Mechanics

Mercenary Skill Rank

A mercenary uses this skill at a rank set by your level and total veteran points. See Mercenary Skill Ranks.

Level contribution: Your level ÷ 5, rounded down
Veteran contribution: Total veteran points ÷ 10, rounded down
Skill rank: Level contribution + Veteran contribution, at most the skill's maximum rank

Total veteran points (Veteran Level) are your unspent veteran points plus your learned veteran skill ranks. The character window shows them as the VT number beside your level, as in "Level 50 (VT 20)". Use 0 if no VT number appears.

Example ,Level 50,20 total veteran points,maximum rank 30

Skill rank 12

Level contribution: 50 ÷ 5 = 10, rounded down

Veteran contribution: 20 ÷ 10 = 2, rounded down

Skill rank: 10 + 2 = 12

Debuff Scaling

Wizard mercenary

Skill Damage per second: 15 at rank 1, +15 per rank (450 at rank 30)
Intelligence damage: Intelligence × 125%,
Damage per second: Skill Damage per second + Intelligence damage

Example ,rank 12,the mercenary's 100 Intelligence

305 damage per second before the target's defenses

Skill Damage per second: 15 + 15 × (12 − 1) = 180

Intelligence damage: 100 × 125% = 125,

Damage per second: 180 + 125 = 305

Rounded means to the nearest whole number. Exact halves go to the even number, so 2.5 becomes 2.

Resist Chance

Each point of the target's Magic Resist adds 0.05% to its chance to resist this debuff. Each 1% of the caster's Accuracy subtracts 1% from that chance. Each level the target is above the caster adds 0.5%, and each level below subtracts 0.5%, up to 10% either way. The chance stays between 0% and 90%. See resistance and avoidance.

The target's Magic Resist reduces each damage tick by 0.05% per point, up to 90%. See damage-over-time calculations.

Immune to Debuffs does not stop this debuff.
