how do lurker attack really work

[madragon]

I've made a made where there r 75 stacked burrowed lurkers each doing 30ish damage. Yet when they attack the damage output is SOMETIMES more than expected.

how does the damage double sometimes and not remain constant >.>
this was used against one 1 unit so i dont think splash comes into effect o_O

[Ahzz]

lurkers do 100% damage against every single unit. secondly, 75 x 30 = 2250 damage, which is a huge lot. Also, even if they're stacked, they dont start shooting EXACTLY the same moment, and thus the damage may seem constant. We're talking about such a huge damage rate, that it may easily seem more than what it should be.

[madragon]

i no its suppose to do 2250 but some times it goes all the way to around 4k damage
thats why i want to no how the spikes work >.>

does a unit between the spines get double damage or something >.>

Large units can get hit more than once.

no
Large units can get hit more than once.
really? On the 5000 1v1's I've played, I haven't noticed a siege tank die once with less than 8 lurker hits

Ya im pretty sure Large Units only take one hit, and Id trust Ahzz as well. But I think that considering the lurker attack rate could almost be considered fast that you may have certain lurkers attacking twice. Not sure. Maybe uploading the map could help?

[Protogod]

4000 is nearly 2x as much damage. They probably started firing out-of-sync and he just found it hard to measure when one attack stopped and another began.

[KillerKow]

no

I was mistaken; I was basing it off of how the lurker attack actually worked and similar behaviour attacks I've seen before. And when I said 'large', I meant building sized, but that's not really important. My bad.

[PaiN]

I think the fault in what you said KillerKow is that units have specific size ratings so a 'large' unit is an actual size of a unit. In this case a siege tank.

[madragon]

k ill lower the time to make sure they attack one

*prays it works*

[Polkaman]

Or have the lurkers surround the unit, so you can actually watch (well) how the attacks go.
