Talk:Damage 1.0/Explosion Damage/@comment-129.138.32.87-20131010221824/@comment-11753608-20131108155029

The benefit is that Explosion damage has the ability to hit multiple body parts at once. Torid clouds only hit the 2nd body part on the parts list for each mob - although, I think this is modified if the enemy is ragdolled. But the point is when I shoot an ogris missle or a thuderbolt arrow, it explodes and can hit like 3-4 body parts at once, thus giving explosion damage a nice multiplier effect. Couple that with a multishot mod and you can start to realize what X6-8 damage to an ogris with a base AOE damage of 500 (diminishing with distance) can do....
