1 year ago It would help if you explained what you mean when you say "not correctly", and perhaps give a few examples. Anyway, I suspect this is a result of the change that was made so that attacks cannot be reduced below 50% by Dampen Magic, to adhere to the patch note change mentioned here.
Patch 1.12.0 (patch date:2006-08-22): this spell will no longer reduce a spell's damage below 50% of the total damage it would have dealt. If Dampen Magic reduced a spell's hit from 100 damage to 10 damage, that spell will now do 50 damage. Note that this effect is applied before elemental resistances, thus a Dampened player with the correct resistance may receive less than 50% of the intended damage.
I'm not sure if this should actually apply to Elementals' melee attacks but it was changed on Everlook in any case. Also, patch-wise the change should come in 1.12.
With that said, I don't think Dampen Magic reducing damage to 0 is correct either. If you look at this video, you'll see that damage is reduced to 1 at least.
Describe the bug Dampen Magic not reducing magic damage correctly.
Affected mobs Example mob is the water elementals on the island northwest of Grom 'Gol in STV. These mobs both on other private servers AND retail should have their damage reduced to zero with rank 3 dampen magic, as their damage caused is frost damage. This is not taking the correct effect on Everlook.
Expected behavior Damage should be mitigated totally with Rank 3 Dampen Magic
