Range boost?
Since yesterday's patch, my self buffed range went from around 250K up to 280K, which is an increase of 30K.
I find that someone disturbing, since I didn't gain nor lose gear, and the only extra Link skills (level 2) I got after patch shouldn't have anything to do with damage directly.
Also, on a side note, anyone else notice that even though our ranges are higher, our damage seems to vary more? I used to hit about 670-800K per lines of FB before (on crits), and now it's like 550-850K. Did we have some kind of mastery variation or something? O_O

I have only recently started playing BaM's, I thought they naturally had a large variation in damage because they didn't have a 4th job mastery ....
Interesting .... does anyone know where we can get info on exactly what changed?
[quote=LittleTLK]Is it possible that total damage % is only being applied to the max range, and not min?[/quote]
Good question. I think it was both, but Ill check!
[quote=Mystelteinn]The range variation came from Total dmg% being integrated in the range.
What I still don't get is the damage variation on mobs. Nobody has the same problem with damage being more unstable than before?[/quote]

My range went down less than 1k, but I regained almost all of it back by rearranging my character cards. It should be higher than before because I have more attack and all stats as a result of the update, but it's about the same.
My range was lowered by 10k :
Just something to check but apparently char card decks were reset. Not sure if that has to do with the difference in damage.
I guess that would explain one thing. I do have 12% Total damage on my staff, which I guess, is showing on my range now.
Any clues as to why our damage seems to vary more?
I'm about 95% sure that Total Damage shows on your range now. My ES is clean but gives 9% Total Damage on pot, when I compare it with other clean ES' with about the same Magic Attack, my range decreases roughly back to what it was before the Unleashed patch. Therefore I think Total Damage shows on range now.
I'm not a battlemage but I noticed my Range;Damage ratio was a bit off. I thought it was my imagination though.
