Damage scaling?

So I was wondering how damage scales with skills that give 2% dmg to X weapon system like specialization weapon skills.
Do they give off the base every time?

Say a base of 500 dmg each lvl gives 2% damage bonus so at level 4 you would have 500-510-520-530- 540 damage.
Or does it scale based on the 2% buff like 500 - 510- 520.2 -530.6 -541.2 damage?
Meaning at lvl 1 you would have 510 dmg then the next lvl gives 2% of the 510.
Granted it is not a huge difference but there is some.

Sorry if I didn't explain it well but I think someone might understand what I'm saying.

You explained it fine and I hope it's the second bit in that it's a % of the NEW bonused amount. However, I can't be certain of this and not really sure how to test it in game. I'd also love to hear from anyone who has done the in game testing (on paper is moot as it's based off what those devs input as calcs).

It's the first option. All bonuses from the skill are summed then multiplied by the base.

To clarify, however, separate skills (or other sources such as ship role bonus) are multiplicative with each other.

For example, using Ogre II's on a Dominix with the following skills:


  • Combat Drone Operation V (+5% damage/lvl)
  • Drone Interfacing IV (+20% damage/lvl)
  • Gallente Drone Specialization IV (+2% damage/lvl)
  • Gallente Battleship IV (+10% damage/lvl)


The final damage would be:

(drone base dmg) * (1 + 0.05*5) * (1 + 0.20*4) * (1 + 0.02*4) * (1 + 0.10*4) = 3.402x base damage
