Alright, just u guys wait until the reset hits 
I plan to up that skill to level 5 
I saw the gif animation above and I have some questions.
In the gif, the Mob are named in Korea, so the letters should different from my English version. Does the language I play have something to do with the calculation skills?
Should I calculate name of my character to avoid get the high number from opponent Kabbalist in PvP?
The clone doesn’t work in PvP, right?
Afaik the calculations are only based on the Korean names as it would be too hard to rebalance everything between English and Korean naming…
As for point 2, I don’t know if the calculation even works on players; if yes,it could be interesting xD

Well, if I cannot see the Korean letter in iToS, so it is not calculation skills at all - More like, remembering or guessing skills. And it cannot even calculation player’s name, there is no part for any calculation left.
afaik you can change the games language to Korean ingame in the menu under the option language. The problem is that the display of Korean language is broken for the client and will only show as gibberish:
We’d need to have someone with Kabbalist on KTOS and/or JTOS to countercheck if the result is always the same,though.
Mobs have two names: one for displaying to players and use in game and another name that’s used inside the database mostly for making developer’s lives easier.
For example: The popolions in east siaulai woods is called “Popolion” but in the database their name is actually “Popolion_Blue”. The skill uses their database name instead of their actual display names.
Now let me try to explain how the skill works:
In a computer, every character is actually a number. The reason for that is because computers only understand 0’s and 1’s and those are used in the computer as binaries but represented to us, humans, as decimals (or whatever other base you want). So when you read the character “a” in a game, that character is nothing but a number (in binary) to the computer.
The most common programming languages of today use what we call an ASCII table to convert the number (saved in computer) to a character (displayed to us, humans). basically what the ASCII table does is say what number represents what character.
If you take a look at an ASCII table, there are a bunch of symbols that also have numeric representations. But for now, let’s stick with the letters of our alphabet:
http://www.asciitable.com/index/asciifull.gif
So if you look at the Char “a” in the table (in last column), you’ll see it has the decimal value (notated as the ‘Dec’ column in the table) of 97. Also note that “a” and “A” are two different characters thus they have different decimal values.
Now let’s focus on the Gematria skill. Basically what it does is this:
-
Take the monsters database name.
-
“Convert” every character in the monster’s name to their respective numbers in ASCII table.
-
If the number is bigger than 100, divide it by 100 and take the rest of that division (this is called the “mod” operation in programming, represented by the “%” symbol, where division is represented by the slash “/” symbol).
-
Sum up all numbers, divide it by 10, and take the rest (again, mod operation).
-
This is the final number for the skill.
So now let’s see if this works:
I tested Gematria on a popolion in east siaulai woods. His database name is “Popolion_Blue” and remember the algorithm is case-sensitive.
This is the screenshot of the numbers being computed:
Now look back up at the ASCII table. The first character is “P” which gives us a decimal number of 80. The second character is “o”, which should give us a number of 111, but remember we need to take the rest of the division by 100? So that gives us the exact number in the screenshot: 11. Next character is “p”, remember it is case-sensitive, and following same logic as before, this gives us number 12. If you keep going on, you’ll see the numbers match the ASCII table perfectly.
Just a little note there that the last number is horizontally flipped because of the skill animation, it is number 01.
Now we have to sum up all these values exactly as in the screenshot. We get a total result of 367. 367 % 10 = 7. So now let’s check if our result is correct:
And it is! Amazing how our little kabbalist friend can calculate all those numbers so fast.
Now, I haven’t tested Notarikon (mostly because I didn’t take it in my build), but according to description and some common sense, I believe it should follow the same logic but take only the first and last characters of a mob’s database name, sum them up, and take the rest of the division by 10.
Now, why does all that matter? Well, if the skill works exactly the same way in pvp and takes the actual player name to make the calculation, you can spend some time thinking of your character’s name as to both Notarikon and Gematria always result into 1. Is that really important? Nope, completely not. But hey, we can always piss off some innocent kabbalists!
You asked about players with Korean or Jap symbols in their names, but it really doesn’t matter much because those symbols will just get translated back into numbers exactly the same way using an extended ASCII table.

Damn… thanks a lot. 
Edit:
Its great having technical people like u here
In the reset class i’m planning to change to kabb 2. My stats are con/int.
i was thinking going with:
cleric2> priest 3> chaplain > kabb 2
or
cleric2> krivis1> paladin3 > kabb 2
my concern about chaplain is the damage scaling late game, and my other concern about paladin is my int/con based build. What do you guys think is better?
Well, I dont rly see a problem.
Kabba doesnt have many damaging skills … and those that he has are pretty awesome when it comes to scaleing.
R7F …scales greatly…just doesnt use your stats.
Double Chance …scales as good as your atk…
Merkkabah… well, it deals damage…but with Kabba2 it becomes pretty much a defensive skill…
Ein Sof… scales greatly…its % based.
Edit: Please somebody correct me if I am talking sh!t
PvE wise Reflect seven is really big deal. Because of scaling you can expect Timerys mob that weak against holy will get 150k damage (300k damage for pets holy moly lol) reflected and if Linker can time that correctly the damage will spread to linked monsters…
Kabbalist 2 is really a full support build overall, you just got burst damage via reflect above… So either you just match it with other support classes or use Druid/Bokor for INT DPS, anything else seems a waste and you better make other DPS burst (PD, Inqus, Druid, Krivis 3 - Tao) to replace Kabbalist 1 and 2 for latest ranks…
As a full support…with no killing skills…Kabba 2 change seems impossible…

I just tested level 5 Clone.
You can only clone ONE calculated target 
But, you can change the clone with Oracle and it wont disappear… but u can not clone that changed clone again
If you can capture it in a video, i’d be good evidence for clone skill.
Hey, so with the rank reset Voucher. I’m thinking of resetting my current Kabbalist to get Cleric C2 for more healing. But now I have to decide whether to go:
Cleric C2> Krivis> Dievdirby C3> Kabbalist
or
Cleric C2> Dievdirby C3> Paladin> Kabbalist
or something completely different. Krivis gives me Daino and Zaibas while Paladin gives me Resist Elements (Maxed out Attribute) and Restoration
meh, take the second option.
Krivis c1, is awful to pick as a filler class. You can “always” buy daino scrolls in the market and used them in certain situation.
At least pally c1, you get turn undead, the best weapon to skill lv330 simple mooks and such. And…what you said.
Nah, he can be Cleric2 > Diev3 > Miko > Kabba.
Hi fellow Kabalists, I have never post on this topic but I have followed it since its creation. I am currently a cleric2-diev-3-oracle-Kabba2, I know that Kabbalist 2 is not the best R8 but personally I love it hehe.
I have been testing some things since the last update, in specific the attribute “Merkabah: Increase Magic Defense” and I noticed that it does not work with the Nuaele card (I have 4 Nuaele lv10) nor with the increase in percentage defense that was added in the last update. Usually the Nuale card lv10 give + 10% of M.Def, in my case being 4 give + 40%. My Merkabah Attribute: Increase Magic Defense is lv 10, so it increases by 100 my M.def. Using Merkabah with its attribute simply increases me 100 M. M.Def. Without taking into account the% of the Nuaele which following the logic should increase the M.Def in 140 points and not 100, and obviously is not affected by the increase of M.Def by rank, in this case being rank 8 should be 80% but in any case it is still 100 and not 180 and much less 220 if we take everything in conideracion, At the end i have only +100 M.Def. Without taking multipliers.
Anyone know if this is a bug or is it intentional?
Afaik buffs and attributes are not affected by multipliers, the same as equipment stats are not (mostly, except the Nuaele Card that multiplies equip mdef). They are flat additional increements added after the standard-calculation.
Pardoners Increase Magic Defence skill should also be unaffected by the defence-Rank-multipliers e.g.
Thank You very much 
Any kabba’s left?
Defence patch made r7f a lot weaker at PvE. Most mobs hit 1 now so reflected damage = 1 x 7 
How are kabba2’s doing? Any miko kabba2 here?
