The current battle system mainly calculate everything from Your Rank vs Mob Rank

[Physic]

Wait, wait, so you're saying that if everything else is kept constant except for rank difference, that it doesn't mean that "rank is the determining factor"????

Yes it does.


Gaining a rank is so much more significant to your dmg and accuracy and defense than getting new gear or gaining physical levels. It marginalizes gear way too much.

This may be a valid point, but i would like some real values, as in what relationship you are saying it has, ie level gives you +15 damage weapon gives you 2, or better yet, an equation.

because on mobs my level i saw a 100% increase in damage per swing going from 20 to 120 attack with my weapon, versus a monster 16 levels higher than me i also saw a 100% increase in effectiveness. While im not sugegesting 100 attack will double your effectiveness in every case, I am saying that the weapon was a very noticeable boost to my damage. in fights in the range of -4 to +16 dlevel. and even in the 20-30 range versus strong mob types i saw a large % increase in damage.
this is just attack im looking at.

if you want your gear to be effective, it looks like it is. I have noticed gladiators taking way less damage than my pug, even at the same levels, why is this so, if gear has little effect?
