Kaiser's % ATK buff - TimtheAzure - 2013-01-05
I was wonder how does Kaiser's %ATK buff stack with potential that gives %ATK.
Someone smega'd a 21% ATK Dragon Emblem and I was wondering if it would be better than say, Total/Boss damage.

Dragon Emblem's can't get boss damage, and Total Damage and %ATK both affect your damage equally.

It should stack additively if it works the same as all other classes with a %atk skill.

%WATK is different than Total Damage. Kaiser's Attack Mode and 3rd job buffs are both Total Damage.

Adding to Joe's post, it says it's % Attack in-game, it is not, it is most definitely % Damage.

Oh, so ATK mode gives you +30% Total Damage and not +30 Attack?

that's pretty bad news to boss damage, but i guess it makes the above item all the better then.

Last I checked, Attack Mode was +10% Damage at 4th job.

Yeah, but I thought all attack modes stacked, thus giving +30% Damage at 4th job? Is that not the case? The +Crit does and gives me an extra 20% Crit rate.

You're talking about the Attack. I'm talking about the Boss Damage. Yes, it gives 30 Attack at 4th job. It gives +10% Boss Damage.

Weird, %total damage on equips doesn't show up in my range, but these do.

If I were to cube just 1 thing for my Kaiser, would you suggest I do my emblem, or shield?
Kaiser's % ATK buff - Stereo - 2013-01-06
The Dragon Essence can't be cubed (no way to unequip) so I guess the emblem's your only option.
My Kaiser's attack mode doesn't actually add total damage - it's strictly +30 w.atk as far as I can see. Catalyze does bump my damage up near exactly 30% though (29.998%)

Total damage and % att affect your range equally. Total damage is reflected in the displayed hit
Att is reflected in your range.

Wow, thanks for all the great replies.
No wonder Luminous and Kaiser have such ridiculous damage at low levels. They get +% damage from their passives...

Total damage % does not show up in range. Damage% from skills is treated as %att however, which does show up in range.

I didn't say it did. I said that total damage is reflected in the visible hit
and that att% is visible in your stat window range
the only difference is that you don't see the change total damage applies until you hit something and it procs that extra damage
100-100 range, 21% att, range displays as 121-121, you'll hit a 121
100-100 range, 21% total damage, range displays as 100-100, you'll hit a 121

I saw a thread on basilmarket where a guy figured out how to cube it. I think they just dragged it on it? My memory is a bit foggy.

Hmm ok
That's not entirely accurate though, since it depends how much total and att% you currently have. If you already have +15% total damage (t10 dojo glove), an additional +21% total damage is going to do less than +21% att.
And of course total is additive with boss, so that's another thing that makes total dmg% worse.

Wait, I thought that %Att increases the character's attack based on their current weapon/magic attack, but with the way people are talking it sounds like %Att actually increases the character's overall damage range based on their current damage instead.
Was I wrong, or does %Att increase the character's weapon/magic attack?
