The Weapon Pool System
Recall that there is no such thing as percentage in Grim Dawn, everything is done by weights. So, when you equip an item or use a skill that adds to your WPS, what's really happening is you're adding weights to the Weapon Pool System.
The game then rolls a die to decide whether you attack with a skill, or your default attack. Pretty standard. The system is the exact same whether you use a Ranged weapon or a Melee weapon.

Two Handed or One Handed + Shield/Focus
If we maxed out Markovian's Advantage (25 weights), for instance, our WPS bar would look something like this (Each letter is 5 weights, let us denote a Default attack as "D"):
MMMMMDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Duel Wielding
The only thing different about Duel Wielding is that you don't have a default attack, you have three default attacks*:
Left Hand Attack L (35)
Right Hand Attack R (35)
Both B (30)
*I don't know the weights for these, but for the purposes of explaining, I'm going to assume the numbers I put by them. If you know them, free feel to comment and I will edit it into the post.

So a standard attack with nothing in your Weapon Pool would look like:
LLLLLLLRRRRRRRBBBBBB

If you add a Weapon Pool Skill, you take away equivalent amounts of the three different types of attacks. Here it is with a maxed Markovian's Advantage (25 Weights):
MMMMMLLLLLRRRRRBBBBB
Notice that some default Left attacks, some default Right attacks, and some default Both attacks were removed from the Weapon Pool Skill.

Pretty Simple. Let's say that we had more than 100 weights in our system:
MMMMMZZZZZBBBBAAAAWWWWEEEE
Then the engine would just roll a die with the range of 1 to the total number of weights in the system, in this case, 130.

Recap:
The Weapon Pool System is pretty simple. Just remember that if you go over 100 Weights, then you dilute the pool. So if you prefer to have Execution occur the most, then max that skill out, and lower other skills until your WPS has 100 weights!

Charges (Cadence)
There is reason to believe that B27 changed information in this section. This information may be out of date.
The differing WPS skills add different charges to skills like Cadence. Here are the skills you can get from Nightblade and Soldier.
Melee DW:
MA hits with both weapons, only gives one charge to Cadence.
ZT hits with one weapon, only gives one charge to Cadence.
BS hits with both weapons, gives two charges to Cadence.
AQC hits with both weapons, gives three charges to Cadence.
WD hits with both weapons, gives one charge to Cadence. (I could be wrong here).
Range DW:
MA hits with one weapon, only gives one charge to Cadence.
ZT hits with one weapon, only gives one charge to Cadence.

WPS Works with These Skills:
Fire Strike - Demolitionist
Savagery - Shaman
Troll Rage - Mistborn Talisman (Relic)
Beronath's Fury - Shard of Beronath (Melee Weapon Materia) (Not currently available)

Pretty much any kind of % damage bonus is additive. The only multiplicative bonus I know of is "Total damage modified by x%" like on Clean Sweep transmuter (Soldier, Blade Arc).

Zitat

The only damage multipliers in the game are +n% Damage to <Monster Type> and +n% Crit Damage. Everything else, including +% Total Damage, is additive. New to B27 are a stat found on transmuters called "Damage Modified", which multiplicatively changes your damage output.

Since it's now B30 and Legendary droprates have gone up, anyone who spends at least 2 hours a day farming and trading will get a decent set in about under 2-3 weeks of regular playing. I've already found 7 Legendaries farming BoC which took under an hour considering the amount of breaks I took inbetween. In B29 I managed to farm/trade for most of my gear on the basis of "self found" requirements, do TAKE NOTE however that I've literally played 300 hours of Grim Dawn in the past 4 weeks, and I doubt most if any of you will be able to match my time and frequency played, so yes, most of the gear is hard to find, expect to slog for it.

Meine Erwartung war, dass der Soldier mehr tanky wäre. Ich könnte ihn natürlich mehr tanky machen - auf Kosten des Damage-Outputs - aber macht er dann überhaupt noch Spaß? Er spielt sich ja jetzt schon eher zäh. In erster Linie habe ich den Soldier gestartet, um HC doch mal eine Chance zu geben ... eventuell. Die Klasse an sich war noch nie so meins. Dann lieber Glaskanonen, aber für HC bin ich damit zu langsam im Kopf und manchmal zu blöde, um ihn nach Feierabend zu spielen.

Du hast immernoch nicht verraten, wie Du die Attribute verteilst. Mich nervt, dass man das nicht mehr ändern kann.

/edit2: WTF! Es gibt Devotion skills, die man mit LMB und RMB bzw. anderen Skills verknüpfen und leveln kann?! Wusste ich bisher nicht...
