Talk:Damage Mitigation
From EHWiki
Here is what I had so far:
Damage Reduction: There are three factors that go into determining damage reduction: Physical/Magical Absorption (including that granted by Shield or Barrier), Physical/Magical Mitigation, and specific type Mitigation (e.g. Slashing, Fire, etc.). It is important to note that mitigations are applied in a multiplicative fashion.
This works out to:
[(Original Damage Roll- Absorption)*(1-Mitigation)*(1-Mitigation)]= Damage taken.
The reason I haven't pushed it live is because I'm not sure when Absorption is applied (I Pm'ed Tenboro about it) and I think more info about how the mitigation granted from elemental ratings are calculated additively (before being applied multiplicatively)--Boggyb 18:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
