Using Mathematical Expressions for Skill Pages

Hey Bah Wikier, welcome back. I've noticed that you've been updating quite a few of the F. Priest (Shaman) skill pages recently.

Just so you know, you don't have to put all the values on one page. Inputting all the values on a page can be painstakingly mind-numbing, and becomes cumbersome when the Neople team adds a balance patch. You can use a mathematical expression instead; it will save you a lot time and prevent frustration later.

For reference, you can look at the Agent Skill Pages.

Out of curiosity, where did those formulas come from? Are they estimations made by players?

Kinda. The formulas can be found manually in game with a little bit of mathematics.

For most percentage values it goes as follows:

For all values of n >= 1 (with n being the current skill's level):

Base Level 1 Percentage Value + Per Level Multiplier*(n-1)%

For Fixed Damage attacks it works pretty much the same way, just requires a lot more code...

For a more precise estimation for the Per Level Multiplier, I usually use the highest possible values and use a little algebra to solve for the multiplier.
