Minimum hit adjustments is a mechanic topic that Gnomonkey covers in 2 videos between 2023-12-22 and 2024-04-17. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Contents

Stats and numbers

  • The game rolls accuracy, then rolls damage from zero to max hit; the change as originally expected would roll from one to max hit, roughly a 5 percent DPS buff on zero-defence targets.1
  • The actual Project Rebalance proposal made damage roll between 1 and the current max hit minus one, so with a max hit of 58 you roll 1 to 57.2
  • Gnomonkey found that the scythe works properly with the change since it uses the true max hit to make its splats, so it only drops 1 max hit but is not hurt as he feared.3

Tips

  • With the minimum hit change as proposed you will not one-shot the Fremennik ranger with a scythe in Colosseum.4

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey notes that after the change the Dragon warhammer will never hit a zero after succeeding on accuracy, and that weapons with fast attack speeds or multiple hit splats benefit a lot.5
  • Gnomonkey does not like this change as it complicates every weapon for no reason, giving the example that Fang, which rolls accuracy twice, would get a minimum hit of 10 instead of 8, and the Venator bow would lose two max hits on ricochets.6
  • Gnomonkey says Jagex should either make zeros not exist while keeping the normal max hit, or not do the change at all, calling it complicated for no benefit.7

Events

  • Jagex announced that the minimum hit splat will no longer be a zero but a one on a successful accuracy roll.8
