What means skill factor?

Help Center
#1

Straight-foward as that. How does the skill factor of skills apply on the damage? The damage guides are too complicated and I just want to know that

#2

Simplified, damage is attack / defense. After we have figured out the base damage were doing, it is multiplied by the sfr, so if someones def is reducing your damage by 40%, it will always be reduced by 40% no matter the sfr.

After sfr is applied we add most damage modifiers together and multiply again.

Thats just roughly speaking though.

Cool, I get it!

So if Zucken’s sfr is 213, and my PATK is 14500, I should hit 30855?

#4

Yeah if we ignore defense it should be something like that i think.

Another thing that you can count is. Damage amplifiers add up (+) while damage Reductions multiply(*).
As a example, You have 30% and 50% damage boost, it will be 80% boost at the end, While if you have 30% and 50% damage reduction it will become 65% reduction at the end ([1-0,3] * [1-0,5]).

Unfortunately it’s only the case if you hit something with 0 PDEF. The sfr only applies to the result of your PATK minored by the PDEF factor of the mob you hit. For example, if you hit something with enough PDEF to reduce your attack to 10000 from 14500, your skill with 213 sfr will do 21300 damage instead of 30855.

My head hurt…

Okay so is it good to stack pdef for pve

Especially with upcoming? leather set buff +%dmg

Plate for pdef or juat go leather for dps because no matter how much we stack pdef it wont significantly matter…? Tia

Consider that every time you double your Pdef or Mdef you will take half the damage.

#9

Isn’t the function logarithmic? In that case each time you double your defense you take log2 less damage, which is roughly 30%.

#10

Almost sure the reduction applied by Pdef/Mdef is something like this:

Damage reduction = ( A / Pdef ) ^ B

where A and B are constants that imc defined.
I can be wrong whatsoever because they never specified how this thing works really. Maybe they changed something on rebuild, maybe not. Maybe your character level influence the damage you take, maybe not. Who knows?
