I'm currently trying out the Max Carnage challenge on HNTR. For a while now I've been carting around a double shotgun on the basis that it ought to kill most things in one shot at point blank. Well, I'm in Hell's Armoury, and I just shot an Arachnotron at point blank and didn't kill it. What am I doing wrong with my math here, folks?
8 x maxed d3's = 24
24 - 10% = 21.6 rounded to 22
22 x 3 shots = 66
2 armour, doubled, times 3 = 12
66 - 12 = 54
Since they have 50 hitpoints, and he's still standing there making me really, really glad I have Juggler right now, I can only infer that damage isn't calculated the way I thought it was. Where am I screwing this up, folks?
Also Intuition is a bit too good, but that's another story.
