I thought it rolled on mitigation AND avoidance? Or is it just mitigation? And link some proof pls

ATK is only used in the damage calculation, not the hit chance calculation.

The link above is the EQEMU hit chance function. The variable "skillinuse" is the weapon skill being used.

Some people have tried to argue in the past that the EQEMU code is too different from P99's code to be useful. To counter this claim, please take a look at:

I updated the game mechanics page to use the EQEMU's formulas. I have 10 different videos with logs of P99 parses using the EQEMU formulas across different classes, levels, and weapons. The predictions vs. The results are either identical or off by 3 damage or less. This shows the EQEMU formulas for damage are being used on P99, albeit with a few slightly different magic numbers.

either way - the point stands. even if +40 attack just means you get a higher damage distribution - that's irreplaceable - especially on high AC targets

Yes, +40 ATK is quite valuable.
