RoyalNavy had a good word for it, representation. 2% represents .02 when multiplying. So you can say you're multiplying by 2%(which you don't do), but what you're really doing is multiplying by .02 to get 2%.
There is no discrepancy in the BFA/BTA numbers. You just refuse to deal with the raw stats. Once you talk raw stats then everything makes much more sense, including how you add pots, equipment and mith spells. You should shift paradigms
This is specifically a guide to BFA, not attack power. I could make a guide about attack power completely to relay that message but that has no place in this guide. They are relate but they aren't close enough to blow up a simple guide with numbers and conversions for that paradigm.
lol Okay. I think your original definition confuses the issue later on when ppl ask about all those other bonuses. Nevertheless, while other ATA games have their equivalent of allies, they don't show the raw stats like kaw does (even though BFA works on the same 2% model) so your guide makes it easier for crossover players to understand.
Great job bud. Please don't confuse us next time with the slanty line with hollow circles on either side!!! Not everyone took 6th grade math you math whiz.
