What is the equivalence in power between skills?

Question

I know skills train differently between vocations and also reach different levels at the same time. Paladins get higher skill, then knights and lastly mages.

What is the equivalence in power between skills Melee, Distance and Magic?
For example: 110 Distance = 100 Melee = 80 Magic

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is no real way to discover equivalence since different vocations deal damage in slightly different ways.

A mage will have a more consistent damage output due to the fact that their damage spells never "miss" except in the case of player error.

A knight has a wide range of damage and can hit for as low as 0 with a melee attack, or can deal a critical hit to every monster around him dealing significant damage. A knight is limited in his damage due to the fact he can only hit at most the 8 squares around him with most of his spells. A knight can get high combos a single target utilizing combination of auto attack and spells, something fairly unique to this class as he can do it at any time.

A paladin can deal extremely high single target damage, or he can deal high area damage. A paladin is a strong inbetween of a knight and mage where they can deal consistent damage to area targets, or high number single target damage that faces the same possibility of no damage as a knight.

Answer 2

If you want to compare single-target attacks (not spells) between paladins and knights, that's pretty simple. A paladin of level L, distance skill S and shooting a throwing weapon/ammunition of attack A should hit as much as a knight of level L, melee skill S and attacking with a weapon of attack A. Both of them on the same fighting mode, of course.

This comparison is very limited, though. Both knights and paladins hunt with spells, not just weapons; and paladins' distance skill is increased in a quicker rate than knights' melee skills.
