I just decided to check how much damage my warrior can do with the various attribut points and stuff.

I'm not sure if anything like this was posted here yet, but just wanted to show this to everyone.

:::TEST CONDITIONS:::

- Killing Rockshot Devouers in Crystal Desert
- Level 20 Warrior / Monk
- Maximum Damage AXE with +35% damage

( All tests were done with 5 trials, except for the first 2 )

00 Axe Mastery
00 Strength
==> 2-4 damage

06 Axe Mastery
00 Strength
==> 3-6 damage

12 Axe Mastery
00 Strength
==> ~24 damage with 17% Critical Rate
==> Max Critical is 42

14 Axe Mastery
00 Strength
==> ~27 damage with 25% Critical Rate
==> Max Critical is 46

14 Axe Mastery
12 Strength
==> ~29 damage with 27% Critical Rate
==> Max Critical is 49

14 Axe Mastery
12 Strength
+20% Penetration (Judge's Insight)
==> ~36 damage with 36% Critical Rate
==> Max Critical is 63


...Well...this is all I have so far. If any of you wish to continue my research by checking for 15 or 16 attribute points...please feel free to add them below!

I was under the impression the armour penetration from Strength applied only to attack skills (Cyclone Axe et al).

Well, that's what I got as my result...so maybe there's something in the damage formula when you have every +10 armor penetrate, you do a little more damage?

I know...the +12% armor penetrade doesn't match up with the previous damage results...that's why I too was a little puzzled here...

Oh well, at least you get about +2 more damage with +10 or +12 Strength.

I haven't tested using skills, but I'm guessing the damage WOULD go up +12% armor penetrate amount.

Just Imagine getting an Assassin with Judge's Insight...
Considering he/she has faster attack rating than the warrior, you can pack quite a punch on average damage in a short period of time.
