Assassinate damage formula.

What is it?
Factoring in charge time.

Is it 386% * seconds charged?

With both Assassinate and Boomerang Step maxed:

[SIZE="1"](3 * (((1+ChargeSecs/2) * 560% + (((1+ChargeSecs/2) * 560%) * (0.625 * SPChargeSecs/2))))

+

(1 * (((1+ChargeSecs/2) * 710%) + (((1+ChargeSecs/2) * 710%) * (0.625 * SPChargeSecs/2))))[/SIZE]

First row = First 3 hits
Seconds row = 4th Hit

- ChargeSecs has a maximum of 8
- SPChargeSecs can't go below 2 and has a maximum of 8
- Assuming user has a 5% Critical Ring or better, so Assassinate critical is 100%

There was no bug there...

So you're saying casting shadow partner makes assassinates damage stronger intentionally? Good to know if so.

Yes, because if they didnt add this, Assassinate would have to get boosted from 560% per hit to like 2000% per hit, to keep up with Meso Explosion (3rd job skill) damage, which also hits 10 targets instead of 1 target (Assassinate).

Assassinate without Shadow Partner and without full charge is really weak. I think Savage Blow is even stronger in DPS, because Assassinate is so slow... xD

To add on this...

So yeah, I guess we both get some improvement over Shadow Partner!

Ok, posting the correct forumula, so everyone get this right, for reference:

First 3 hits:
(3 * (((ChargeBonus) * 560%) + (((ChargeBonus) * 560%) * SPChargeBonus)))
+
Last 4th Hit:
(1 * (((ChargeBonus) * 710%) + (((ChargeBonus) * 710%) * SPChargeBonus)))

Seconds in Dark Sight	ChargeBonus Value	SPChargeBonus Value
0.00 ~ 1.99	1.0	0.5
2.00 ~ 3.99	2.0	1.0
4.00 ~ 5.99	3.0	1.5
6.00 ~ 7.99	4.0	2.0
8.00 ~ 8.00	5.0	2.5

8.00 ~ 8.00	5.0	2.5

Are you absolutely sure about this? What's your source?

This means
(3 * (((ChargeBonus) * 560%) + (((ChargeBonus) * 560%) * SPChargeBonus)))

= 3 * ChargeBonus * 560% + ChargeBonus² * 560% / 2

So 8 sec to 4 sec is 560*2 + 560*16 times stronger nice xD
