Great, I would love to hear from this !
with the help of wayback archive i could find the old forum, do you have any remind of keyword that i could use to find this tread ?
i let you the perma links on the old forum if somebody wanted to find something there here
hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure some issues (to understand) in the damage calculation formula for both physical and magical damage.
i'll never speak about critical damage
the damage formula is :
DmgDone = (CritMod) * (ADF) * [ 2.75 * (DPS) + 2 * (DPS) * (SkillPercent) ]
this one is farly clear for me (as i used to played melee physical).
my issue is understanding the skill who have + 0.y*str (or dex)
eg : charged chop skill (warden) does 800% + 0.3*str
how the +0.y*str is had to the formula ? flat damage, inside the skill percent, inside square bracket, etc... ? 
the damage formula is :
DmgDone = (MPw)x(CritMod)x(ADF) x [(NCT) x (1 + 2.6x(Spell lvl)/100) x(MDam) + (SBD)]
what about skill that are instant cast, what is the value on NCT ? is it the same as 1 sec cast time ?
what about skill that have +0.y*int, how does it "modify" the formula ?
thanks for your time
