Attack and Defense Levels

if ( attack level > defense level ) then:
damage taken = damage delivered * ( 1 + ( attack level - defense level ) / 100 )

if ( attack level < defense level ) then:
damage taken = damage delivered / ( 1 + ( 1.2 * ( defense level - attack level ) / 100 ) )
------------------------------------------
Full R9.3 Armor + Weapon = 33 Defense Levels & 98 Attack Levels
------------------------------------------
This means if 2 people without shards attack each other the equation for damage taken is:
Damage Delivered * 1.65
So 1,000 damage becomes 1,650 damage.
------------------------------------------
If person A adds 48 attack levels (24 Deity), they now have 146 Attack levels and 33 Defense Levels.
His attack on person B’s new damage equation is:
Damage Delivered * 2.13
So 1,000 damage becomes 2,130 damage.
His opponent still only deals 1,650 damage.
This is a 480 damage difference in person A’s favor.
------------------------------------------
If person A adds 48 defense levels (24 JoSD), they instead have 98 Attack levels and 81 Defense Levels.
Person B’s new damage equation is:
Damage Delivered * 1.17
So 1,000 damage becomes 1,170 damage.
Person A still deals 1,650 damage.
This is a 480 damage difference in person A’s favor.
