What is the current damage calculation formula?

I just got a new weapon that adds 2k mattack (current is 9k), but removes 25 crit and 120 add damage, so it isn't apparent if it will be better or worse.

    attack is king until you reach the cap for the respective boss and maintain a decent crit rate against it ( 30-35+ )

    If balance wasn't changed, it means the hit does between your current balance and 100% damage.
    Excluding other factors, looking at just the balance:

    So, with my old weapon I have
    9000 matck
    79 BAL
    on average 89.5% damage = 8055 damage

    With new weapon
    11000 matck
    54 BAL
    on average 77% damage = 8470 damage

    I barely get any increase, and since I also lose 120 add damage which I did not include here since no one could provide any formula, I will probably lose damage in the end, so can someone explain why is the new weapon would be better when it doesn't seem like it would be?

    and what MisterWhiskers said seems to be wronmg in this case.

    Found this thread:
    http://forums.vindictus.nexon.net/discussion/7606/your-thoughts-on-additional-damage-changes/p1
    So additional damage is added on top of regular with 6.25 mult, both are affected by balance.
    With that in mind:

    Old weapon
    9000 matck
    750 add dmg
    79 BAL, on average 89.5% damage
    8055 damage
    total average dmg = 0.895 * (9000 + 750*6.25) = 12250

    With new weapon
    11000 matck
    630 add dmg
    54 BAL, on average 77% damage
    total average dmg = 0.77 * (11000 + 630*6.25) = 11501

    So new weapon will actually significantly reduce the damage output despite having 2k more magic attack
