[Pre-BB] MapleStory Formula Compilation

True, it could work either way. That, however, may make monster's wdef up skills make more sense.

I don't think the data will show that it can go either way. Your Base Damage removed(using your Formula) will usually be bigger than the amount that would be added to a Mob's Def(if using my formula). So using your formula assuming you have a Base Max of 20,000 and the difference in Lv's equals 10%, then losing 2,000 Damage on top of a mob's Def is still a bigger reduction, then lets say using my formula and Anego getting +300(10% of 3,000) to her W.def before you divided her W.def in Half(* 0.5). I think the Lv bonus a Mob gets isn't supposed to make it impossible to deal a decent amount of damage, but to remove a tiny bit more damage than normal until your the same Lv or greater. Using the formula you've constructed I've always seen that it removes too much from damage, and that's when I thought that it boosts Mob Def instead. So if you were to try my formula on Anego with 3,000 W.def and see what you get, I think, aside from a Def boost spell it should give a more accurate range.
