Enter Base Damage from the weapon's tooltip.

Off-hand deduction
Off-hand weapon's Base Damage × 50%, rounded up
Skill damage

Damage before defenses
Attack Power + Skill damage − Off-hand deduction

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

185 damage before the target's defenses

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

Damage before defenses: 200 + 1 − 16 = 185

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.

With Master Poisoner active, a Rogue's auto attack adds 250% of Dexterity above 0, rounded, and deals Poison damage against Poison Resist.

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