Character Card System

 Spoiler

Yeah, seems that way, this is quite interesting.

Goes from no cards to A Ranked Marauder.

I wish I could check Mirror Image damage, but my equips are on my other account waiting for Phantom, and I can't get anyone to transfer them til morning.

Except... my range increases by 630... which, now that I think of it, might be because of Empress Might, effectively making me 210, I guess. I dunno, that skill does weird things, like changing Buster/Fury effects for DrKs ten levels earlier, showing up as 210 in PvP.

I just realized I didn't necessarily have to do max to test MI, so here's this:

snip

43864/60863 = 72%

Oh, and this is with A Ranked Marauder and A Ranked Thunder Breaker (6x Level total), so

43864 - (210 * 6) = 42604

42604/60863 = 70%

My Paly isn't on this account, though, conveniently I made a Shadower on that account last patch to check out BoT and Assaulter, so I can check if Paly has the same effect, hold on ^^

Again, experienced an increase in range of 1.5 * Level (+180), but the effect did not carry over to Shadow Partner.

snip

2658/3798 = 70%

But interestingly enough, the venom hit in that picture, no points in Toxic Venom, reflects my non card range. (4299 -> 4479 with Paly Card)

3869/0.9 is 4299.

I gotta say, this is pretty exciting.

Try attacking on your CB with a skill instead of the default attack. Perhaps that may show an increase?

I figure it makes sense, the card descriptions are just worded badly. Apparently in Nexon's eyes, attack=range and damage=final skill damage. I guess it almost makes sense in the sense that it makes buccaneer and paladin bonuses pretty comparable (if a skill has a multiplier of 300% or more it'll be better with a paladin card, otherwise the buccaneer card will be better?). The important lesson here is that both paladin and buccaneer cards give very negligible bonuses probably not worth making characters for. I think I'm gonna save myself a character slot and just level my Cannoneer to 120 for the S rank bonus rather than going for a more useful individual card buff.

Edit: I dunno why it's adding onto your range, though. Can you test with and without the card on a high percentage skill to see if it's multiplying the card bonus by the skill damage instead of just adding it flat? It might just be showing up in your damage range because it increases the damage a plain attack of yours would do by 800.

I can test it tomorrow.
