Regarding the smash damage formula change.. Can someone explain it to me in more detail? How does DR factor in?

My maximum damage and average damage per round took a major hit, almost 50 damage. The monsters I'm fighting only have a DR of 3-6, so that seems a little excessive unless I'm not understanding how DR works?

Target DR is subtracted now before the x 5 smash damage bonus is applied.  So if your target has 6 DR you'd lose at least 30 on the smash round vs the old formula.

Ah, OK. That makes sense.

That changes smash a ton. Not that I'm necessarily complaining, I think it's quite possibly a fair change. Surprised nobody has bitched yet though. Was this a change that had been in the works for a while? Don't think I've seen anyone mention that smash was broken.

We've known for awhile that it was hitting harder than it should.
