Unfortunately I think the p99 actual max damages are different enough that it's not especially useful for predicting p99 max damages.

Here are two different classes at two different levels using four different weapons, 1h and 2h weapons. All of the max damage calculations match very closely. Logs are in the video descriptions. The formula is very close and works across weapons, levels, and classes. It would be silly to simply throw it away due to it being off by 1-4 damage.

1. Wrath = 231 Hand to Hand Skill + ((141 STR * 2) - 150) / 3 + 0 Total ATK = 275
2. RolledD20 = 20 / 10 = 2
3a. Base Bonus = (275 Wrath - 80 minusFactor) / 2 = 98
3b. Extra Percent = 100 + (98 Base Bonus * 1.0 Random Value) = 198
3c. DamageDone = (9 Weapon Damage * 2 RolledD20 * 198 ExtraPercent) / 100 = 36 rounded up
4. 36 + 9 Main Hand Damage Bonus = 45

Max Damage Calculated = 45
Max Damage Recorded = 44
