Obscurantis mechanics

So I just got this helmet and tested it on my "undeniable" juggernaut with Lightning Strike and Frost blades. Cant say I noticed any difference when it comes to projectile damage with over 10k accuracy.
What am I missing?

May be you already hit the accuracy cap.

10k accuracy would only give you 50% increased damage. If you have, say, 300% damage from all other sources, you won't notice a big difference.

Also, you are very likely making use of things like Physical Projectile Attack Damage, Melee Physical Damage, and other "more" modifiers that make a simple 50% "increased" damage much, much harder to notice in its own right.

Accuracy cap wouldn't do anything for this.

when you say "noticed" do you mean during gameplay or tooltip?

if the first is the case than you already have lots of increased damage thus extra 50% increase is not that noticeable. if the latter then you are missing that tooltip shows damage of LS initial melee hit only

beg your pardon?

1) Its exactly the opposite to what you say, with "more" damage mods it would be more noticeable, because the damage difference in absolute numbers would be higher.. but in relative numbers the impact of increased damage would stay the same no matter how many or how high "more" modifiers you have.
2) he is likely to use MPD with attacks that focus on projectiles.. omg really?
3) I know you have good intentions, but what is the point of giving people game mechanics advice in Gameplay Help forum when you have troubles with the basics yourself?

I added the rest of my post to what you quoted. I bolded it to help you read it, which I hope you'll do.

Given that it is an attack, his strength is going to affect the damage. Unless he's using an Atziri's Foible, he has at least some 100-150 strength. This is at least 20-30% applicable damage.

He is also very likely allocating increased damage from passives. I'm one of the very few players who don't get much damage from passives. This is the largest source of increased damage for him. It's likely he has a minimum of some 100%, and likely pushing upwards of 300% without serious investment.

50% increased is going to be a very small change in his DPS if he has 300%. But I already mentioned that.

You should learn to read before trying to claim someone has trouble with the basics, Ludvator. And I don't recall you attacking me personally like that before. I suggest you stop now, because you've seen me tear up other dumbfucks wide open before.

It is serious when someone makes a false accusation, especially against a person personally.
