Valkyrie Manteau is currently not working correctly on eAthena.
It is a known fact that Reflect Shield and Valkyrie Manteau (as well as High Orc card/Sheep hat etc.) do not "stack" on official server. If you equip a Valkyrie Manteau and use Reflect Shield, two seperate damage values will fly off the enemy as soon as he damages you. Although they do add up to a total value that is the same as stacking both Reflect %, but the way eA stacks it prevents a unique feature that can be observed on official servers:
Let's say, for easy calculation purpose, we have a Paladin with Reflect Shield 5 (25% Reflect) and a Valkyrie Manteau +10 (25% Reflect). The Paladin gets damaged by a 10000 Damage melee skill.
In
PVP Mode, the Reflect Shield skill reflects 25% of the damage (2500 dmg) and the Valkyrie Manteau reflects 25% damage (2500 dmg). Both damage values add up to 5000 dmg, which is
50% of the total damage dealt.
In
WoE mode, the Reflect Shield skill reflects 25% of the damage (2500 dmg) and the Valkyrie Manteau reflects 25% damage (2500 dmg). However, skill-based damage in WoE is reduced by 40%. This means the Paladin receives only 6000 dmg. The reflected damage portion from Reflect skill is also reduced by 40% because it is a skill-based damage, so the damage dealer will receive 1500 dmg. The reflected damage portion from the Valkyrie Manteau however is NOT reduced by WoE mode because it is NOT a skill-based damage, but a item-based damage, so it still fully reflects 2500 dmg.
Seeing from this, the Paladin effectively reflects 4000 damage, which is
66.66% of the total damage dealt. If you split it up, the Valkyrie Manteau +10 is responsible for 41.66% of the damage reflected, which means, 1% of the reflected damage by the Valkyrie Manteau is worth about
1.666% in WoE.
eAthena currently stacks up all Reflect % and treats it as skill-based damage, which is wrong.
