attack and defense basics

[camelotcrusade]

Sometimes I am not sure exactly how much that extra point of defense or attack is worth, so I decided to look up the attack vs. defense mechanics for a refresher.

What I found was that each point of attack exceeding defense gives you a 3.3% damage bonus. If it's the other way around (defense exceeds attack), then it is a 3.3% damage penalty.

There is a cap of 200% bonus (i.e., triple damage or 1/3 damage) on either side (or a 60 point difference for triple damage, a 30 point different for double damage, and so on).

I'm assuming it still works like this... anybody know for sure?

PS - that only covers attack vs. defense. The actual damage you'll do still has to consider resistance and whether you have other bonuses or penalties going on.
