Damage is the skill ratio applied to ATK per hit. * More under the conditions in the formula below.

Damage formula (rAthena source, pre-renewal)

The skill ratio starts at 100 and is changed by this code (calculateSkillRatio); skill_lv is the skill level.

const status_change *tsc = status_get_sc(target);
base_skillratio += 10 * skill_lv - 50;
if (wd->miscflag & BREAK_NECK || (tsc && tsc->getSCE(SC_JOINTBEAT) && tsc->getSCE(SC_JOINTBEAT)->val2 & BREAK_NECK))
    base_skillratio *= 2;
