Is the Damage output = Bonus dmg(%) multiplied by Dmg value???

Thanks for reply...

Please reply.. if anyone from STS know or any player knows....

Bonus DMG% is a mystery stat.

There are many theories on it's use in damage calculation, but, as far as I am aware, there is no Dev statement on the subject.

How can that be?.. DEVs must know about it...

The devs do know, they're just not telling, I assume its a pointless stat (like dps). I focus on maxing my damage stat.

[Linkincena]

No no... don't ignore this stat...
it helps decide in respecing the character... very important...
If it works like as i said in subject .. it cannot be ignored...

CosmoxKramer has the best theory on what the Bonus DMG% used for:

What was your INT and Bonus Dam% through your whole DEX test. When I test it, if I have equip gear to 200 INT for a 200% Bonus Dam%. Have 153.1 Damage in this set up and have 138 points to spend in Dex plus 20 passive Dex (4 points so i get an even numer of Dex) for a total of 158. At .05 Damage per Dex * 200% bonus damage * 158
My Damage is now 168.9 (15.8 increase)
0.05*200%*158=15.8

So Dex gives exactly 0.05 damage per point as a base, multiply that by you BonusDam%

Damage = your average damage per swing on a mob without armor reduction
BonusDam% is built into your Damage

Check out some of his posts, he backs up his theories with plenty of evidence (in the form of Google Doc spreadsheets), so this is the leading theory. Like wvhills said, the Devs have not commented on the subject, so all we have are theories.

Dmg base * dmg bonus = dmg

Dmg output = ( skill dmg /or/ dmg when normall auto attack) * ( 100 + pet dmg bonus + passiv dmg bonus )/100 * ( 100- damage reduction)/100 / 2^(lvl difference /5)

Damage reduction = defense * 0,047 + dmg reduction from pets and skills

More or less, i'm not dev :-P

Dmg base * dmg bonus = dmg

Dmg output = ( skill dmg /or/ dmg when normall auto attack) * ( 100 + pet dmg bonus + passiv dmg bonus )/100 * ( 100- damage reduction)/100 / 2^(lvl difference /5)

Damage reduction = defense * 0,047 + dmg reduction from pets and skills

More or less, i'm not dev :-P

Interesting. You are right on the damage shown including the bonus damage, and the percents. What I am really curious about is that level difference part you have in there. May I ask where you got that from? I assume it is from testing, would you share your method and results? An exponential level difference component which would flip the damage reduction to a magnification would make sense.

Wow, that's so surprising that devs won't answer a technical question about in-depth stats! *sarcasm*

Pets tests.
Similar dmg, different lvls.
Elite forest, first mob, checking of max non crit dmg.
I wanted test some time ago, why lov lvl pets make 0 dmg. Same reason is for warnings when u go to high lvls areas like kraken or nordr. With 21 lvl it was very hard, even for normal maps with the best gear.
Well i'm not sure of 100% accuracy of this equalation, but its fine enought for me :-)
