Warrior %/s (KMS You & I + GMS Unleashed)

@JoeTang; from a rough calculation on my side a few days ago, it appears that Lightning Charge and Divine Charge's difference in damage is because all the increase in damage skills from e.g. Elemental Void goes to %DMG, and this stacks with the Blast buff and Elemental Void Buff. Because Divine Charge has virtually no %DMG bonuses from skills whereas Elemental Void increases... like... +210%, this multiplier makes things go over the roof for Lightning Charge by a healthy percentage.

Tonight I will test it more carefully, with a full loadout check. Just bear with me for a bit.

 Paladin Charges analysis

 Range analysis and variable identification

Blast: "42%DMG"
Void: "30%DMG" and 210% increase for Lightning/Fire/Bliz
Charges: "5%DMG" per charge, 60WA => "25%DMG"
CO: 70% increase for Bliz/Fire


Fire/Bliz: 140%
Lightning: 250%
Divine(7): 336%


No other %DMG on equipment or skills
253WA (with charges, becomes 313WA)


Max Ranges
No Blast, Void or Charge: 13358


Blast only: 18968
Charges only: 20657
Void only: 17365


All use the same variable for %DMG


Blast and Void: 22975 => 72%DMG increase
Blast and charges only: 27598 => 67%DMG increase and 60WA increase
Charges and Void: 25615 => 55%DMG increase and 60WA increase


All 3: 32556 => 97%DMG increase and 60WA increase


Good agreement for all cases.

 Hypothesis

If all the damage increases for charge skills work by %DMG as well, then we expect:
Fire/Bliz
Expected "Unbuffed" = 140% * 13358 * 3.8 * 0.9 = 63958.1 max, 61079 average
Expected Void and Charges = 140% * 13358 * 313/253 * 4.35 * 0.9 = 90578 max, 86502.4 average


Lightning
Expected "Unbuffed" = 250% * 13358 * 3.1 * 0.9 = 93172 max, 88979.3 average
Expected Void and Charges = 250% * 13358 * 313/253 * 3.65 * 0.9 = 135719 max, 129611.6 average

Hypothesis has good agreement with data, although strangely the theoretical expected max damage for Lightning with Void and Charges is lower than the observed values. I must be missing something or there's something wrong with Nexon's data. I had recorded the values extremely carefully.

All the % increases to Charge skills are therefore %DMG (or of the same variable class as Void, Blast and Charges).

For the damage increase due to charge effects, the changes were really small, but because I don't have a fat-enough boss to twack, I went to Bergamot.

Fire -> Bliz: Bliz max range went from 72k to 75k (~4% increase)
Bliz -> Light: Light max range went from 114k to 121k (~6% increase)
Light -> Divine: Divine max range went from 65k to 68k (~5% increase)

Empirically speaking those charge effect bonuses look like %DMG bonuses of the same variable (and certainly not +115%, but rather it does "115% damage" i.e. +15%DMG bonus)
