An older character guide may still describe the previous arrangement. Check its date before using it to plan your choice. These are official development notes ahead of launch; the post does not give a precise deployment time for this change or establish which version an independent server is running.
Read the percentages separately
and damage are different quantities. Subtracting one percentage from the other will not tell you the overall change to a character's damage. The size of the larger number also does not settle which character will suit you. The note supplies a specific , without a complete comparison of every and situation.
For a or plan, separate the attacks made by the character from those made by the . Ask which part the stated bonus covers. That small distinction prevents a -only increase from becoming a promise of 5% more damage across everything you do. No damage test or ranking is being presented here.
