How it works: This calculator uses the official AION Retail damage formulas to find the optimal distribution of your 51 manastones between Attack (+23 each) and Crit Strike (+86 each). It accounts for attack dilution, crit chance curves, weapon multipliers, and fortitude in PvP.

Attack Gain Analysis (Dilution Effect)
As your Effective Attack (Total Attack - Enemy Defense) increases, the percentage gain from each additional 1,000 points drops significantly.
