the formula's for figuring out WS dmg in this game are *extremely* in depth. (note: this is taken from the GameOver LS forums)

I stumbled across this page here a few days ago and was intrigued by how unnecessarily complicated weapon skill damage is calculated -_-; According to this page, there are two factors in determining the final damage of your final ws dmg:
Constant damage: affected by the weapon's D value, the difference between your STR and the enemy's VIT, # of hits in the WS, and the WS's multiplier for the amount of TP you have
Variable damage: affected by your stats and level
- Each weapon skill has a different multiplier that is applied to the constant damage value. The multiplier for some weapon skills also has different levels at TP100, TP200, and TP300. For example, Savage blade has a multiplier of 1.00 at TP100, 1.75 at TP200, and 3.50 and TP300, while Vorpal blade has a multiplier of 1.00 regardless of TP.
- Each weapon skill is variably dependent on different stats when its variable damage is calculated. For example, sidewinder is based on 16% of STR and 25% of AGI. Spin Slash is based on 30% of STR and 30% of INT.
I decided not to attempt to translate the formulas and the many variables that are used within the formulas because there is a lack of detailed definitions for some of the variables and I failed to see the logic in some of the formulas. As a result, any further explanation will be rather pointless. However, I'm posting the stats that affect some of the more popular WS's for those who might be interested.
