What causes the "ripping cloth" melee noise?

[GinnasP99]

Perhaps its based on the % of your hp pool that the attack did. An attack for 84 when you're already low on hp would be a larger % than a hit for 88 at full hp. Idk worth a thought

i always thought it was when a single hit was in the upper percentiles, for instance within 10% of max hit, for instance. I never notice any randomness, it never happens (barring and creature specific sounds) on a low hit and always happens on a 'hard' one.

This seems unlikely. I just got hit for 47 and 40 from a 92-max-damage mob and they both did the sound.

I was below half of max hp, still around 400 actual hp.


I'm clueless about this.

It's a bone crunching sound and it happens because you didnt hit space bar hard enough on your way to the guards.

My best guess atm is 10% of your current HP in one hit.

My guess is it's from max hits. Higher level mobs will get a lot more max hits vs. your AC then same level or lower level ones.

You must not have read the thread.

This sound is incredible when playing Rogue. Have that crunching sound after backstabs sometimes. Such a satisfying noise.

I was going to say to OP, it's not a ripping cloth sound, it's meant to be a crunching sound as if bones were breaking with the blow. And it's a reasonably good one.

I suppose I've never heard crunching bones. It sounds like ripping cloth. I knew what it was supposed to be though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
