Or how any of the card bonuses came to their numbers since they seem to work somewhat arbitrarily. It sounds like some of the math has been fleshed out, though. If I'm understanding correctly and a level 200 Paladin card gives 2 damage per level on your range, it would give 400 damage to another level 200 on their range. Assuming your class can do about 4000% to a single target (that looks pretty close to average according to the tables I've looked at for most classes), that means that a level 200 paladin card would give another level 200 character approximately 8000 more damage per second, which is practically nothing to the kind of person that would have 2 level 200s.
Unless I'm mistaken, the IL/Pally/Bucc cards suck really bad, which I guess was the point.
that's correct about the pally, however, i'm thinking it's not THAT bad, considering all the other effects out there, but it does seem going for applicability rather than damage skills to be the better choice.
as for shadow partner:
your damage+bucc bonus
shadow partner divides that in half, and then adds the bonus again, allowing for a maximum of +3000 damage (lol) which is nothing, but if you can on every hit it should make your SP hit 2000 above 699999 which is something i guess?
bucc card really sucks lol.
