== Dexterity Multiplier ==

Seems to me the Dex part in the "Attack Modifier" should be augmented (Dex-1)/150.  Thus far my observation is based only on the character sheet but using this I get an exact match, not just close.  Anyone care to check this?

As an aside: I'm just getting into PW theory, so this is my Hello I guess.  Hopefully this is still active and people discuss it.  Alethea  -- [[User:Bluedragon06|Bluedragon06]] 23:29, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
:I just tested this now.  My base damage is 15059 - 20400 with 481 dex and 75% demon mastery.  Demon sparked I am 30239 - 40965, so +500% weapon attack is 15180 - 20565.  Dividing by 5 my weapon attack is 3036 - 4113.<br>
:(1 + 481/150 + .75) * 3036 = 15048<br>
:(1 + 481/150 + .75) * 4113 = 20387<br>
:After playing around with my gear it seems the 481/150 term is rounded to 2 decimals, so 481/150 = 3.20666 = 3.21<br>
:(1 + 3.21 + .75) * 3036 = 15059<br>
:(1 + 3.21 + .75) * 4113 = 20400<br>
:You only see this rounding if your dex is not divisible by 3.   Heh interestingly the first way I saw this formula was more correct since it said  ((2*Dex)/3) / 100.  I'll make a note of the rounding thanks for bringing it up. --[[User:Asterelle|Asterelle]] 07:53, 25 August 2011 (PDT)

::Gaining a level I was able to test this further and I definitely agree with the 2 digit rounding.  And naturally you won't notice it when the number is divisible by 3 since it will be exact. --[[User:Bluedragon06|Bluedragon06]] 01:59, 1 September 2011 (PDT)
