Shame Guardian special drops...

Ah I see now. LS is functionally similar to AI, that is how I was able to do x3 dmg.
Interesting.

So let me know if I have this right:

Base Melee Damage = Base Weapon Damage + Base Weapon Damage x [(Tactics/1.6+6.25*)% + (Anatomy/2+5*)% + (Lumberjacking/5+10*)%** + (Strengthx0.3+5*)% + DI***]

*Bonus for 100 or greater
**If using an axe
*** DI refers to the magic item property Damage Increase and is capped at 100%

Maximum Damage = Base Melee Damage x 3

Final Damage = [Base Melee Damage + Base Melee Damage x (EoO + (Super)Slayer + perfection + others)****] x [(1-Target Resist(s))] + Direct Damage

****The sum of damage modifiers (i.e. EoO, slayer, perfection, etc) <= 200%

Damage modifiers:
EoO = 82% max; Super Slayer = 100%; Single Slayer = 200%; perfection = 100% max; other=CW, stone form, etc.

Armor Ignore sets Target Resist to 0

Lightning Strike critical hits are Direct Damage?

Therefore Damage Increase, the magic item property, is absolutely critical.

edit2: removed penalties from equation

Yes I think it is exactly that.

Note that unlike Stone Form, Horrific Beast adds a bonus to DI (so adds nothing if you are already at 100 DI)

And yes, DI as a property is especially critical on a warrior since it gets itself multiplied by the final multiplier. But on a non-warrior which doesn't use slayers, Bushido or Chivalry, a few points of DI don't make much difference, especially if the base weapon damage is already low (daggers, kryss, etc... most common spell chan weapons in fact), so the Whetstone has much more sense in this light.
