 * The damage output of Chi Blast is greatly affected by the number of times a character uses the Boost ability prior to activation.
 * Use of Boost while the Temple Gloves are equipped will also increase the damage output of Chi Blast.
 * Use of Temple Gloves is not required when using Chi Blast to retain the Chi Blast damage boost.
 * Max number of Boosts for best damage result of Chi Blast is 12 before the effect of Boost will wear off.

Chi Blast Damage Formula
The generally accepted damage formula for Chi Blast is as follows: MND * (#Boost * RandomNumber + 1) = DMG where:
 * MND is the player's MND stat
 * #Boost is the number of times the player has boosted
 * RandomNumber is a game determined number between 0.25 to 0.60 (without Temple Gloves) or 0.75 to 1.10 (with Temple Gloves).

=Chi Blast damage chart= I have used my own chi blast build for the calculation of damage inflicted by Chi Blast you can create a similar chart in MS Excell.



If you noticed the line after 10 boosts, its because of this note found on the Chi Blast page.
 * This formula has not been confirmed, as people had been reporting a MND*10 cap at 12 boosts.

However it is fully possible to achieve a damage number at 12 boosts that are similar in numbers of that of a 10 boost damage. (see Output 4 at 10 boost vs output 1 at 12 boost).
