  Luck now increases the chance for Ranged Skills to miss passively without the use of Evasion.
  
  How Badly will this effect range ??

  
  
  SUNFLARE, it means monsters' range, not the players' range.[/SIZE]

  If it is, it's hidden and nobody has bothered to write down the values. so how much of an impact it will have without knowing the formula or monster luck values is unknown.
  
  Also from the Korean Wiki I have:
  
  행운이 높을수록 원거리공격 자동회피 확률이 올라간다. 다만 보정률이 매우 낮아서 이걸 노리고 찍는 경우는 거의없다.
  Rough Google Translate: The higher the lucky chance to dodge ranged attacks goes up automatically. Compensation rate is very low, but rarely take it off a.

  Will we know when we dodge an attack? Half the time when archers or mages hit me, I don't even realize because I'm focusing on other monsters.

  Probably not. You'll hear the shot go off but won't see damage for it as if the mob archer had naturally missed you.

  So the current difference in magic power between a normal wand and a an Ego look like this:

  Normal wand has 12 Max, no helpful reforge.
  Ego has 66 Max, Level 1 Magic Attacj reforge.
  
  If a wand's damage was to be added to the base of Firebolt, shouldn't I be hitting close to 6k with Firebolt?
  Or are we currently under effect of some coefficient that gets buffed after Zero?
  
  Also if I use Overture (+32.20%) with Firebolt, my highest hit changes like this;

  Where would that be in the formula pre and post Zero?

  I don't know where ego's fit in but even on test I have noticed an extra 300 firebolt damage with a base ego at low ranks of firebolt.

  Is it possible that the max damage of the egos doesn't matter, than?

  Well, I would need to afk more with my ego to be able to test that. But I'm busy with NA for the next two days so that's something I'll have to test for you next week.
  
  I'm going to make the assumption that the max still helps with the firebolt damage, otherwise KR players would not be using fire ego wands all over the place.

  Seconding this. Compared to a simple 17% savage wand, my ego is doing about 100 damage less with 5 charge firebolt.
  
  Moar test pls.

  I seem to recall hearing that after the Druid update, Mana Crystallization crystals would not have reduced damage based on the user's MC rank? But I don't see anything of the sort in the first post. I wonder if this is really the case...

  I think that's part of the Professor Update if it's not listed in the Alchemy changes. Need to double check. Back to square one with Blaze btw, had the korean translated:
  
  1. Repetitive damage skills ( Firebolt, IS, Hailstorm):
  [Skill base damage+bonus damage from Magic Attack x magic attack] x Number of charges
  Singe damages (like Icebolt, Thunder, Fireball, shockwave, etc):
  [Skill base damage + bonus damage from Magic attack x magic attack]
  Special damage skill (Blaze):
  [Skill base damage x (Magic Attack x multiplier) x Comba wand bonus (12) x Magic mastery bonus x down gauge effect] (Still waiting on additional info)
  
  2. Max damage does affect, but it's so minimal that we don't care about it.
  For crit damage, use the equations above * crit multiplier
  
  3. Apparently the person doesn't know what to suggest for enchants.
  
  So basically nobody over in Korea knows the new Blaze Formula :/
