Taur doesn't get the unarmed damage bonus anymore, and it's separate from feral (you can be a two-legged feral, which is the default for some races), which still doesn't have an in-game way (including debug menu) to access yet, so you'll have to save edit for them.
A fellow individual of culture, I see.
Screw extra arms, when can we have a back mounted laser cannons for taur characters?! I want to arcane (cheat) science the ever loving shit out of some of some stupid(ly awesome) weapons/combos on allies (test subjects). Imagine, riding on the back of a moose-taur wielding two rifles and a back mounted cannon as you lob magic/long range weaponry upon anyone stupid enough to not run! I have gotten no rest after work and my tired ass brain is going into shitsville.
We've been in 0.4.9 since late September of last year, so coming up on nine months.
Actually, I overthought this, the Soldier double damage boost is actually better than the extra 50 flat fire from cloak of flames.
Apparently the damage type doesn't matter at all. I hopped into the game to try duplicating your damage and I discovered a few things I didn't know before.
The reason for fire specifically was when I was using the bonus unarmed damage as fire from Cloak of Flames, and I wanted to increase the bonus damage from it as well. The current Soldier setup can be any element.
I wasn't able to get this, either in tooltip, the stats page, or doing a few practice combats. Were you just low-rolling on damage a lot as feral?
Sorry, I wasn't questioning why you were using Fire. I was commenting on the fact that Fire damage is the exact same as Physical damage.
Chalk this up as a genuine facepalming DERP moment!
I though that by learning 3 fire spells you unlocked the magic lamp thingie and avoided darkness debuffing your accuracy/damage, did you lose that as a feral or this character didn't had that perk?Sorry, I wasn't questioning why you were using Fire. I was commenting on the fact that Fire damage is the exact same as Physical damage.
I could be deluded, but I seem to recall a time where there was a difference in the damage for each element. Physical damage did the most, then fire was second, then Ice damage was 3rd, and poison damage was in last place.
If it was always like that, then it is just me not paying attention to it before now.

I rolled my character back from being feral to 'normal' and I still had those melee debuffs. When I sat for a moment and walked back and forth between a couple tiles 'the lightbulb came on' ...
...

I was fighting in the sewers.
The game automatically places you in 'dark' mode in the alley sewer tiles, even if it is the middle of the day. I moved my character up to Dominion proper and picked a fight with something and the penalties were 'magically' gone.
My characters never seemed to miss and I was still one shotting everything, so I never paid attention to the darkness debuff or what it did.
Its magic eyes for seeing in the dark. While we're on the element subject, all elements do the same damage with the only difference being what the enemy has higher resistances/shielding against vs. your character's damage/damage type.
I am pretty sure that having 3 fire spells does cancel out that debuff from dark areas. I tend to skip over the fire spells and the bonus, its usually earth, water and 1 Arcane spell (telepathic communications I think).
Okay. It is just me, not paying attention then.
I see, is Wind/Poison the least resisted element in the game? Asking because of how Elementals work when it comes to granting you a free bonus to elemental damage, it goes:
You can get them in the second town by doing a quest for an NPC at the market area, so slime is still the best route to becoming a dragon
Also to get the TF you need to way till it's in the first 2 days of the month, so it may take a loooong time and then you have to do a quest for that.
