Combat: damage, defense and critical hits

Health and mana

$\mathrm{HP} = \left(100 + 10\,(\mathrm{VIT}-5) + \mathrm{gear}\right) \times (1 + \mathrm{bonuses})$

$\mathrm{Mana} = \left(100 + 3\,(\mathrm{INT}-5) + (\mathrm{SPI}-5)\right) \times (1 + \mathrm{bonuses})$

VIT, INT and SPI are your Vitality, Intelligence and Spirit. Out of a fight you regenerate 3% of your max HP per second, starting 5 seconds after the last hit (plus 0.0075% per point of Vitality).

Basic attack

$\mathrm{Damage} = \left(12 + 1.2\,(\mathrm{STR}-5) + \mathrm{weapon}\right) \times \mathrm{style} \times \mathrm{combo}$

The combo multiplier is ×1, ×1.1 then ×1.6 on the third hit. Each weapon style has its own multiplier:

The time between attacks is $\max\!\left(0.22,\ \tfrac{0.45}{1 + 0.01\,(\mathrm{AGI}-5)}\right)$ seconds times the style's own interval.

Critical hits

Chance = $\min(50\%,\ 5\% + 0.3\%\,(\mathrm{PER}-5) + \mathrm{gear})$. A critical hit deals ×1.75 damage (plus critical damage bonuses).

Skills

A skill deals its percentage of your physical power (Strength + weapon) or magic power (Intelligence + weapon), times the multipliers of your class, tree and buffs, then a critical roll. Each skill level past the first adds +15% power and −5% cooldown.

Cooldown reduction: $\min(45\%,\ 0.2\%\,(\mathrm{INT}-5) + \mathrm{bonuses})$.

Defense and evasion

$\mathrm{Reduction} = \min\!\left(70\%,\ \tfrac{\mathrm{DEF}}{\mathrm{DEF}+200} + \mathrm{armor} + \mathrm{bonuses}\right)$

• Reduction caps at 70% (Tank 65%, Berserker 62%).
• Evasion = $0.15\%\,(\mathrm{AGI}-5)$ + bonuses, 60% at most (Survivor 52%).

PvP

A hit on another awakened deals 50% of its damage, and never more than 30% of the victim's max HP in one hit.

• Balance between awakened (only in PvP): the gap between a strong and a weak awakened is narrowed (power = square root of offense × toughness).
• PvP caps: evasion 40%, damage reduction 50%, life steal ×0.5, critical damage ×0.75.
• Protection: an awakened 3 ranks or more below you cannot be hit unless he struck you first (30 s), and his kill counts on no record.
• Fair duel: a duel can be asked as fair: both fight as strong as their average, each with his own class.
