Just curious, I saw a barb on HL today that had multiple Jade of steady defense socketed on their armors, this gives +2 defense level. So is there a way to create a gem with +2 attack level? The barb in question has over 20 defense level from gems, to equal that in attack level would basically mean I have to socket my entire gears with diamond of tigers b:shocked

And seriously I used to wonder wtf he meant when he pm'ed me "Just wait I will have the better defense on all of Harshlands", now I know o.o

    You receive 1% less dmg from every attack
    With attack lvl u deal 1% more dmg

    In pvp, if u have 10 attck lvl and your target has 10 def lvl then u deal normal dmg, they cancel out each other

    It reduces the dmg you take by 1% per defense level

    and attack levels work the same it adds 1% extra attack

    Burnout you talking about Speedyy? Hes got like +24 defense lvl lolz, epic effort.

    The +2 Defense lvl shards can be made from combining 3 +1 attack lvl shards at any jewelcraftsman, I wish id made some when diamond's were being practically thrown away QQ b:cry

    It's also almost as effective as stacking +10 vit stones, just much less expensive.

    And yes, wish I had bought more diamond of dragons when they were cheaper. :<
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    That's not true, they won't cancel each other out.

    For example, let's say you'd normally deal 1000 damage to Player X. Now, if you get +10 attack levels and Player X gets +10 defense levels, then you will do 1000 + (1000*0.10) = 1100 damage. If that gets reduced by 10% then 1100 * 0.9 = 990 damage, or 10 damage less than normal. A defense level of about +9 cancels out an attack level of +10; in our example 1100 * 0.91 = 1001, or just 1 over the normal 1000.

    In other words, defense levels are worth just a tiny bit more than attack levels.

    You are making an assumption that attack levels are applied before defense levels. I dont think this is the case. Please test this in an instance by punching someone in a duel with and without dominance blessings.

    I'm not sure what the order is either. The math is more complex the other way so I used that assumption for simplicity's sake, but in either case it's still not true that a +10 defense level cancels out a +10 attack level.

    It would not add complexity for attack and defense levels to cancel
    damage*(100 + attacker attack level - target defense level )/100

    Yeah, it looks like you're right. I did a search and found this, which supports the idea that they're combined before calculating the resulting damage.

    The difference between ATK and DEF lvl is calculated first, before any modification is done to damage dealt. The text in character window used to be clearer about this, and during the first JJ event where we got the 30 ATK lvl it was explained pretty well for everyone. No idea why they changed the description.
