I'm not really feeling the math for magic damage calculations, however looking at the formula we have you can tell that every point of Divine Magic is roughly 1% more damage. For example, if you merited out Divine Magic that would mean you'd get about 16% more damage for your Divine Emblem nuke.

While that statement is technically true, it is a bit misleading. One skill will not add 1% to their current DE nuke damage, but 1% of their normal (non-DE) nuke damage. So if you have 400 Divine Magic skill on PLD, 16 more will only increase the total damage by 4% compared to an unmerited nuke.

Each MAB, on the other hand, will add roughly add 1% of your current DE damage to your nuke (assuming a MDB neutral mob and 0 native MAB). It's a simple matter of diminishing returns, which are quite high if you consider that your base is already at 400 (PLD's Divine skill caps at 404). So the approximation of 1% damage per 4 Skill is accurate enough for these calculations, or to dumb it down further: 4 Skill = 1 MAB.

Yeah, I think I probably should have explained a bit better, considering Divine Emblem nukes do like 400% damage, which isn't really out of 100. On top of that I didn't consider that the Magic Attack Bonus is being multiplied which would lead to your numbers. Of course it is still a rule of thumb type observation so mileage will still vary, but I think that would be correct in most situations.
