Changes: Calculating Weapon Skill Damage

Revision as of 16:55, 8 April 2005

Magic-Based Weapon Skills

Damage = ((WSC * TP) + INT/2 + 8) * MDIF * ELM

Where: WSC: Secondary attribute like STR 30% (30% of your STR) (See individual Weapon Skill); TP : Multiplier (See individual Weapon Skill); INT : difference between your INT and target’s INT (caps at 24); MDIF : (your Magic ATK/target’s Magic DEF); ELM : Elemental influence (i.e. is target weak or strong to the element)?

Physical-Based Weapon Skills

Damage = WD * PDIF = ((D + fSTR + WSC) * fTP) * PDIF

Where: WD: Base damage of your WS; D: Base damage of your weapon (e.g., Espadon = 43); fSTR: difference between your STR and target's VIT; WSC: Secondary attribute like STR_30 (30% of your STR).; fTP: Multiplier (Please see chart below).; PDIF: (your Physical ATK/target’s Physical DEF); WSC = integer(any secondary attributes) x @

    Level    @
    Lv75... 0.83
    Lv74... 0.83
    Lv73... 0.84
    Lv72... 0.84
    Lv67... 0.86 or 0.87 (perhaps 0.87)
    Lv60... 0.90 or 0.91 (perhaps 0.90)
    Lv40... 0.94 
    Lv37... 0.94 – 0.99
    Lv31... 0.94 - 0.99

For example, suppose you are level 67 and have 100 STR and 100 MND and use use Swift Blade (STR 30%, MND 30%).
WSC = integer[(100 x 0.3) + (100 x 0.3)] x @ = integer(60) x @ = 60 x .86

(@ is 0.86 - 0.87 at LV67)

WD = (D + fSTR + WSC) * fTP

Note: Suspected that for Sneak Attack with THF main, the calculation is WD = (D + fSTR + WSC) * fTP + DEX + AGI
