CLASS MODIFIER

There are 3 basic Class Modifier;

Assassin Attack %
Warrior Attack %
Magician Attack %

Class Modifier affects how much Attack your character will have in Total Attack (Displayed Attack or Magic Attack).

Calculations is as follow:

*Total Base Attack Stats = Base Stats from sum of two weapon (Dual Wield) or one weapon with Two-Handed

*Total Bonus Attack Stats = From Weapon(s), Armors and Accessories Bonus Stats

[Total Base Attack Stats + Total Bonus Stats] + ([Total Base Stats + Total Bonus Stats]*Class Attack %) = Total Attack (Displayed Attack)

Example in Values:
(500 + 55 ) + (550+55)*101% = 1115.55 (Displayed Attack)

Note: Each class modifier works the same way for all available classes.
