Detail

Applies weapon + Attack Rating of any kind, but this is not displayed by character screen. [1]
Applies boot rather than weapon physical attack damage, but weapon range adder determines melee range and weapon speed determines attack rate. When equipping two claws, primary weapon is used.
Assassin's Kick Damage Calculator calculates damage as outlined below:

Total minimum damage = minimum base damage + minimum boot damage

Total maximum damage = maximum base damage + maximum boot damage

Minimum base damage = ( (Strength + Dexterity - 20) / 4) * (100 + Skill Bonus) / 100

Maximum base damage = ( (Strength + Dexterity - 20) / 3) * (100 + Skill Bonus) / 100

Skill Bonus is +% Damage from Dragon Talon and Tiger Strike. When Assassin wears boots, boot damage added to base damage is calculated as follows:

Minimum boot damage * (100 + [Strength * Strength Bonus / 100] + Damage) / 100

Maximum boot damage * (100 + [Strength * Strength Bonus / 100] + Damage) / 100

Strength Bonus is 120 for all boots, so +% Damage = [Strength * 1.2] (120/100)
Damage is sum of +% Damage from the following sources:
- Skill Bonus (as above)
- Items other than weapons
- Auras (Might, Concentration, Fanaticism and Heart of Wolverine) [2]

- Weapon's Enhanced Damage
- + Minimum Damage
- + Maximum Damage

- Deadly Strike
