Does musket have 40,000 base damage? Question for musket mains

Hey all,

Someone recently claimed that musket is OP because it hits people with at armor + fort + gem + aversion cap for 8000 damage per shot.

So a question for you musket mains, is it true that you typically hit tanks in sacred ground for 8k per shot, and presumably then light armor players outside of sacred for 15-20k per shot?

If so, I’d greatly appreciate a gear guide and some tips with my own musket gameplay, as I do not hit tanks for 8k per shot and my base damage is only 1700, not 40,000.

Thanks in advance!

Hi my favorite friend!

Maybe in someone’s fantasy land it does. Or it would’ve had to been with a super super stacked mortal emp.

hits tanks for like 800-1k

Ignore, ok muskets are annoying esp. group of 3-4 muskets when in OPR u don’t have healer… effectivness of single musket is reduced to 0 if your “prey” have a healer.

Hits from muskets 1,3k-3k. dunno why difference is so huge. Maybe musket player can explain me.

17% thrust 8,5% elemental resists + aversions.

Crazy. Looks like musket players aren’t typically getting 8k and you’re only taking 3k even though you have mixed gems and less armor?
