Sky Song damage bonus
Seems like Sky Song's description might actually be correct. The GMS version of the skill says "damage increases by 10% for every one less targets." I don't believe this was in the KMS description. Since Sky Song hits 4 targets, when you're hitting only one enemy your damage should increase by 30%. After 200 samples, my damage on one enemy versus my damage on 4 enemies had a 1.29x difference. I tested this when Wind Archers first came out but I forgot to take off my total damage gear and buffs so it messed with the results(it was still around a 1.18x increase even with 55%+ total damage in the way.) Any additional confirmations would be appreciated.

I guess they really did mistranslate. I guess that's a nice buff to wind archers.
@bowmushro0m: KMS descriptions said it was a 10% increase it never said anything about the decreasing monster effect. in other words a WA did not have 30% in bossing according to KMS.
[quote=bluebomber24]@LimsaLominsa: Yup, it looks like your right and the Korean version was mistranslated. The hi and los are definitly over the 1.1 mark and are close to 1.3x
@bowmushro0m Have you played with this by any chance?[/quote]
I'm failing to see the issue here o-o so the description states that for every monster you do 10% less damage (or for every monster taken from 4, you do 10% more)
..and her findings show that this is exactly the case. so where's the confusion?

These are 2 sets of 5 pictures against one enemy and four enemies respectively. My minimum crit damage is 1.56(hayato card, 15% ,min from glove and 15% from bow mastery) and my maximum crit damage is 1.5(default) in these pictures. The only total damage buffs I have in these pictures are the Kanna and Demon Avenger link skills both at level 2 if those count. No dojo gloves, no hyper reinforcements, etc.
against one enemy(highest I've seen on a single target was 6.3m and the lowest was 5.3m which very rarely occurs):

against four enemies(average damage is around 4.5m):

My damage against four enemies was never above 5mil(highest I've seen on these mushrooms was around 4.8m). So even If I managed to do 4.999mil against four enemies, if the skill was 10% damage only, Sky Song would do 5.5m max against a single target. But as you can see I can do up to 6.3m on a single target.

Before you say that, test it yourself. Take off all total damage buffs, including hypers, and your damage with SS should increase by 30% on 1 monster compared to 4 monsters like it did for me.
I think it goes from 250% to 260% instead when hitting a single target, they just worded it poorly.
