My Drake’s Breath skill is meant to do 4x 1,404 damage. Shouldn’t that mean that the damage is supposed to do around 1,404 on every hit? Because it seems i only get around 700 when I inflict critical damage. And only about 330 on normal hits.

Is this normal with attack that do multiple hits?

Damage tooltips in this game are awful. But to answer your question, 4×1404 means, over the course of 4 hits, it will do, in total, not counting critical hits, 1404 damage, approximately.

What Neko said, can be found by: 1404 / 4 = 351
351 × 2 (critical assuming no crit damage) = 702

So your build is 0 0 10 30 30?

At level 80, the opponent Armor value used to calculate the tooltip’s direct damage is 2600.

Tooltip damage = (average weapon strength) * Power * (skill-specific coefficient) / (level-based Armor value)

2600 Armor is used in the tooltip damage computation.
