The damage..

Okay.. Starting another subject for this because the talks of 50k just seem moronic to me.. (no offense to anyone) and just by living it out, has obviously been disproved. The fact that the equation is left up on there as something incorrect is all that bothers me.. now then~

"Base Damage * [1 + 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)]" It really, Really looks like to me that there was a simple error made when typing this out, if you change the first multiplication and addition signs to opposite spots you get.. "Base Damage + [1 * 3*(Alchemy Mastery Bonus + Fire Alchemy Bonus)]"

Assuming all rank 1's, Base damage(max) 1175 + (overall 25% from rank 1 Alchemy Mastery and Fire Alchemy, multiplied by 3~ equaling to 75%) So it becomes roughly 2056 base damage with all these skills at rank 1. Sounds at least, more accurate, right? That still of course, leaves room for the enchants (which must have a larger multiplier when applied to this skill than they imply) to further increase the damage.

Maybe it's something people look at and figure out for themselves since 50k damage potential is just far fetched, but I dunno~ the fact that it was left up there improperly always bothered me.

I could also be going about it all wrong as it is, though~ so I won't change anything.. I would like some input on this, though~ because it's bothered me for quite some time. x3

Oh and as a side note, if it is confirmed that the skill ignores protection when calculating critical, I really think someone should add it to the page. x3 I don't know for sure myself, so I'm not gonna do that. O:

That damage looks about right. I'm not sure since i don't have all those skills at rank 1 though. As for critical, I am of the belief that it does not ignore protection for critical rate. I've had yet to critical on high protection shadow mobs.

Oh, okay. O: I read just above there that someone figured it did ignore the protection~ Good to know it looks like I'm on the right path with the damage, though. :3 Thanks for telling me. x3
