Anyone know how mobs scale in multiplayer, specifically how their damage is scaled?

I have been searching around for information regarding this but only found out how much their hp is buffed (75% more per player) but nothing regarding how their damage is buffed.

I've only seen the hp modifier described before as well, so I'd be interested in anything anybody may have heard about damage as well, though perhaps later in the game they don't need a damage boost as they'll live longer if you're on your own.  Therefore they'd take longer to kill and get more hits on you or have more time to back you into a corner.  Keep in mind that in the beta, there's not much progression, so eventually you're in the highest level gear available vs. moving on to the next area where monsters get stronger.

So no one has seen anything regarding this?

Tbh, the dmg doesnt really need to be increased that much, the increased hp is a big issue as it is so I'd say the dmg increase is somewhere between 10-15% per player.

I doubt the damage will scale, if it does it will probably be quite insignificant.

There is really no need to increase the damage done per monster.

Number of monsters spawning increases on a per player basis.
Health increases on a per player basis.
These combine to equal more damage going out than normal, and a tougher challenge offset by there being more players.

Is that so? You got any numbers for the increased spawn rate?

I don't. All I have is experience. When playing with one other person I did notice an increased number of monsters in a pack. Notably the pack in front of the gates of New Tristram when you first arrive.

The only thing that increases is mob health.
