Damage Calculations

[LuckyCheshire]

It's remarkably difficult to find reliable information about how the damage for different skills is calculated. It seems like it can be based on any random combination of weapon level, weapon stat scaling, stats, and complete bull. And they may or may not at random trigger certain effects like the Spear Talisman. And then there's weird stuff like getting boosts from jump attack modifiers like the Claw Talisman, but not as much of a boost as a normal jump attack. I haven't tested yet, but I read someone saying that Lion's Claw triggers the Briar Set's damage, since it's... a roll? I guess? A flip in the air counts for some reason?

Does anyone have some reliable information? The skills I'd like to know about the most are:
-Lion's Claw
-Giant Hunt
-Piercing Fang
Thanks

Dude, I looked there. And other places online. That's why I said "It's remarkably difficult to find reliable information". The wiki has some smatterings of info, but very little useful. And nothing about how those skills actually have their basic damage determined, even ignoring special effects for now. That step has been completed, and found lacking.

One more bump. If this doesn't get any answers, I'm done, don't worry.
