Runes of Magic US / AU

Everything that I have noticed as a scout points to a 1:1 ratio for str/dex to physical attack. I think it would be best to list conversion per class. Also we need to figure out a damage to physical/magical attack ratio. Probably a dps calculation.

1.5 Physical damage per 1 point of strength for knights, and a friend tells me its 1.33 physical damage per 1 point of strength for rogues

Anyone know how much Weapon Skill has to do with +hit, damage and such ? Alot of classes cannot use or have a lower cap than their Primary class weapons . Example , my 26 P/W has a max of 60 Weapon skill in Staff , but his 1 Handed axes max skill is 35 . Does that 25 weapon skill make up for having a less DPS weapon ?

ALL those INFORMATION NEET BE IN_GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I

I cant belive the caracter window is so rubish

Hey nemecis, I wanted to provide some of my findings on the Dex stat vs. Physical Attack relation:

Background:
The class I tested this on was Rogue/Mage. Did testing when I was Rogue(47)/Mage(23). I arranged items on my Rogue, so that my DEX and Physical Attack values could be easily modified and controlled and did my best to eliminate any confounding variables in the experiments.

~Test 1:~
Procedure-
1) Initial Dexterity: 527 | Initial Physical Attack (PA): 1387
2) Added a +13 DEX Accessory

Changes:
DEX increased from 527 to 540 (+ 13 DEX)
Physical Attack increased from 1387 to 1403 (+ 16 Physical Attack)

Calculations:
Change in Physical Attack (PA)/Change in Dexterity: 16/13= 1.230769230769230... PA per point of DEX


~Test 2:~
Procedure-
1) Initial Physical Attack (PA): 1405
2) Added a +22 DEX Accessory

Changes:
DEX increased by 22 points
Physical Attack increased from 1405 to 1434 (+ 29 Physical Attack)

Calculations:
Change in Physical Attack (PA)/Change in Dexterity:
29/22= 1.3181818181818... PA per point of DEX.

Uh oh, a discrepancy of ratios? Which one is the true value?

1.3181818181818...PA/DEX vs. 1.230769230769230... PA/DEX

Let's find out with another test:
Comparison of Ratios: Which one is the true one?

Summary of Comparison: Started with an initial Physical Attack value, Made a prediction of the new Physical Attack value once DEX would be added based on the two determined ratios. Added a DEX enhancing weapon and took note of true/actual new Physical Attack and then compared to the predicted Physical Attack values to determine which was more likely the true ratio.

~Test 3:~
Procedure-
-Initial Physical Attack: 1418
-Added: +10 DEX weapon

Calculations:
If PA/DEX ratio was 1.230769230769...
-Predicted new Physical Attack (PA) based on ratio 1.230769230769...PA/DEX :
(1.230769230769... x 10 DEX) + 1418 PA = 1430.307692307

If PA/DEX ratio was 1.318181818...
-Predicted new PA based on ratio 1.318181818...PA/DEX:
(1.318181818... x 10 DEX) + 1418 PA =1431.18181818...

Actual new Physical Attack?: 1431 PA

Conclusion: The PA/DEX ratio of 1.318181818...PA/DEX seems to be more accurate. This ratio was found when adding 10 DEX and adding 22 DEX.

I'd like more confirmation if any Rogues could. Remember to try to control for as many variables as possible! :p

im fairly certain dex gives a +Pa boost for rogues

Any news on anyone knowing the resistance:...mitigation I guess? Either that or the amount of damage it negates I suppose. Not really sure how to word it....1 resistance:amount of damage mitigated?

Quoted from "nemecis;29041"

Mattack:
how does this work? does it increase magic skill damage? if so by what factor? if not ... wtf? are magic melee skills impacted by this stat?

I'm a priest/scout, and one of my elite skills currently boosts the party's Magic Attack by 452. Testing it out on some Wild Berhu, my unmodified Rising Tide does ~800 damage to them; the +452 MAttack buff changes that to ~1220.

I don't have any melee magic skills to test . . . if anyone's interested in trying it out, whisper Addie on the only US PvP server, Grimdal.

Hope this helps.

it looks like magic attack is a multiplier with mdef and magic skills do something like:

(skill+mdam)*matk/mdef * other factors (perhaps skill %)

so matk usually is more of a boost than mdam.

Does anyone know the conversion for Critical Points to actual Critical Percentage?

I can't decided whether or not the Scout primary, Eagle Eyes, is worth upgrading or not. I know for sure that the ratio is not 1:1.

i think is sort of 10:1 i get like 16% crit on my mage when i use my 150+ crit skill
