So was doing my standard 'going through the VA's on each of my dots to see if any needed any resets and stumbled across this following conundrum; (can't believe I haven't noticed this before now.)

Dot A.) has a 12 level in an Attribute enhancing VA which gives it a 0.5% bonus, per level, to that skill.

Dot B.) also has a 12 level in an Attribute enhancing VA which also gives it a 0.5% bonus, per level, to that skill.

Dot A.) gets a +3.02 bonus to his skill. (Stamina)

Dot B.) gets a +5.59 bonus to his skill. (Vision)

So why the difference? Both dots are same level. Both VA bonuses are same % gained. But not the same bonus given? Is it just as simple as the skills not being the same???

Kept digging and even found this as well;

Dot B.) [from above] with 12 levels in Vision @ 0.5% bonus ends up with a +5.59 overall bonus to his vision skill.

Dot C.) [not mentioned above but same level as the rest] ... also with 12 levels in Vision @ 0.5% bonus ends up with a +4.68 overall bonus to his vision skill.

Huh???

Does dot A have 50 stamina and dot B have 93 vision

Yes, there's a disparity in their skill #'s. Not all the skills on the dot's listed are the exact same level. Does that make a big difference and why?

Oh... wait... I think I get where you're going with this. Is the % gained based off the initial skill level?

Yes the enhancement is based off your base attributes

Vision 93 x 12 levels of VA at .5% = 93x.06 = 5.58 bonus
Stamina 50 x 12 levels of VA at .5 = 50x.06 = 3 bonus

Ah ha. Well... thanks brother. Much appreciated.

Helped me make some decisions. Swapped out the meager Stamina gain for something better.

What else would a % gain be based on?

Was temporary brain fart. Wording threw me off a bit so I went back and re-read the stupid thing and it all came back to me. Old age is a bitch.
