K/S question

I have read that the level 20 k/s elite skill, Enhanced Holy Strike, is supposed to increase your main hand weapon damage of holy strike by ~80%.

The problem is that it seems to do the same amount of damage, 4k-5k per hit, as when I play as a k/m, which has no buff to holy strike. I was wondering, does this skill somehow scale to your secondary level ? My scout level is only 23, while my mage level is 40.

You probably don't have enough P.Att or P.Dmg to see the difference yet. You do get 10% of your secondary class base attributes though so try to level that up as much as possible.

I checked it out and it's a passive and has no upgrade. So the level of the skill has nothing to do with it. Now the other question is what level is your knight and the really big question did you actually get the elite skill? I know it sounds dumb but I question this because you seem to be a new player and might not know how to get an elite skill activated.:)

At level 67 (?), the dps% listed on a K/S's Holy Strike will be +80% as compared to that of k/something_else - or something like that. I don't know what the exact numbers are. Actually, I don't think it's +80% now, but perhaps it was before the patch in October.

That's what the elite does. What it doesn't do is multiply your damage by 1.8 (i.e. give an 80% increase in damage output). At level 20, the +percentage difference will be smaller. At level 70, k/s Holy Strike is 462% mainhand weapon DPS instead of 383.5% (i.e. +78.5%), meaning you can expect to hit (462/383.5-1)*100% = 20% harder (not 80%).

You're probably not noticing a difference because you were expecting more than what you actually get. If you had run out and killed 50 level 1 mobs before and after getting the elite and compared the damage outputs, you probably would have noticed the difference. I don't know if the difference is always 20% higher or if that's just the final value at level 70.
