I'm about to release an update. I was playing with the numbers to include the update with the attack arrows and decided, hell, I'll just go ahead and add as much crap as I can think of and release a new public version.
I went ahead and retested Battleship Cannon. I'm going to go ahead and use these numbers, and hopefully someone can confirm them:
Each test was run twice with one minute of straight holding the button. Having over 3.4k MP makes things nice as far as mana usage =)
I'm trying to figure out a new method of doing the equips. I want to make it standardized across every class, but I'm not sure how. The Mark of Naricain presents a problem, as well as the fact that just about EVERYONE at 200 or near 200 has better equips than the ones listed. SeiiShiko's (sorry if I spelled that wrong) damage range at level 16x being nearly as high as theoretical level 200 Buccaneer drew my attention to this problem. Should the quality of the equips matter a lot? I know better equips benefits classes with low base weapon attack and base stats(Corsairs, Buccaneers, NLs) just a little more than classes with high weapon attack and high base stats (all Warriors, Marksmen, Shadowers?)
Highly confused, but fixed. That sucks, axes are actually ~10% weaker than swords with equal scrolling.
I did the calculations without any caps, so nothing should change. Paladins are now hitting the damage they should have been doing in the first place, which is still terrible given no elemental weaknesses, unfortunately.

Oh, and by the way, with these equips and a 12 att pot BMs now outdamage NLs with SE. The Onyx Apple is still Nexon's big pineapple YOU though.

| ID | Test Name | Nominal Speed | Approximate shots in 60 seconds | Experimental Rate (ms) | Actual Rate (assumed) (ms) |
| 1 | The Peacemaker + Booster + SI | Faster (2): max(2,5-2-2) | 100 | 600 | 600 |
| 2 | The Peacemaker + Booster | Faster (3): (5-2) | 95 | 631.6 | 630 |
| 3 | Dellinger Special + Booster | Fast (4): (6-2) | 87 | 689.7 | 690 |
| 4 | The Peacemaker | Fast (5) | 80 | 750 | 750 |

Russt Wrote:Ah. I just noticed something.
For Brandish/Axe, I noticed that the base damage with Brandish is higher than without, and thought that was illogical, because Brandish is 1:1 rather than 3:2 and should be less favorable to axes.
Looking at your formulae for Brandish base damage, you averaged the min and max. This doesn't work because since the max base damage is higher than the min, a simple average weights the higher multiplier (swing) more than the lower multiplier (stab).
You have to average the multipliers first, then multiply that by the damage average.

Cavalier Wrote:Did the damage cap increase affect any numbers?
For example, Paladins should be able to do more now since they were previously capped at 99k, but I dunno if you capped your figures.
I did the calculations without any caps, so nothing should change. Paladins are now hitting the damage they should have been doing in the first place, which is still terrible given no elemental weaknesses, unfortunately.
