Damage formula

[CountCapacollo]

Where can we find this? I've been looking around to see how damage values are calculated.

For example, if my base is 1-20 physical, and it says I have 20% lightning, cold, and chaos damage, how much is my total damage?

If I do an average of 10 damage (round number for ease), does that mean I do 2 lightning, 2 cold, and 2 chaos damage for a total of 16 damage?

10 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 16

Or does it apply in steps such as 10 base damage, and each step increases that damage further:

((10 + (10 * .2 cold)) * .2 fire) * .2 chaos?

which would be

10 + (10 * .2) = 12
12 + (12 * .2) = 14.4
14.4 + (14.4 * .2) = 17.28

If you go to your skills and press the arrow on the right side of the dps number, you will get a detailed damage breakdown with all elements, hit chance, crit chance and all other applied modifires.

Doesn't really tell me the formula. That leaves me best guessing and trying to find a neutral template to figure out the formula from there.

I was hoping this breakdown was already online so we could have a source of truth on calculations rather than best guessing on some of these values in approximate fashion.

depends.

3 terms you should focus on. Increased, More, Gained.
you also have to work out how much of a damage type is left from base.
example would be if a skill converted 40% phy to lightning then that means there's 60% of the base that is still physical.
the first example you gave seems like gained damage. the second is more.

increased stuff is additive so something like 10 * (1+ (0.2 + 0.2))
sorry i had to edit there

i should say, that second example you gave wouldn't work unless all the sources of more damage is physical not a mix bag of random elements and chaos.
