Monsters Clashing Spiral Damage:
Here are two pictures, from identically equipped Lord Knights with respect to their reductions (the rest don't matter since Spiral is not effected by defense).
This first one is from iRO Iris:

The numbers are a bit faded, but if you look closely above his head, you can see he is being hit for 724 x 5 damage from the Spiral.
This is taken from a Private Server that is using the latest eA version.

You can clearly see here that this LK is taking 948 x 5 damage from the Spiral Pierce.
Here is a shot of their gears to see that their reductions are indeed identical:

+7 Alice Stone Buckler (45% reduction from Kasas)
+7 Immune Garment (20% more reduction)
Both using assumptio (50% reduction)
Here is a set of calculations which shows where I believe the problem lies:
Kasas have 3030~3500 attack.
Calculation their spiral with 3030 attack, we get this:
[(0.8 x 3030)(1.5)]+16
(0.8 times monster attack)(times 1+(50xskill level) plus (45/10)^2
= 3652 damage
= 1826 damage after assumptio
= 1004.3 damage after alice stone buckler
= 803 damage after raydric garment
This is very close to the screenshot from the iRO Iris server, and even closer to this other screen provided:

To the top and left of the LK, you will see he is taking 774 x 5 damage.
Calculation of their spiral with 3500 attack, we get this:
[(0.8*3500)(1.5)]+16
= 4216
= 2108 after assumptio
= 1159.4 after alice stone buckler
= 927.52 after immune garment
This is very close to the screenshot from the Private Server, in which the Lord Knight took 948 x 5 damage.
In essence, I think Monster Spiral is bugged because the formula uses the monsters MaxATK instead of the MinATK, which is what is seen on iRO (and I would assume on kRO as well.)
The damage also shows a good bit of variance from the iRO screenshot. From my experience, 700 is about the lowest I've ever been struck with from Spiral, which works out to about 2780 attack being used in the calculation.
