[Pre-BB] MapleStory Formula Compilation

May I request information on Assassinate? I'd like to know how it works well enough to be able to put it in a calculator. Also, I'd like to know if crit affects it differently if it's charged less, and what the deal is with the crit on the last hit.

Thanks.

EDIT: While I'm at it, where can I find a generally agreed-upon set of skill speeds for the Aran skills at various weapon speeds? All I know of is that table earlier in this thread and Devil's assumptions as to how to lower it. Personally, I don't trust estimations like that, so I'm wondering if anyone knows (or can find out) for sure.

From what I've found, Double and Triple Swing are accurate from that table. Normal Attack I measured to be 600ms Base speed, not 750ms.

As for Assassinate... I was never too clear on how the critical worked, but
Stage = 1 + FLOOR[(Time - 1) / 2] when time > 0

Stage 0 = 0 Seconds
Stage 1 = 1 Second
Stage 2 = 3 Seconds
Stage 3 = 5 Seconds

etc.
Where every even Stage, you gain 100% on your base damage for your first three hits.
i.e. Stage 2, you do 2x damage on the first three hits
Stage 4 you do 3x Damage.
Every odd Stage, you gain 100% on your final hit
Stage 1 you do 2x damage on the 4th hit
Stage 3 you do 3x damage

etc.
Critical, I -think- it's the rated% -100 (i.e. +150% at max) at whatever rate it occurs added on top of the final damage, so it's always +150% damage when you get a critical.
