Mechanics

Skill Damage

Rogue

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
Combined damage
Attack Power − Off-hand deduction
Damage %
1 000%
Damage before defenses
Combined damage × Damage %,

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

1 840 damage before the target's defenses

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

Combined damage: 200 − 16 = 184

Damage before defenses: 184 × 1 000% = 1 840,

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

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.

You can use this skill only when the target has 25% Hit Points or less.
