Hi guys, I thought I'd pop in and share a few data points from my HP cleric. Only level 35, and only has level 14 heal (ie 140%), but I think the data points are worthwhile given the abnormal nature of the source.
Basically, I pumped pure HP from 1~30. At 30, I had it confirmed for myself that HP meant NOTHING, but I kept going with the project with a plan to leach experience using snail throwing. Well, long story short, that dream was killed when they made snail shell throwing require some sort of accuracy.
Using my Maple Staff, I had:
max hit: 42
min hit: 2
magic: 123
int: 66+2
luk: 4
Using a 0 magic weapon:
max hit: 19
min hit: 1
magic: 73
int: 66+2
luk: 4
Also notice: I still miss quite a bit due to my low magic accuracy (see: low int stat), even though I tested on Zombie Mushrooms and that's the lowest undead thing. This may account for an outlier min hit, such as the min of 2 when I was using my full magic gear, because if I recall, along with missing, sometimes hits will come off as UNBEARABLY weak.
So, guys, does that break this formula too? A quick test for me tells me that my max/min with Maple Staff should be 16~59, and it should be 9~35 with my second set of stats posted. Am I wrong?
EDIT: By the way, don't be heartbroken if this proves your formula isn't 100% accurate. None of the formulae are. Being very accurate for normal builds is good enough, really.
