Character Card System

why would it be out the window, what is still unknown?

and i got to test the tri-warrior set too, based on the wording, it should be like bucc effect.

I'm gonna try to run some numbers on the 3-warrior set (since I have the 8%...) with Paladin bonus, on my level 40 Fighter.

24 blessing + 4 atk sets + 21 atk rose [lowest atk weapon I had on hand - should use a pico pico hammer] = 49 atk -> 117~588 + 60 (Paladin is 1.5*level) + 240 (2997 base hp, rounds up) = 417 ~ 888

hp: 5490 = (2997+230 equips+1200 cards) * (1+.2 hp boost +.04 drk card)


observed range with normal attacks on octopi (just to get a baseline - as a 100% attack, any methods of adding damage should be equal)
399 ~ 815
No anomalies here, no real surprise.

Move along to Power Strike - 280%, so if the numbers are added straight to range, damage should be 1167~2486 (less with pdr). If they're actually fake-added to range, and actually just added to damage, 627~1946 (again, less with pdr).

Consequently, this is proof that the warrior bonus is also added to damage after skills, and is faked in the range.

 Power Strike

I'm gonna go grab a Pico Pico and see if that makes the problem of Paladin damage tractable. That screenshot is literally the minimum damage that should be possible if Paladin damage is added to your base range, and I never hit lower, but I also never hit higher than 1850.

EDIT: Pico-Pico Powerstrikes
196~281 + 60 + 240 = 496~581 displayed
#1: both added after skills: 763 ~ 978
#2: Paladin before, warrior set after skills: 861 ~ 1075

observed: 891 ~ 1100

Houston... we have a problem. Time to make new assumptions.
#3: Warrior set after skills *and* wdef: 885 ~ 1099.3 (plausible but rounds funny)
#4: Mob's pdr is not 10%: observations dictate between 93.1% and 92%, so if PDR is actually 7%: 889~1111

edit: looking back, first one fits up with a slight anomaly earlier.


My current hypothesis is
Paladins bonus: actually added to base range
Buccs/Warrior set bonus: added after damage calculation is complete [possibly even after crits?]
