New Formulas Simplified

Yeah, I figured about the same, but I didn't calculate all the values.
I only compared NLs to Sairs, seeing as NLs got the 2.0 multiplier, but had a 5x multiplier before, and Sairs went from 3.6 to 4, and got a pretty good 1.6 multiplier.
Most of the others either saw a decrease in the primary stat multiplier or had a low-ish overall multiplier, so I didn't even bother with those.

What are you on about?

I think you mean:

Night Lords now have a
2.00*(4 * LUK + DEX) * (Weapon Attack / 100)
or (8 * LUK + 2 * DEX) * (Weapon Attack / 100)
from
(5 * LUK) * (Weapon Attack /100)

and Corsairs now have a
1.60*(4 * DEX + STR) * (Weapon Attack / 100)
or (6.4 * DEX + 1.6 * STR) * (Weapon Attack /100)
from
(3.6 * DEX + 0.9 * STR) * (Weapon Attack/100)

I don't understand what you mean about how 'most other classes got a decrease in the primary stat multiplier or had a low-ish overall multiplier'.

All classes now have an overall higher damage range now and it's shallow to only compare a couple of weapons without seeing the big picture: i.e new skill damage values, completely changed mob values.

I just see Claws, Guns and Knuckles being higher in the damage tier post-patch as opposed to now.

It's not hard to compare formulas now from before. Just multiply your Primary stat by 4 and multiply your Primary and Secondary stats by your class's new multiplier(x) or insert in into the format:

(4*x*primary + x*secondary) * (Weapon Attack / 100)


then compare with:

(x*primary + 0.9*secondary) * (Weapon Attack /100)

Just make 'x' in this case your old weapon multiplier
