Damage vs Attack

[Elyseon]

I would like to know the difference between these, my guess is dmg is for skills and attack is for weapon, but idk

[Elyseon]

So no one knows?

Dev feedback maybe

[Coltona]

You probably have it right, it makes sense, but it can go a number of ways, just not be specific yet.
1. dmg is like dps and att is with each hit?
2. dmg is your skills, att is weapon?
3. they work together to make a range like dmg does in PL and SL?

It could work any of these ways really lol but I think your idea fits it.

[Whisper72]

Or attack is 'chance to hit' and damage is the amt of damage once a hit lands...

Defence could then work against attack, or absorb damage...

[Elyseon]

I dont think attack is hit% cuz im 20 w/ 140 attack lol kinda high

[ninjaduck]

Per 5 ATTACK, you get 1 damage

[Elyseon]

So dmg is like an attribute not an actual stat?

[Zel]

If attack is just a base stat that raises overall damage, does that mean your damage stat boosts non-weapon based damage ("blood magic" abilities) as equally as it does weapon-based abilities and regular attacks?

A linked question, why do weapons give a bonus to Damage that is just below the weapon damage listed on the weapon?

EDIT: It can't be 1 damage per 5 attack, equipping Sanguine Shard of Aggression (12 attack, 5 health) from a state of no equipped blood gem nets only +1 damage.

I know it confuses me too...

[vampinoy]

Just a guess, I think damage have a direct effect on your normal attack (including charged) only, while attack has direct effect on both skill and normal damage (including charged). Both stat affects damage, it's very important to mix and match shards to probably balance out your damage, attack, defense, and HP.

[Elyseon]

I think damage is weapon based actaully, cuz on they are like the first stat on weapons like in PL or SL

[FluffNStuff]

So far I have it being about 10 attack to 1 damage. Damage increases skills also. I am still not sure if there is any benefit to attack.

Attack increases critical hit chance, a little bit of damage and give a slight bonus to your hit points.

Damage is a straight increase in damage per second.

Any way we could get the exact numbers for crit chance, hp, and damage? And also how Attack/Damage effects Skill Damage.

[Swede]

Same thing for your Powers, Attack increases their crit chance and damage slightly, Damage increases their damage a lot.

Just a bump for all who still ask this!
