[quote=tonywashere]It was proven with some long math formulas on Basil that Total Damage = Attack on weapons, so his weapon is exactly 5 attack more than yours. It is only 5 attack, but I would say it's somewhat noticeable. I wouldn't spend a fortune upgrading to that one though...[/quote]
Not quite. Total damage actually has a greater effect on your range than % attack does. When % attack buffs your range and the final amount of W. Attack results in a decimal, that decimal is always rounded down. Basically, 199 W. Attack with 3% attack will round 204.97 down to 204 attack, rather than to 205. % attack also stacks additively with Echo of the Hero and Dark Aura (and I think certain others buffs like the Mech's accelerator) rather than multiplicatively like total damage does. In theory % attack and % total damage should do the same thing, but in general training there is a slight difference between the two, and when training with Battle Mages or level 200s there's a much more noticeable difference.
