Attack Power is the value in your character window.

Enter Base Damage from the weapon's tooltip.

Off-hand deduction
Off-hand weapon's Base Damage × 50%, rounded up
Skill damage
30 at rank 1, +30 per rank (150 at rank 5)
Damage before defenses
Attack Power + Skill damage − Off-hand deduction

Example ,rank 5,200 Attack Power,31 off-hand weapon Base Damage

334 damage before the target's defenses

Off-hand deduction: 31 × 50% = 16, rounded up

Skill damage: 30 + 30 × (5 − 1) = 150

Damage before defenses: 200 + 150 − 16 = 334

The target's Armor Class reduces this damage by 0.05% per point, up to 90%. Physical hits can also be blocked or missed. See resistance and avoidance, the damage steps and moving targets and backstabs.
