PVP absolute damage

PvP Channel as in the Practice Arena or Arena? Either way, PvP has different skill growths compared to regular PvE content. PvP also has a built-in balance system that changes your stats to make it more fair against lesser geared players. This may explain why your Independent Attack is somewhat different.

In addition, for some reason, for PvP skill growths only, there isn't a consistent growth scalar multiplier for Independent Attack based skills. So if you're trying to collect PvP data in the PvP channel for Fixed class, don't. Also, remember, if you're attempting to gather PvE data from the PvP channel, make sure to switch Skill Info type with the F7 key.

At this point, it may be less strenuous to just use data from the regular channels/ in town.

It's a discussion we had on the Wiki a long time ago. We discovered that the game has some kind of algorithm that changes the scalar multiplier values for fixed damage PvP skill growths in PvP Arena.

For example:  Holy Flash Lv41 Arena values:

• Test 1:
  • IndependentAttack = 1822
  • Fixed Damage= 2840
  • Scalar multiplier =
    Absolute Damage Ratio, it is multiplied by your Independent Attack Power before being shown in the game tooltips
    1.56
    max-width:200px 100
• Test 2:
  • IndependentAttack = 2004
  • Fixed Damage= 3215
  • Scalar multiplier =
    Absolute Damage Ratio, it is multiplied by your Independent Attack Power before being shown in the game tooltips
    1.6
    max-width:200px 100
• Test 3:
  • IndependentAttack = 3067
  • Fixed Damage= 5405
  • Scalar multiplier =
    Absolute Damage Ratio, it is multiplied by your Independent Attack Power before being shown in the game tooltips
    1.76
    max-width:200px 100
• Test 4:
  • IndependentAttack = 3133
  • Fixed Damage= 5541
  • Scalar multiplier =
    Absolute Damage Ratio, it is multiplied by your Independent Attack Power before being shown in the game tooltips
    1.77
    max-width:200px 100

As you can see the scalar multiplier is inconsistent, when it supposed to be the same for all 4 tests. Because of this reason, we could not find a consensus to agree upon on which was the correct value, so we decided to omit PvP Fixed Damage data entirely until we found out what this algorithm was. Sadly, we still have not found the solution... Percent skill values on the other hand, don't have this issue.

Oh, I understand now. Thanks for the explanation.
