This is a polite request for data from anyone who wishes to help.

I am currently trying to calculate the damage equation for skills. I have calculated other equations and I wish to try and sort out this one.

So anyone with a couple of spare minutes in game who wishes to help me solve this can you post in this thread with the following information for noxious shot and posion shot from the ranger skill trainer(if you dont have the skills there is no need to purchase them you can get the info from mousing over the skills in the trainers skill list):

I need your characters level
your total intelligence
the posion damage bonus and the percentage poison damage bonus if any on any equipment you have
the rank of the skill
the min and max damage listed in the skill description

If you have the mage passive mental prowess can you please remove it from your skill tray while you get this data as this distorts any data.

To make it simple you can just copy the below and fill in the relevant information.

Character level:
Total Intelligence:
Poison Damage Bonus:
Percentage Poison Damage Bonus:

Noxious Shot:
Rank:
Min damage:
Max damage:

Poison Shot:
