pvp anyway.

so vs monsters both do same damage and on pvp stigma does more damage is this correct?

nop. i havent seen anything better than a <3k shot with stigma. So that clearly shows that the skill doesnt do the full damage as mentioned vs players. it might have to do with some magic resistance or some other concept which i dont know/understand. sb seems to do a lil more damage from my experience as it has more ele damage. So what i think is,
SB & stigma does more or less pretty same damage. but SB has 4 range & is AOE stigma has 9 range & is a single target skill (so u see both as its advantage & disadvantage. so... use each them when appropriate )

Again. the info i provided may not be correct. please feel free to correct me!
