For Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Critical Hit Chance vs. May 06, 2017 Damage vs Critical Hit Damage etc? I am trying to arrange my Gems but ai don't understand the difference between protection from the elements vs All resist. Or damage vs elites vs Crit damage vs simply Damage. Not sure which gems to put where. You want a 1:10 ratio for chc and chd. 10% crit chance is a comparable damage. For Tom Clancy's The Division on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Stat re-rolls: Crit Chance vs Damage to Elites'. Mar 30, 2014 My monk has 40% Critical Chance + 400% Critical Damage + 25% (Damage Against Elite) from soj. I wanted to increase 'Damage Against Elite' since it's all about elite fight this game. What is i put a Diamond into my off hand weapon this will 'Increase' against Elite to 45% but 'Lower' my critical damage. So here are the break down. Feb 08, 2015 No matter what people tell you about having a 1:10 ratio, or having a socket over ele dmg, crit chance crit dmg, etc. The most difficult stat to get on your gear is Crit Damage, followed by Legendary Socket, followed by Crit Chance. You should NEVER give up any crit damage slot; this means your amulet MUST have crit damage at least.

Hello everyone! My Name is Dannie Ray and I’ll be here every Saturday explaining all things theorycrafting so you can better understand your characters and the game you love, lets hope you haven’t forgotten all the math you’ve learned in school because we will finally have a chance to put it to good use.

Today we are going to look at Damage in Diablo 3, where does it come from? How is it calculated? How can we maximize our damage output? How can I figure out what the best possible build for me is?

Dmg To Elites Vs Crit Hit Chance 3

All of those questions have one thing in common, and that is that they are a lot easier to answer once you know how Damage Calculations Work, so lets get into it.

Note: Remember that percentages are actually a division by 100, 500% and plain 5 are the same thing. By the same logic One Hundred Percent equals one

Stats and DPS:

There are many stats that help your DPS in one way or another, we have some that are reflected on the character sheet DPS like: Base Stat, Crit Chance, Crit Damage, Attack Speed and Min-Max Damage. We also have others that don’t, like: Elemental Damage, Specific Skill Damage, Cooldown Reduction, Resource Cost Reduction and more.

Since this is our first rodeo, we will look at a simplified version of the problem. We will analyze our DPS when we are spamming a single skill without worrying about resources and cooldowns. This means that on this article we won’t analyze the value that Cooldown Reduction and Resource Cost reduction bring to the table. (hint: It’s way more than you think)

A later guide will work on how to calculate the damage of your actual skill rotation, but for now lets master the basic Damage Formula.

The DPS Formula:

At large, the Damage formula is just a multiplication of factors. You have your base weapon damage as a factor, your base stat as a factor, a crit derived factor, a skill weapon damage % factor, a damage to elites %, a damage to all skills factor and a few more. You have to multiply all together to figure out what your damage is going to be.

Sheet DPS = Base Stat Factor *Base Damage Factor * Crit Factor * Damage Inc. by Skills Factor * Speed Factor.

Actual DPS = Sheet DPS * Skill Weapon Damage Factor (*Damage to Elites Factor).

You might not understand what all of those factors are so let us take a quick look at each of them.

The Base Stat Factor:

Perhaps the easiest one to understand, it’s your DEX, STR or INT depending on your class.

If you are a Monk and have 7000 DEX then your Base Stat Factor is 7000% or just plain 70.

A Crusader with 5430 STR, has a Base Stat Factor of 5430% or plain 54.30.

The same applies to INT classes.

The Weapon Base Damage Factor:

This is the Damage your weapon says it does, plus the min-max damage on your jewelry. As you notice from the image above, damage bonus from rubies are automatically factored into the weapon.

Remember that dual wielding hits with only one weapon at the time and alternates between them, for simplicity sake we will asume you are not dual wielding.

Base Damage Factor = Weapon Damage + Jewelry Min-Max Damage.

The Crit Factor:

You likely know where to find your crit, but I’ll leave it here anyway.

This is how Critical Strikes contribute to your average damage. Imagine you have 50% Crit Chance and 200% Crit Damage. That means half your strikes are doing normal damage and half are doing 3 times its damage.

So if your base damage is 100 and you attack twice you should on average get one normal attack for 100 damage and one critical for 300 damage. That’s 400 damage over 2 strikes, or 200 average damage. You are doing double your base damage.

To get this factor you must multiply your Crit Chance and your Crit Damage and then add 1 (100%) in other words:

Crit Factor = (Crit Chance * Crit Damage) +100%

Consider the save values presented above, if you have 50% Crit Chance and 200% Crit Damage, then:

50%*200%=100%

100%+100% = 200% = 2

Your crit factor on this scenario is 2, which means your crit stats are effectively doubling your damage.

The Skill Weapon Damage Factor:

Native Skill Weapon damage, Elemental Damage % and Specific Skill Damage % highlighted.

In the Example above, Hammer of the Ancients tells us that it does 640% weapon damage as fire. That value is it’s native Skill Weapon Damage%. This can be increased with the two magic properties highlighted abovie, +Specific Skill Damage% and +Elemental Damage%. Now, none of this is shown on your sheet DPS and it’s often overlooked because of it. In reality most of what makes or breaks a build can be found on this factor.

This is made out of three subfactors:

Native Skill WD Subfactor: What the skill tells you, 640% for the example above
Specific Skill Subfactor: 100%+Specific Skill %, 112% for the example above.
Elemental Damage Subfactor: 100%+Elemental Damage %, 115% for the example above.

Both the Skill Subfactor and The Elemental Damage Subfactor stack additivelly within itself, if I added a 20% Fire Damage Bracers then my elemental damage would be 100% +15%+20% = 135%.

Skill Weapon Damage Factor = Native Skill Weapon Damage % * (100% +Specific Skill %) * (100%+Elemental Damage %)

That’s 824% Weapon Damage for our Example Barbarian, that’s a 8.24 factor.

The Damage Increased by Skills Factor:

Some skills will increase your total damage by a %, Barbarian’s WotB Insanity, Monk’s Combination Strike and many others contribute to this number. In the example above I’m using Fire Ally for a 10% bonus and Unity for another 10% (5% for the Enchantress and 5% for the Fire Ally), you can observe how this stacks additively with itself.

Just like Archon mentioned on an episode of Westmarch Workshop, things tend to stack additively within their own category.

Damage Increased by Skills Factor = 100% + Damage Increased by Skills%

The Damage to Elites Factor:

This is rather simple and it only applies against elites, my monk has 15% and the factor is calculated like this:

Damage to elites factor = 100% + Damage to Elites %

My monk’s Damage to Elites Factor would then be 115% or 1.15.

The Attack Speed Factor:

And to close things out we have the attack speed factor. This is the one that changes this from a Damage Formula to a DPS formula. The factor th
