Balance

Anyone know what balance formula these use?

Probably from Dex, since its the main factor of balance in both melee and ranged, and Int affects Magic Balance instead.

Unfortunately, neither Combat Mastery nor Ranged Attack's balance boost have any effect on Dual Guns. It won't bode well when we get the Zero update, which cripples our balance to 50% from dexterity; the only way to get past that is by the weapon's balance and enchants.

I believe it's Dexterity. It goes: ((Dexterity-10)/4 = +X%) + (Enchant Bonus) + (Skill Bonus for weapons and whatever...)

Here's what JP has to say: (Dex-10)/4[％]+武器・エンチャント補正

Unfortunately Dual Gun Mastery increases critical, not balance. So you can cross out skill bonus and replace it with weapon balance.

Before some adds it, I want to make sure if it's that same formula. I think JP is in Zero update. I, unfortunately, can't get on since my recent ban and all and getting around it is something I'm not fond of. I always keep getting reported for my stuff e-e I dunno if its because I have an awesome JP family, or people actually hate me for doing one shots/hardcore damage on elite mobs.

233 dex, 14 DG balance, character window says 78

133 dex, 14 dg balance, character window says 50

no enchant or title bonuses.

I think that's...additional balance on top of base.

crap I forgot about base balance at 0 dex...

Base balance isn't what's missing. When my DEX went up by 100, balance went up by 28, rather than the 25 we'd expect based on that formula. So, either the Dex part of balance formula for these is something like 7[dex-10]/25 (.28 bal per Dex instead of .25 like melee/bows), or another stat contributes.

193 dex, same DG 74 balance, so another stat must be involved.
