does anyone have a rating on what does more damage such as the different types of soulshot and spirtshot.
1)Soulshot no grade
2)Soulshot Dgrade
1)Spiritshot nograde
2)Blessed spirtshot
3)Blessed Spirtshot Dgrade
Is this the way the damage increases or is it some other way?

D grade Soulshots and spitirshots and D grade anything can only be used on an item of the same grade.
to use D grade be level 20+, C grade at level 40+, B grade at 52+, A grade lvl 61+, and now in C4, you can get S grade at lvl 76+
Soulshots are used in melee (using a sword to do physical damage) and Spiritshots (as well as Blessed Spiritshots) when you use a magic attack like windstrike.
Blessed Spiritshots double your Damage output magically they dont work for physical; Soulshots do the same for Physical damage only.

I know that only d grade can be used on a dgrade weapon
What im asking is what is the power rating not in a number but in rotation of what does more damage and if its enough to actually change from say blessed spiritshot to spiritshot d grade.

sps 1.5x mattack
bsps 2x mattack
someone else can tell you what that actually means but its not 2x damage

Normal Spiritshots: Damage x 1,5
Blessed Spiritshots: Damage x 2,0

You are wrong. BSpS give 2x damage, because in effect it gives you 4x MAtk, not 2x.

Soulshots always do 2x damage.
Spiritshots and blessed spiritshots do 1.4x and 2x damage respectively (sqrt of 2*matk and 4*matk respectively)
Grade does not matter for the damage multiplier (D grade blessed does 2x damage, as does A grade blessed)
Usually, everybody who uses magic uses blessed spiritshot. Reason is that a.) you practically never can BUY standard spiritshots (nobody offers them, and you most of the time cannot even find them in private craft shops) and b.) the damage difference in most cases is the difference between two- and three-shotting a mob, and that means less downtime (less mp used per mob, and the mob cannot damage you before you kill it) and money spent per mob should be about the same.

Ok Does that mean
A) That Blessed Spiritshot D Grade does 4 times more damage?
B) Or are you saying that Blessed Spiritshot and Spiritshot D Grade are the same?

No, you still got it wrong :)
Blessed Spiritshot (no grade) does 2* damage with a no grade weapon
Spiritshot D grade does 1.4* damage with a D grade weapon
Blessed Spiritshot D grade does 2* damage with a D grade weapon
Standard Spiritshot (of whatever grade) always does 1.4* damage and blessed spiritshot (of whatever grade) always 2* damage. What grade the spiritshot is has no influence on the damage, only what weapons you can use it with.

Do you feel your question was answered?

Yes i do now thank you for your time.
Being a caster I am interested in how the damage is caculated. Could you share the formula or point me in the right direction to find it?
Weapon Mattack*Int*Skill*Buff*Bsps-mdef=damage? Obviously not or else we would see damage in the hundreds of thousands. ;)

In Prima Guide you can find the formula that was used in C1:
sqr(Attacker's M.Atk / Defender's M.Def) * Skill's Power * 91
sqr = square root
It is believed that NCsoft will never again share this kind of information to the community.
