Damage Formula

Pre-Mitigation
Skill Damage + Magic Damage
Magic Damage
(round(INT × 1.5) + casting weapon magic damage + other equipment magic damage) × (1 + passive damage bonus + buff damage bonus)

Multiply the damage before reductions by 85%.

How Damage Is Calculated

  1. Variance: ×0.9–1.1
  2. Backstab: +10% damage when attacking from behind (Rogues with Improved Backstab: +25% instead)
  3. Level difference: ±2% per level (max ±20%)
  4. Slayer reduction (boss or elite attacking a player or pet): −Slayer level × 10%
  5. Enrage: non-spell attacks by monsters below 10% health deal 50–75% more damage.
  6. Damage reduction: −ceil(damage × clamp(target's Magic Resist × 0.0005, 0, 0.9))
  7. Critical hit: ×1.5
  8. Radiant Aether (15% on a critical hit, consumes one item): ×2 again, for ×3 total

Every 100 points of the matching Resist reduce the damage you take from a hit by 5%, up to a 90% reduction before rounding.

Resist Chance

clamp(
  target's Magic Resist × 0.0005
  + (target level − attacker level) × 0.005
  − attacker's Accuracy
, 0, 0.9)

Every 100 points of the matching Resist add 5 percentage points to resist chance before Accuracy and level difference.

Moving target:
resist chance −25 percentage points, damage +10%
Backstab:
resist chance × 0.8

Attack Timing

interval = cast time × (1 − spell haste) + 0.75s

Spell haste shortens cast time by up to 50%. The 0.75-second recovery time before the next cast does not change.

Cast time = cast time × (1 − spell haste)
