Skill to % chance?

[Kika Maslyaka]

Does anyone knows an aproximate formula how does my skill in Double Attack and Dual Wield translate into actual chance to hit?

So I have DW skill at 100 - what is the actual chance?
150? 200?
DA of a 100?
DA on off hand?

thanks!

That's a very good question [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The closest I could find is the last post here, not sure how true it is though.

PHP Code:

bool Client::CheckDoubleAttack(bool tripleAttack) {

    // If you don't have the double attack skill, return
    if(!HasSkill(DOUBLE_ATTACK) && !(GetClass() == BARD || GetClass() == BEASTLORD))
        return false;
    
    // You start with no chance of double attacking
    int chance = 0;
    
    // Used for maxSkill and triple attack calcs
    int8 classtype = GetClass();
    
    // The current skill level
    uint16 skill = GetSkill(DOUBLE_ATTACK);

    // Discipline bonuses give you 100% chance to double attack
    sint16 buffs = spellbonuses.DoubleAttackChance + itembonuses.DoubleAttackChance;
    
    // The maximum value for the Class based on the server rule of MaxLevel
    int16 maxSkill = MaxSkill(DOUBLE_ATTACK, classtype, RuleI(Character, MaxLevel));

    // AA bonuses for the melee classes
    int32 aaBonus =
        GetAA(aaBestialFrenzy) +
        GetAA(aaHarmoniousAttack) +
        GetAA(aaKnightsAdvantage)*10 +
        GetAA(aaFerocity)*10;
    
    // Bard Dance of Blades Double Attack bonus is not cumulative
    if(GetAA(aaDanceofBlades)) {
        aaBonus += 500;
    }
    
    // Half of Double Attack Skill used to check chance for Triple Attack
    if(tripleAttack) {
        // Only some Double Attack classes get Triple Attack
        if((classtype == MONK) || (classtype == WARRIOR) || (classtype == RANGER) || (classtype == BERSERKER)) {
            // We only get half the skill, but should get all the bonuses
            chance = (skill/2) + buffs + aaBonus;
        }
        else {
            return false;
        }
    }
    else {
        // This is the actual Double Attack chance
        chance = skill + buffs + aaBonus;
    }
    
    // If your chance is greater than the RNG you are successful! Always have a 5% chance to fail at max skills+bonuses.
    if(chance > MakeRandomInt(0, (maxSkill + itembonuses.DoubleAttackChance + aaBonus)*1.05)) {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

Ok, to complite the calculations then, I need to know what is the maxskill?
is that per class or universal for all?

[Extunarian]

If the public emu snippied naez posted hasn't been changed for this server, it looks like the calculation is simply

% chance to double attack = (your skill) / [(max skill for your class at max level)*1.05]

right?

[Kika Maslyaka]

yeah but we need to know where maxskill comes from and what its set for

[naez]

Can't recall the max skill for level 60, and dual wield is more complicated to find the calculation for (i.e. can only find HAND==14 (secondary) in attack.cpp and I don't have Visual Studio installed, +lazy)

The code says it's the max your class can get to given the server's max level:

    // The maximum value for the Class based on the server rule of MaxLevel
    int16 maxSkill = MaxSkill(DOUBLE_ATTACK, classtype, RuleI(Character, MaxLevel));

Doesn't really make sense to me though...if it went by your class' max skill then classes with a lower maximum skill would be at an advantage until it was maxed out, and then they would just have the same 95% chance as those with a higher max skill...

[Kika Maslyaka]

yeah exactly. would be no point for say warrior to have higher skill than a ranger

maxskill must be universal for all classes, or it doesn't make sence
