[edit] Major Table changes
Of COURSE I finish this right before the patch. Oh well. There will probably be changes. For those wondering what the heck the "BlastF Damage" type is (and other "F" damage types) I have no freaking clue. Please feel free to ponder it with me. --Snicker 20:21, 19 July 2011 (MDT)
I reckon F is a modifier of some sort. Perhaps how much of it goes through armour or something like that. /Zzinged 22:02, 19 July 2011 (MDT)
Pretty sure that the Fs aren't actually damage, but are modifying some other element. Possibly visually. But I don't think they need to be included here (there's no fractional damage, which is a major clue). --Bhruic 23:00, 19 July 2011 (MDT)
Aren't F-damage attributes used in the player's spells to control the Magic Power factor (how much the damage scales as magic power increases)? Maybe a trap's power is affected by dungeon level? Or perhaps these are useless attributes. We probably don't need them, but I'm not sure. If they do have a scaling effect, we'll want to stick them in a separate column or something. --Tayrtahn 08:36, 27 July 2011 (MDT)
[edit] Trap effects
Right now, the page seems very cluttered because all of the effects of the traps are on the table. I suggest we slowly start filling up the individual pages for the effects, like on the monsters page and then make it like it is for Tentacular Infestor and Dwarven Landmine. Some are specific to the trap, but that's fine. Some are used by monsters too so use the "What links here" to check for that. Also... please don't be scared of red links. If a page does not exist we need to make it, and in order to know that it doesn't exist it needs to be linked to => red links. --Speed112 02:54, 29 July 2011 (MDT)
Except that we don't know exactly what burn and bleed do yet. They could be purely cosmetic for all we know. There was a reason that I didn't link those to non-existent pages, you can tell that I'm not afraid to do so from previous edits. The table may appear cluttered, but as there is no other way to have all of the information on a single page where it can be readily compared, that is the way it needs to stay. --Snicker 06:43, 29 July 2011 (MDT)
