Also, I missed a slot for 4 and 5 orbs in my table =/
I am leaning towards it being 1.4x damage though since other jobs have non-nerfed 3rd Job skills with fewer SP, like Arrow Rain, Energy Drain.
Alright. Since Advanced Combo changes your base damage for 1~5 orbs, but still maintains the formula used by Combo Attack, we can use these two tables to determine if Combo Attack Lv20 @ 5 Orbs does 140% damage;
The following table would prove that it doesn't:
Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 140% 143% 146% 150% 153% 164% 168% 172% 176% 180%
The following table would prove that it does:
Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 140% 145% 150% 155% 160% 164% 168% 172% 176% 180%
Seeing the formula adjustment to fit a 1.4x modifier for Combo Attack Lv20 @ 5 Orbs applied here, it looks much smoother and there's a less significant jump from 5 to 6 orbs in damage.
Current formula
Combo Multiplier, 1-5 orbs = [Advanced] Combo Attack % + floor((orbs - 1) * (Combo level / 6)%)
Supposed Cygnus Formula:
Combo Multiplier, 1-5 orbs = [Advanced] Combo Attack % + floor((orbs - 1) * (Combo level / 4)%)
so Combo Attack > Soul Charge + Holy weak monsters in theory ? or is it the other way around?
