how to balance a weapon betwen mage and paladin

[darknelson]

on my server paladins are hitting very hard but mages dont

here are two weapons

teach me please how i can make a right calcule to nivelate it

this is sd wand

local combat = Combat()
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_MORTAREA)
combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_SUDDENDEATH)

function onGetFormulaValues(player, level, maglevel)
    local min = (level / 2) + (maglevel * 1.3) + 12
    local max = (level / 5) + (maglevel * 4.4) + 18
    return -min, -max
end

combat:setCallback(CALLBACK_PARAM_LEVELMAGICVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")

 function onUseWeapon(player, variant)
     return combat:execute(player, variant)
 end

    <item id="25422" article="a" name="Ferumbras' staff">
        <attribute key="weight" value="2900" />
        <attribute key="description" value="It is made of platinum and emeralds and topped by a large F made of gold." />
        <attribute key="weaponType" value="wand" />
        <attribute key="shootType" value="death" />
        <attribute key="magiclevelpoints" value="4" />
        <attribute key="range" value="10" />
    </item>

and this is the slingshot for paladin

local area = createCombatArea({
     {0, 1, 1, 1, 0},
     {1, 1, 1, 1, 1},
     {1, 1, 3, 1, 1},
    {1, 1, 1, 1, 1},
    {0, 1, 1, 1, 0},
 })
 
 local combat = Combat()
 combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_TYPE, COMBAT_PHYSICALDAMAGE)
 combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_EFFECT, CONST_ME_ENERGYHIT)
 combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_DISTANCEEFFECT, CONST_ANI_CRYSTALLINEARROW)
 combat:setParameter(COMBAT_PARAM_BLOCKARMOR, true)
 combat:setFormula(COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 0, 0, 1, 0)
 combat:setArea(area)
 
 function onUseWeapon(player, variant)
     return combat:execute(player, variant)
 end

    <item id="5907" article="a" name="slingshot">
        <attribute key="description" value="A hermit near Carlin might be able to tell you more about it." />
        <attribute key="weight" value="220" />
        <attribute key="attack" value="120" />
        <attribute key="elementDeath" value="2" />
        <attribute key="maxHitChance" value="100" />
        <attribute key="weaponType" value="distance" />
        <attribute key="shootType" value="redstar" />
        <attribute key="range" value="5" />
        <attribute key="imbuingSlots" value="3" />
    </item>

and this is knight weapon

    <item id="24827" article="an" name="ogre klubba">
        <attribute key="weight" value="7900" />
        <attribute key="defense" value="25" />
        <attribute key="weaponType" value="club" />
        <attribute key="attack" value="120" />
        <attribute key="elementDeath" value="2" />
                <attribute key="imbuingSlots" value="3" />
    </item>

how i can make a calcule to nivelate it ?

You should calculate and test it by yourself in order to balance vocations/weapons.
First one for the wands.

function onGetFormulaValues(player, level, maglevel)
    local min = (level / 2) + (maglevel * 1.3) + 12
    local max = (level / 5) + (maglevel * 4.4) + 18
    return -min, -max
end

Min is the minimum damage can be dealt and you replace level/maglevel with the level/magic level in-game to know the exact damage.
Max is the maximum damage can be dealt and you replace level/maglevel with the level/magic level in-game to know the exact damage.
For second one the distance weapons

combat:setFormula(COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, 0, 0, 1, 0)

combat:setFormula(COMBAT_FORMULA_SKILL, min1, min2, max1, max2)

min2 = minimum damage can be dealt.
Normal weapon (damage/attack)+skills calculated* max1+max2 = maxmium damage can be dealt
min1 is not working I think so.
For the knight weapon I think it works like real Tibia

<attribute key="attack" value="120" />

which can be calculated here

Tibia-stats.com

I suggest using this formula for Distance/melee weapons.

function onGetFormulaValues(cid, level, skill, attack, factor)
    local skillTotal, levelTotal = skill + attack, level / 5
    return -(skillTotal * 0.5 + levelTotal), -(skillTotal * 1.5 + levelTotal)
end
setCombatCallback(combat, CALLBACK_PARAM_SKILLVALUE, "onGetFormulaValues")

to calculate it just replace
skillTotal with players' skills+weapon attack
levelTotal with players' level/5
First one is minimum damage and second one is maximum damage.
You can also do some changes in vocations.xml to increase/reduce damage.
by changing those
meleeDamage="1.0" distDamage="1.0" wandDamage="1.0" magDamage="1.0"
For TFS 0.4
and only those
meleeDamage="1.0" distDamage="1.0"
For TFS 1.3/1.2
