So, because you are all very knowledgeable in this thread, I have a few questions myself about these calculation mysteries XD
If a Wizard type has items with +Phys Attack, wut do? Items such as Black Staff and Red Gem grant this additional Phys Attack but (although I haven’t looked deeply) I was under the impression that Wizards always deal Matk instead of Phys based damage. Does the +Patk find a home for skill damage calculations as a Wizard as, say, additional physical element type attack (if there is even such a thing lel), is the +Patk converted to +Matk somehow during the equation, or is the damage only applied to a staff’s secondary attack, offhand melee attacks, or other melee equipment types? i.e. the +Patk would only be applied as additional physical damage to already physical based attacks unlike +elemental damage that is applied to all types of damage regardless of element.
In short I want to stack high level red gems in an arde as a wizard without having to risk them not doing anything at all but I’m too broke to adequately run the tests as I’m already caught up in a few other tests involving Amulets.
Speaking of… what tier would amulets fit into? I’m sure later there will be more than just cube etc that can impact damages so it would be nice to know as well how their benefits are applied into the formula. Especially when later the number of amulets in the game is increased and crazy possibilities start popping up.
Thanks mates!
