General note

Keep in mind that many non-percentile values actually scale to the player's level. For example, at player level one, the skill level one Great Defender may give 117 HP/min, but when player is level ten, the same level one Great Defender will give a lot more HP/min instead. The same scaling effect goes for the rest of the nine skill levels.
