138% of the fixed part of your Spark skill damage, i.e. the character level-based damage bonus is not included.

Not so sure. Spark Shield damage always seemed to me higher than Spark.

I'm pretty much 100% sure that the level-based bonus is not included. Obviously I haven't tried every single one of the 100 different skill combinations, but if you look at L1 Spark and L10 Spark Shield, you should get either 41-55 damage (no level bonus), or 593-607 (level 100 mech), which is quite a big difference to say the least. Considering it took 7 hits from Spark Shield to kill a Plant Lord (which, I might add, dies from a single, non-critical default hit for 361-447 damage), I'm quite confident that the level bonus is not included.

On AD2 a spark from shield deal more damage thanSpark itself.

I find that hard to believe to be honest, unless there's something special about the monsters in AD2 or with Plant Lords and Bumas that makes them take different amounts of damage from Spark Shield and/or Spark.

I don't know anything about SS and it's mechanisms or it's behavior on maps lower than AD because when Spark, SS and all other mech skills got boosted I was already 120, so I didn't try it out.

 

I can't say about the damage too, because you can't see hitpoints of the monsters, but I see their HP bar. For sure SS is not just about the static damage of Spark, or else it would be pretty useless on higher maps and probably won't have any effect on monsters HP, wich is pretty different from what I can see.
