Editing Comparison of Armorer, Offense and Archery (section)

=== Discussion ===
Note that all three skills' percentages increase linearly when their respective specialty heroes reach higher levels.

Now, for Offense and Archery the resulting advantage also increases linearly:
Offense specialty adds a 100% (linear) bonus every 66.66 levels after level 46.66.
Archery specialty adds a 100% (linear) bonus every 40 levels after level 20.

Armorer behaves non-linear. This is because the change from 15% reduced damage to 20% reduced damage is less of a difference than 90% reduced damage to 95% reduced damage. From 15% to 20% the change is only a 5.9% improvement, but 90% to 95% '''halves''' the damage taken!

==== Tabular Overview #1 ====
Here a tabular overview of what levels would be needed to double/triple/... the damage or to receive only half/one third/... of the damage:
