Hits and scaling

This spell's code changed in a later update, so we show no hit numbers.

What it scales with

Strike hits use Physical Power.
Damage bonus: Strike Damage and Physical Damage from gear and the tree, added together into one bonus.
Physical Power = Strength x1, Adventure x0.5, Agility x0.5, plus flat Physical Power from gear and the tree. Archetype passives add: Wild Strider Adventure x0.25.
One hit = power x (1 + bonus / 100) x (1 - the target's defence share) x the hit multiplier, rounded up. A critical hit then adds your Critical Damage.
